Introduction
Two major categories of process might be
A process may be thought of as a sequence of considered; those which ensure food safety, that

Process engineering is concerned with developing Examples of the latter include the addition of
an understanding of these operations and with components in mixing, the separation of
the prediction and quantifying of the resultant components in filtration or centrifugation or the
changes to feed materials (such as composition formation of particles in spray drying.

Material properties
This understanding leads in turn to the
specification of the dimensions of process Although foods are always liquid or solid in form,
equipment and the temperatures, pressures and many foods are aerated (e.g. ice cream), many
other conditions required to achieve the processes utilize gases or vapors (e.g. steam as a
necessary output of product. heat source) and many storage procedures require
gases of a particular composition.
It is a quantitative science in which accuracy and
precision, measurement, mathematical reasoning, It is important to understand the properties and
modeling and prediction are all important. behavior of gases, liquids and solids. Transfer of
