Biosystems engineering as an integrated science combines the fields of engineering design and analysis with biological sciences to provide solutions for food production and processing problems. Since food production is an ever-growing, constantly changing food engineering frontier, it is faced with a range of dynamic problems. This new book, Biosystems Engineering Applications for Quality Food Production: Waste Valorization and New Product Development, shows how the two areas of biosystems engineering and food industry come together in an interdisciplinary way to offer solutions to these problems. The book presents the most recent advances in these two areas, ranging from the use of biodigesters, bioremediation of effluents from the food industry, use of microorganisms to produce polymers and their applications, waste recovery, new products development, new applications for new varieties of crops, replacement of fats in food, improvement in bovine production, and production and harvesting microalgae and cyanobacteria. It includes current topics that include the application of biosystems for food processing, the revaluation of agro-industrial waste, bioremediation systems, as well as new trends in the development of food from start to finish. The book also discusses the generation of value-added products and new functional foods. This informative book is a compendium of the use and application of biosystems in the food industry—from primary production to processing, waste evaluation, and bioremediation, that is, an integral food production system. As such, the book will serve as a guide for those involved in the fields of biotechnology and agricultural sciences. It will also prove useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those in the agro-industrial sector.

Food processing is a part of the manufacturing industry. To serve a marketable food product there are several intrinsic and extrinsic parameters to consider that determine the specific processing design of each product. Food production should ensure a safe, environmentally sustainable, and adequate supply of food. This book presents a comprehensive review of food processing applications. Chapters address such topics as the effects of rice bran, corn fiber, and sugarcane bagasse on the quality of baked foods, honey production processes, the potential usage of pectin in food packaging, and agro-industrial wastes for packaging processes, and much more.
