Description and Table of Contents
Description
Consumers spend more money on food than on any other commodity, and instrumentation is of great importance to the food industry, with particular emphasis on very high sanitary and hygienic operating standards. This text covers the wide range of instruments used in the industry, with contributions from specialists. It discusses both instruments routinely used at present and those likely to be introduced in the next few years.
