Food Engineering Flashcards
Food Processing/Engineering
Promotes desirable changes of nature and form
Prevents undesirable changes
Finished Product =
Vary comp + Ingredients
+ Appropriate processing
Definition of Food
An aqueous mixture of proteins, carbs, lipids, vit, min, colorants, enzymes
Constituents of food are produced by
cellular processes
Def of Engineering
The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems
Food Engineering def
The application of scientific and mathematical principles to design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems for processing food
Food Engineering deals w (2)
- Theory of transport phenomena
1. Thermodynamics of food systems to monitor and control the processing of food material
Transport Phenomena Theory
Heat, mass, and momentum transfer during processing of food material
Tool Box of Production
Raw materials
- -> tools
- –> finished product
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed
Input = Output + Accumulation
Law of Conservation of Mass applies to (3)
total material
ind constituents
chem groups & elem
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
1st Law of Thermodynamics
Energy accumulation = heat input - work
Differential Momentum Balance equation
rate of momentum in - momentum out + sum of forces = rate of accumulation of momentum
Latent Energy
liquid to solid
vapor to solid
solid to vapor
Mass conversion is between
physical change of state
chemical fermentation
Sensible energy
vapor gas
Chemical Rxn of Starch
starch –> glucose –> alc
Chem Rxn of Polyphenols
Polyphenols –> Tea color
