This enlarged and fully-revised edition of a comprehensive text and reference book examines the principles, process, operation, design, and other aspects of drying, parboiling, storage, milling, and by-products of common cereals, pulses and oilseeds. Different types of machinery used in rice and other grain milling have been examined in detail and special emphasis has been placed on specifications, design, and testing procedures of modern grain dryers, husk fired furnaces, and data on physiothermal and physiochemical properties of cereal grains.

The book presents techniques in the make and supply of grains, natural products, vegetables, and flavors. It points of interest the physiology, structure, organization, and attributes of grains and products. The content spreads postharvest technology through preparing, taking care of, drying and processing to capacity, bundling, and appropriation. Moreover, it analyzes cooling and preservation procedures used to keep up the quality and the abatement deterioration and shrinking of agricultural items. This book tends to factors that are associated with keeping up the nature of grains, beats, oilseeds, foods grown from the ground after harvest. This book consolidates data on postharvest administration, standards associated with readiness of different items and also strategy engaged with home scale and additionally mechanical handling of oats, beats, oilseeds, products of the soil. General phrasings utilized as a part of the sustenance science and technology are additionally incorporated into this book. This will build the per capita accessibility of products of the soil. One object of this book is to compose the scatted data and to manage the current advancement of postharvest administration and preparing advances, for example, forms, operations, outlines different angles, for example, drying, parboiling, processing, by-items usage and inventive item improvement from agricultural crude material.

The Handbook of Postharvest Technology presents methods in the manufacture and supply of grains, fruits, vegetables, and spices. It details the physiology, structure, composition, and characteristics of grains and crops. The text covers postharvest technology through processing, handling, drying and milling to storage, packaging, and distribution. Additionally, it examines cooling and preservation techniques used to maintain the quality and the decrease spoilage and withering of agricultural products.

This book covers various method of extending the postharvest life of fruits and vegetables viz, storage, packaging, canning, chemical & low temperatures preservation, irradiation, fermentation & waste management.

With reference to India.

World health authorities recommend people maximize their protein intake through vegetable sources (such as pulses), and reduce protein intake from animal sources. Increasing vegetable protein intake has been shown to be positively associated with the reduction of both cardiovascular-disease-related mortality and all-cause mortality. Pulse consumption has been shown to improve satiety and metabolism of glucose and lipids, due to their high protein and fiber content, which makes their consumption ideal for preventing and managing obesity. In recent years, there has been increasing demand for pulses and pulse-based products in developed countries. Several large-scale collaborative research projects on pulse products have been initiated by government agencies. Similarly, established multinational food companies have developed pulse product units. Pulses: Processing and Product Development fulfills the need for a comprehensive book on processing and products of pulses. The book addresses a specific pulse with each chapter to meet a wide range of audiences from undergraduate students to consumers.

Unit Operations in Food Grain Processing covers theory and principles as well as best practices in cleaning, grading, drying, storage, milling, handling, transportation, and packaging of grains. The book begins with an overview of grain types, grain structure and composition, and engineering properties of different grains. It then moves into the aspects of processing. It reviews best practices in processing rice, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, millets, and pseudocereals. The book discusses value addition methods, products of grains, and waste and by-product utilization from grains. These discussions outline equipment and machinery needed, different methods of operations for various grains, and advances in grain processing as well as grain waste and by-product utilization.The book has 18 chapters in total. Each chapter discusses principles, design, illustrations, advances, and challenges to aid in understanding. Therefore this book is a valuable reference material for academicians, researchers, consultants, manufacturers, and practitioners in the field of food processing. - Presents different methods of operations and the latest advances in grain processing - Explores value addition, grain waste and by-product utilization from grains - Covers all the unit operations followed in grains processing, theory, and principle - Covers application of emerging technologies in grain processing
