emerging technologies for the food industry: volume 2: advances in nonthermal processing technologies

Focuses on nonthermal processing and its applications, including high-pressure processing, ultrasound processing, high intensity pulsed light technology, pulsed electric field processing, cold plasma, ozone processing, as well as the use of sub- and supercritical processing, and electrohydrodynamic technologies.

C. Anandharamakrishnan, PhD, has been the Director of the Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology (IIFPT), Thanjavur, India, since 2016. Before that, he was Principal Scientist and Coordinator for the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) at CSIR-CFTRI. has more than two decades of experience in research and administration. His areas of research include the design of engineered nano- and micro-scale delivery systems for the controlled and targeted release of food bioactive compounds, 3D food printing, engineered human dynamic gastrointestinal system and glycemic index studies, spray drying and spray-freeze-drying of food products, and computational modeling of food processing operations. He is also the author and editor of 10 books and 68 book chapters published by reputable publishers. He has supervised 13 PhD theses and more than 50 bachelor’s and master’s theses. Dr. Anandharamakrishnan is an elected Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences (FNASc), Fellow of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (FRSB), and Fellow of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists (India)-AFST(I) and the Institute of Engineers (FIE). He is also the recipient of the prestigious NASI-Reliance Industries Platinum Jubilee Award 2018, Tamil Nadu Scientist Award 2018, and the AIFPA Special Platinum Jubilee Award for Development of Food Processing Technology and Innovation 2018. He has received several other awards, including Dr. B. D. Tilak Chemcon Distinguished Speaker Award 2016 from the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE), the Dr. M.
