Asli Can Karaca received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Food Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey, and her Ph.D. in Food Science from University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK in Canada. She has 10 years of industrial experience in an international medium-sized flavor house. Currently, she is working as an Associate Professor within the Department of Food Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. Her research interest lies in developing value-added protein-based ingredients from sustainable and low-cost resources, investigating their functionality and utilization in innovative food products. She worked in key projects focusing on the effect of proteins on encapsulation efficiency and developing wall material systems combining various biopolymers for encapsulation of bioactives.

Mechanical Separation Processes in the Food Industry, a volume in the Unit Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series, explains the processing operations and equipment necessary for mechanical separation unit operations including filtration, centrifugation, sieving, metal detection, sedimentation, etc. These processes and unit operations are very important in the manufacture of products such as cream, fruit juices, beverages, refining of edible oils and sugar.

Divided in two sections, “Different Mechanical Separation Processes “ and “Application of mechanical separation operations in the food industry”, All chapters emphasize basic texts relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of food engineering principles and the relevant processing equipment to mechanical separation unit operations.

Written by experts in the field of food engineering, in a simple and dynamic way, this book targets industrial Engineers working in the field of food processing and within food factories to make them more familiar with the particular food processing operations and equipment.
