Unit Operations in Food Grain Processing

Unit Operations in Food Grains Processing covers theory, principles and best practices in cleaning, grading, drying, storage, milling, handling and their transport. The book overviews grain types, grain structure, composition, and engineering properties. It then moves into aspects of processing and reviews best practices in processing rice and wheat, pulses, oilseeds and millets. The book discusses value addition methods and products of grains, waste and by-product utilization, and biofuel production from grains. These discussions outline equipment and machinery needed, different methods of operations for different grains, and advances in grain processing as well as grain waste and by-product utilization.

Chapters includes numerical problems, principles, design, illustrations and common questions to aid in understanding.

• Presents different methods of operations, along with updates on the types of grains and latest advances in grain processing
• Explores grain waste, by-product utilization and biofuel production from grains
• Covers all the unit operations followed in grains, theory and principle, equipment/machinery for each unit operation
