Reviews
"Berk (biotechnology & food engineering, Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Israel) presents this detailed textbook on the science and engineering of food processing. The first several chapters cover physical and thermal properties of food materials and kinetics of especially enzymatic transformations...Cost and materials efficiency is emphasized throughout, and appendices offer additional technical data." --ProtoView.com, February 2014
