Summary

Mastering the quality of foodstuffs and developing new products that comply with the multiple needs of the market is an increasingly demanding task for technical managers in the food sector. Quality control is based on scientific findings in microbiology, food physics and chemistry, but also on the technologies implemented in the manufacturing and preservation of foodstuffs. This volume describes the microbiological, biochemical and physicochemical phenomena involved in the quality of foodstuffs, as well as the means and processes that stabilize foodstuffs biologically and physicochemically. Extract from the table of contents: water and food components; modifying-agents and mechanisms in foodstuffs: microbial alterations; lipid oxidation; enzymatic and non-enzymatic browning; molecular dynamics in food matrices; food stabilization treatments: fundamentals of biological and physicochemical stabilization of foodstuffs; transfers: the fundamentals of unitary operations (transfers in convective and conductive modes); biological stabilization operations (chilling and freezing; ice formation; freezing-energy balance and the kinetics of cooling; modifications in foodstuffs during freezing and storage; thawing; dehydration; thermal treatments; freeze-drying); quality control and assessment; controlling food quality; assessing the physicochemical characteristics of the quality of foodstuffs.
