{"product_id":"9783319347905","title":"Minimally Processed Foods","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe safety and efficacy of minimal food processing depends on the use of novel preservation technologies. This book first examines what is meant by minimally processed foods, including fresh-cut, cooked-chilled, and part-baked products. Next explored are the technologies or methods to produce quality products in terms of safety and nutrition, including: edible coating, natural preservatives (i.e., antimicrobial, flavour enhancer, anti-browning), advanced packaging (active, antimicrobial, and modified or controlled atmosphere), and selected non-thermal techniques (high pressure, pulsed electric field, ultrasound, light).  Preservation of food is crucial to achieving a secure and safe global food supply with the desired sensory quality. In addition, the increasing consumer demand for safe, ready-to-serve, ready-to-eat-and-cook products with minimal chemical preservatives has raised expectations. However, foods deemed minimally processed, such as fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, cooked-chilled, and half-baked foods, are delicate products that need special care in preparation, processing, storage, and handling. As a result, new technologies to develop minimally processed foods have aggressively advanced. \u003ci\u003eMinimally Processed Foods: Technologies for Safety, Quality, and Convenience \u003c\/i\u003eexplores both the definition of minimally processed foods and the methods and technologies used to achieve the safety and nutritional value consumers demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMohammed Wasim Siddiqui, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, India\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMohammad Shafiur Rahman, Sultan Qaboos University, Al-khod, Oman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 4861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mohammed Wasim Siddiqui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41241683132594,"sku":"9783319347905","price":155.99,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/products\/331934790X.01_SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1635513572","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/products\/9783319347905","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
