Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of technological processes and technologies for the food industry, as an imperative requirement for the diversification and the improvement of the quality of products necessary for the nutrition of human beings, requires continuous research for the development, improvement and optimization of the construction and operation of the specific machineries and installations. The related research should take into account all the necessary steps for the development of the theoretical foundations regarding the mathematical modeling and automatization of the working processes on which the design and fabrication of equipment, machinery and installations for food industry are based.
At the same time, in order to increase the efficiency of the production and diversification of the food products, researchers should aim to consider unprecedented areas of study for the development, diversification and automatization of technological lines, which should address the requirements regarding the environment and food safety, as well as the ones regarding the decrease in energy consumption.
Considering all the aspects mentioned above and being aware of the research themes specific to the equipment and machinery for food industry, we invite researchers, academic staff and engineers with significant scientific results in the advancement of this field to submit their work for publication in this Special Issue.
