Extraction Techniques for Food Processing

Extraction is a process that is growing in importance. It is generally more energy efficient than competitive processes such as expression-the pressing of biological feed materials to liberate fluids. The high cost of modern extraction techniques and the increasingly stringent environmental regulations together with the new requirements of the medical and food industries for ultra-pure and high value added products have pointed out the need for the development of new and clean technologies for the processing of food products. .....
