ABSTRACT

While mathematically sophisticated methods can be used to better understand and improve processes, the nonlinear nature of food processing models can make their dynamic optimization a daunting task. With contributions from a virtual who's who in the food processing industry, Optimization in Food Engineering evaluates the potential uses and limitati
