The current practices in the food industry are rapidly changing with emerging food processing technologies, novel functional food products, and consumer demand for high value and nutritionally rich products. The present book focuses on key areas of food processing technologies, giving updated information related to food science, novel applications of processing technologies, and functional foods. As food processing is a multidisciplinary field and involves huge number of aspects, it is important to select topics that will have novelty as well as provide current scientific information.

Some of the areas covered by the book include waste utilization in the food industry, utilization of underutilized fruits, and pseudo cereals. The section on processing includes non-thermal plasma applications, extraction of bioactive compounds, tuber crops processing,and advances in fish processing.

With chapters written by experienced researchers and academicians in their respective fields, the volume will be a valuable source of information for food professionals.
