Postharvest Technology and Food Process Engineering (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Cereals, legumes, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables are the most important food crops in the world, with cereal grains contributing the bulk of food calories and proteins worldwide. Generally, the supply of grains and other food can be enhanced by increasing production and by reducing postharvest losses. While food production has increased significa
