Effect of chemical engineering on development of food industry

The effect of implementation of technical knowledge, including chemical eng ineering, on the development of food industry is described. Today food indu stry is a modem one fully mechanised and considerably automated. Examples o f the use of theories of momentum, heat and mass transfer in design of food processing processes are given. Conditions arising from raw material prope rties, hygienic and quality requirements need welding chemical engineering with chemistry and biology. Areas of food technology in which there is a gr eat need for co-operation with other sciences are illustrated.
