Food Engineering Reviews

[Borgstrom]

I'm an engineer by training and get spammed by lots of technical publishers. Normally I ignore this kind of junk email, but the one below from Food Engineering Reviews caught my eye. I imagine this journal is obscenely expensive (as most technical pubs are), but the publisher is providing free article downloads through December 31, 2010. These articles may be interesting reading for curious foodies and budding food engineers, and may provide some insight into the next advances in modernist cuisine. For example, their December 2010 issue has the following articles:

Mathematical Modeling Procedures for Airflow, Heat and Mass Transfer During Forced Convection Cooling of Produce: A Review

The Use of Electric Fields for Edible Coatings and Films Development and Production: A Review

High Pressure Processing of Meat, Meat Products and Seafood

Polymeric-Based Food Packaging for High-Pressure Processing

Some interesting articles from earlier issues:

Nanoencapsulation: A New Trend in Food Engineering Processing

Enhanced Extraction from Solid Foods and Biosuspensions by Pulsed Electrical Energy

Shelf-Life Testing of Coffee and Related Products: Uncertainties, Pitfalls, and Perspectives

Selected Applications of Ultrasonics in Food Processing

Enjoy!

A Message from the Editor-in-Chief:

Welcome to Food Engineering Reviews. To briefly summarize the goal of this journal, Food Engineering Reviews endeavors to present high quality reviews of state-of-the-art identified topics that range from the classical to modern engineering aspects of food processing, in which authors are encouraged to include their own work.

In addition to unsolicited reviews, the journal also publishes Special Issues including 6 to 8 peer-reviewed articles and focused in a given topic proposed by a Guest Editor and approved by the journal editors. To suggest and lead the publication of a Special Issue is open to the readership, and we encourage submitting proposals to any of the members of the Editorial Board.

We want to make this journal one of the main sources to find the leading edge information on food engineering. This is the commitment of the editors, the editorial board and Springer.
