Ohmic heating provides rapid and uniform heating, resulting in less thermal damage than conventional heating and allowing manufacturers to obtain high-quality products with minimum sensorial, nutritional, and structural changes. Ohmic Heating in Food Processing covers several aspects of Ohmic heating: science and engineering, chemistry and physics,
This book covers all aspects of Ohmic heating, its science and engineering, chemistry and physics, biochemistry and nutrition, quality and safety, and development and technology, both basic and applied. It provides a general overview of Ohmic processing, such as the basic concepts of electricity; the effects of electricity on foods, microorganisms, and enzymes; and a comparison of Ohmic heating and other heating methods. In addition to providing the basic theory and principles, the book provides examples of applications of Ohmic heating for different classes of food products.
