Chemical Engineering in Food Processing

Chemical Engineering in Food Processing by Dr. K S M S Raghavarao

Hello everyone,
Sri Venkateswara University College of Engineering (SVUCE) Alumni Association warmly welcomes all students, alumni, faculty, for the webinar on "Chemical Engineering in Food Processing" by Dr. K S M S Raghavarao, Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Tirupati.

About the Lecture

Chemical Engineering in Food Processing
Food is a complex matrix with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins etc. and hence it makes Food Processing complex. Food product is for human consumption, so special attention is to be paid for maintaining microbial quality (food safety) and sensorial quality while retaining the nutrients. During mathematical modelling’ density, porosity and mass & thermal diffusivities cannot be assumed to be constants, as moisture content varies during processing. The talk presents a few case studies highlighting the application of chemical engineering principles to food processing.
