Wilhelm (biosystems engineering and environmental science, U. of Tennessee, Knoxville) et al. present a textbook for non-engineers wanting to use engineering ideas in food processing, handling, and storage work. Chapters can be used separately and have individual references. They cover problem-solving, physical properties and texture of food, fluid flow, heat transfer, thermal processing, refrigeration systems, psychometrics, drying and dehydration, and energy use.
