Food Engineering Approach for Innovating Food Quality and Preventing Global Warming

Preventing food crises using a food policy approach.

A food crisis occurs when rates of hunger and malnutrition rise sharply at local, national, or global levels. This definition distinguishes a food crisis from chronic hunger, although food crises are far more likely among populations already suffering from prolonged hunger and malnutrition. A food crisis is usually set off by a shock to either supply or demand for food and often involves a sudd...

Food Quality Standards: Quality Issues and Challenges of Food Chain in Burkina Faso

Background: In Burkina Faso, the agricultural sector accounts for 35% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs 82% of the active population. The agri-food industries must apply the requirements of the management systems to improve their economic position and ensure sustainable development. The present study aimed to highlight the similarities and particularities of these repositories gro...

Special Issue: Progress in Membrane Engineering for Food and Biotechnology Industries

Software for Food Engineering Applications

Currently, there are industry standard flowsheeting and design programs available, which are widely used by chemical engineers. However, existing programs for food processing applications are limited in their ability to handle the wide variety of processes and products encountered in the food industry. The scientific impediments involved consist of a lack of knowledge of relationships between p...
