From the reviews: "This book, edited by Gutierrez-Lopez (National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico) and others, is a collection of 34 articles that resulted from an effort to integrate food engineering through a comprehensive cooperative program of the Ibero-American Program on Science and Technology for Development. ... is a significant addition to the food engineering literature and will be useful for those involved in food engineering research, teaching, and industrial practice. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and up." (L. E. Erickson, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), August, 2008)
