Preface This book concentrates on the more recent methods and techniques for separating food components and products of the biotechnology industry. Each chapter deals with a specific type or area of application and includes information on the basic principles, industrial equipment available, commercial applications and an overview of current research and development and some of the heat and mass transfer considerations in batch and continuous processes Separations from solids, liquids and gases are briefly discussed. A summary is provided of the more conventional separation techniques such as screening, filtration and centrifugation, and techniques for removing water, such as evaporation, freeze- concentration and dehydration. However, the main emphasis is on separation processes, which have received less attention in textbooks on food-engineering and food-processing operations. It is hoped that this book will complement and supplement many of these excellent texts. Chapter 2 deals with the use of supercritical fluids for extraction rocesses, with special reference to carbon dioxide. Chapter 3 deals with pressure ctivated membrane techniques, and covers the general principles, reviews the applications of reverse osmosis, and serves as an introduction to Chapters 4 and 5, which deal specifically with the principles and applications of ultrafiltration and microfiltration respectively. The separation and recovery of charged particles by ion exchange and electrodialysis is covered in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 discusses innovative separation processes, and reviews some of the methods being actively investigated, some of which are now coming into industrial practice. Much of the emphasis in these chapters is on the separation and recovery of proteins and biologically active ingredients. Chapter 8 is specifically on the methods available for fractionating fat, and covers the upsurge in interest and recent developments in this area. The book concludes with a chapter on solids separation processes, with special reference to particulates. The physical properties which influence the separation are reviewed, together with sieving, screening and air classification. Wet processing methods for extraction are discussed, together with some miscellaneous applications such as dehulling, peeling and cleaning
