Food Process Engineering
A section of Processes (ISSN 2227-9717).
Section Information
This Section of the journal Processes focuses on all aspects of food processes, including on experimental, theoretical, and computational research in this area. The aim is to publish research that will enhance knowledge about chemical and biochemical reaction processes, mass transfer, separation, purification and fragmentation processes, heat transfer systems, mixing and fluid processes, integrated process design and scale-up, process modeling, optimization, simulation and control, all of which are topics that may be linked to food processes. Food quality aspects and energy saving in food processing are also of interest, as well as those related to the use of agro-food industry waste. All manuscripts submitted for publication under this section will undergo the high-quality peer review process of the Processes journal and, if accepted, will be published rapidly online.
