Emerging Technologies in Food Processing and Post Harvest Sector: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
-The commercial exploitation of the biochemical diversity of microorganisms has resulted in the development of the fermentation industry and the techniques of genetic manipulation have given this well-established industry the opportunity to develop new processes and to improve existing ones. Microorganisms are capable of growing on a wide range of substrates and can produce a remarkable spectrum of products. Food processing involves the conversion of raw ingredients into more acceptable food forms. Food processing is related to crops after harvesting, animal products prepared after slaughtering of animals and converting these products to appeal the general consumers for market profitability and for increasing the storage life of the finished processed products. Animal and fish feeds are also manufactured by this same mechanism of processing. Keywords--Food processing, Microorganisms

Investigating the Effects of Plant Essences on the Control of Post Crop Diseases
Post-harvest diseases are one of the main causes of reducing the supply of fresh garden products. The occurrence of post-harvest diseases can affect the quality and limit the shelf life of fresh horticultural products. Currently, strict ordinances apply to import agricultural products. One of these regulations is the minimum residual pesticide residue in the fresh food sector. On the other hand...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Review of Membrane Distillation and Osmotic Distillation in Agro-Food Applications
Membrane distillation (MD) and osmotic distillation (OD) are emerging athermal processing techniques of great interest in agro-food production where the most part of products is sensitive to thermal treatments. With respect to conventional methods, MD and OD are competitive alternatives, able to work in an environmental-friendly and cost-efficient way, for preserving the nutritional and sensori...
متن کاملFlavor formation and character in cocoa and chocolate: a critical review.
Chocolate characters not only originate in flavor precursors present in cocoa beans, but are generated during post-harvest treatments and transformed into desirable odor notes in the manufacturing processes. Complex biochemical modifications of bean constituents are further altered by thermal reactions in roasting and conching and in alkalization. However, the extent to which the inherent bean ...
متن کاملReverse Engineering of Agricultural Machinery: A Key to Food Sufficiency in Nigeria
Agriculture employs about three-quarter of Nigeria's workforce and yet food sufficiency is a challenge in the country. This is largely due to poor and outdated pre-harvest and post-harvest farming practices. The land fallow system is still been practised as fertiliser production in the country is grossly inadequate and expensive. The few available post-harvest processing facilities are faced wi...
متن کاملFood Safety Impacts from Post-Harvest Processing Procedures of Molluscan Shellfish
Post-harvest Processing (PHP) methods are viable food processing methods employed to reduce human pathogens in molluscan shellfish that would normally be consumed raw, such as raw oysters on the half-shell. Efficacy of human pathogen reduction associated with PHP varies with respect to time, temperature, salinity, pressure, and process exposure. Regulatory requirements and PHP molluscan shellfi...
