Ultrasonic Food Processing
2018Co-Authors: Tsh Leong, Muthupandian Ashokkumar, Gjo MartinAbstract:© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2018. Ultrasonic Processing has wide applicability in the Food industry. Ultrasonication can be used to improve conventional Food Processing unit operations by reducing energy and chemical requirements, thus offering a greener option. It can also be used to modify Foods to create novel Food products not possible using conventional Food Processing technologies. The unique mechanisms of ultrasound derive from both the physical interactions between the ultrasonic wave and the Food medium and the phenomenon known as acoustic cavitation, which is the growth and collapse of bubbles in fluids. Food Processing operations that can be enhanced by the physical effects of ultrasonic waves include drying, defoaming and solid-liquid separations. The physical effects resulting from acoustic cavitation can be used for Food emulsification, extraction, crystallisation and freezing and enhancement of filtration. Viscosity and texture modification, enhancement of wine maturation and deactivation of enzymes and microorganisms can result from a combination of the physical and chemical effects of acoustic cavitation. Currently, ultrasound is being used in only a few select commercial applications in the Food industry, but the future outlook is promising based on positive laboratory and pilot-scale findings.

Power ultrasonics for Food Processing
Power Ultrasonics: Applications of High-Intensity Ultrasound, 2014Co-Authors: Timothy J. Mason, Farid Chemat, Muthupandian AshokkumarAbstract:Power ultrasound generates a number of effects resulting from cavitation bubble collapse that are beneficial in Food Processing. Some of the most useful applications are ultrasonically assisted extraction, emulsification, viscosity changes, protein modification, crystallization, sterilization, drying, and the tenderization and marination of meat. All of these effects have been observed in the laboratory, but larger-scale equipment that allows many of these operations to be commercialized is now available. This chapter also considers the implications of hazard analysis critical control point analysis for ultrasound in Food-Processing operations where industrial-scale applications are adopted.

Ultrasonics in Food Processing
Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 2012Co-Authors: Jayani Chandrapala, Muthupandian Ashokkumar, Christine M. Oliver, Sandra E. KentishAbstract:In recent years, the physical and chemical effects of ultrasound in liquid and solid media have been extensively used in Food Processing applications. Harnessing the physical forces generated by ultrasound, in the absence and presence of cavitation, for specific Food Processing applications such as emulsification, filtration, tenderisation and functionality modification have been highlighted. While some applications, such as filtration and emulsification are "mature" industrial processes, other applications, such as functionality modification, are still in their early stages of development. However, various investigations discussed suggest that ultrasonic Processing of Food and dairy ingredients is a potential and viable technology that will be used by many Food industries in the near future.

Solar energy in Food Processing—a critical appraisal
Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2013Co-Authors: Amruta R. Eswara, M. RamakrishnaraoAbstract:Increasing population and high cost of fuels have created opportunities for using alternate energies for post-harvest Processing of Foods. Solar Food Processing is an emerging technology that provides good quality Foods at low or no additional fuel costs. A number of solar dryers, collectors and concentrators are currently being used for various steps in Food Processing and value addition. Society for Energy, Environment and Development (SEED) developed Solar Cabinet Dryer with forced circulation which has been used for dehydration and development of value added products from locally grown fruits, vegetables, leafy greens and forest produce. Drying under simulated shade conditions using UV-reducing Blue filter helps retain nutrients better. Its simple design and ease of handling makes SEED Solar Dryer an ideal choice for application of Food Processing in rural settings, closer to where the harvest is produced, eliminating the need for expensive transportation or storage of fresh produce. It also creates employment opportunities among the rural population, especially women. Other gadgets based on solar collectors and concentrators currently being used at various steps of Food Processing are reviewed.

Food Processing Industry in India
International Journal of Research, 2018Co-Authors: Rahul KadianAbstract:Mahatma Gandhi envisaged a self-sustaining village economy in which he implicitly included Food Processing or agro based industry as a means of achieving it.Food Processing combines raw Food ingredients to produce marketable Food products that can be easily prepared and served by the consumer.A strong and dynamic Food Processing sector plays a vital role in reduction in the wastage of perishable agricultural produce, enhancing shelf life of Food products,ensuring value addition to agricultural produce, diversification &commercialization of agriculture, generation of employment, enhancing income of farmers and creating surplus for the export of agro & processed Foods.The main aim of this paper is to elaborate the concept of Food Processing and also to examine their importance in economy of India. Additionally, this paper contains the discussion about important location factors for Food Processing industries in India along with other upstream and downstream linkages. This research work also attempts to throw some light on conception of Mega Food Parks in India and the bottlenecks faced by Food Processing entrepreneurs in the Industry. And In the end, this study also entails some possible suggestions for further growth and development of this sector in Indian Economy .

Sustainable Development of Food Processing Enterprises in China
Sustainability, 2019Co-Authors: Shuai Cao, Dong Tian, Xiaoshuan Zhang, Yunxian HouAbstract:Sustainable development is an eternal topic in the development of human society. The paper seeks to contribute to the adoption of sustainable development practices in the Food Processing enterprises of China by fostering the capacities of the enterprises. Moreover, the paper aims to contribute to the promotion of sustainable consumption by helping and encouraging consumers in making informed choices of sustainable and eco-efficient produced Foodstuffs. We combined with 1015 survey data in 28 areas of China by using AHP model analysis of the sustainable development of Food Processing enterprises. The results show that, the overall level of sustainable development ability of Food Processing enterprises in China is not high; paying attention to economic is significantly more important than paying attention to social and environmental aspects. Chinese Food Processing entities have an acceptable basis for the implementation of sustainable development. But there are still some problems. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to promote the sustainable development of Chinese Food Processing enterprises.
