Beskrivning
Global food security is a challenging issue. Meeting the food and nutritional requirements of the world has become an issue for national policymakers and is of public concern. There is a need to enhance agricultural production, as well as, to reduce postharvest loss, improve the quality of processed products, and add value to products to make more quality food available. Agro-product processing technology plays a major role to reduce post-harvest losses, improve the quality of processed products, and add value to the products. It also generates employment and ultimately contributes to food security.Features: Covers a wide spectrum of agro-product processing technology Explains the principles and practices of agro-product processing technology with many worked examples to quickly teach the basic principles through examples Contains examples from different operations on current problems to show the wide applications of the principles of agro-product technology Includes process control and emerging technologies in agro-product processing such as energy and exergy analysis, neural network modeling, and CFD modelingThis book deals with physical and thermal properties, cleaning and sorting, drying and storage, parboiling and milling, by-product utilization, heating and cooling, refrigerated cooling, and cold storage. The most unique feature of this book is the machine vision for grading fruits, process control and materials handling, and emerging technologies such as neural network, finite element, CFD, and genetic algorithm.

Mer information

Professor B. K. Bala is the dean of the Faculty of Engineering,Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and TechnologyUniversity, Gopalganj, Bangladesh, and was a professor in theDepartment of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh AgriculturalUniversity, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, where he was engaged in teachingand research for over 42 years starting from 1970. He has supervisedmore than a dozen PhD students in the areas of drying and storageof agro products, modeling of food security, modeling of integratedenergy systems and energy policy, renewable energy, modeling of climatechange impacts, and emerging technologies such as neural network,exergy, genetic algorithm, and computational fluid dynamics.Professor Bala received a B.Sc. (Eng.) degree from BangladeshUniversity of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh, in1969 and an M.Eng. degree from the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok, Thailand, in 1975.Professor Bala also received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, in1983 and worked on modeling and simulation of heat and mass transfer during industrial deep-beddrying of malt and provided the foundation and basis for energy conservation and online control ofindustrial deep bed drying of malt. He also worked on solar drying as an EC postdoctoral fellow atthe University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, from 1992 to 1993. He was on a DAAD study visit atthe Institute of Agricultural Engineering in the Tropics and Subtropics, University of Hohenheim,Germany, for research on solar drying in 1995. Professor Bala also served as a research fellow at theInstitute of Agricultural and Food Policy Research, Universiti Putra Malaysia from 2012 to 2014.Professor Bala has published 207 scientific papers mostly in high-impact factor journals, andhe is also the author of nine textbooks. He is the author of Drying and Storage of Cereal Grainspublished by Wiley-Blackwell in 2017, and he is the co-author of System Dynamics Modeling andSimulation published by Springer in 2017.
