This book first examines what is meant by minimally processed foods, including fresh-cut, cooked-chilled, and part-baked products. Next explored are the technologies or methods to produce quality products in terms of safety and nutrition, including: edible coating, natural preservatives (i.e., antimicrobial, flavour enhancer, anti-browning), advanced packaging (active, antimicrobial, and modified or controlled atmosphere), and selected non-thermal techniques (high pressure, pulsed electric field, ultrasound, light).  Preservation of food is crucial to achieving a secure and safe global food supply with the desired sensory quality. In addition, the increasing consumer demand for safe, ready-to-serve, ready-to-eat-and-cook products with minimal chemical preservatives has raised expectations. However, foods deemed minimally processed, such as fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, cooked-chilled, and half-baked foods, are delicate products that need special care in preparation, processing, storage, and handling. As a result, new technologies to develop minimally processed foods have aggressively advanced. \u003ci\u003eMinimally Processed Foods: Technologies for Safety, Quality, and Convenience \u003c\/i\u003eexplores both the definition of minimally processed foods and the methods and technologies used to achieve the safety and nutritional value consumers demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMohammed Wasim Siddiqui, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, India\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMohammad Shafiur Rahman, Sultan Qaboos University, Al-khod, Oman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319347905\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-10677-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 306\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398604320908,"sku":"9783319347905","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319347905_86cba27e-ba6e-4ec4-a113-9b0b54d6bf72.jpg?v=1775737064","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319347905","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
