The undergraduate and postgraduate students, educators, and researchers in the fields of postharvest technology, food technology, and food science and technology frequently require comprehensive and authoritative resources on the subject of quality control in the food processing industry. Presently, there is no existing publication that provides an overview of quality control in the food processing sector. The book Quality Control for Value Addition in Food Processing consists of twelve chapters that cover various aspects of the food processing industry, including processing plant hazards, quality characteristics, food standards and statutes, food safety assurance systems, enzymes in food processing, waste management in the food industry, marketing and export management, and practical methods for quality control. The text is complemented by tables, figures, and plates to enhance understanding of the material. This book will be a valuable resource for students pursuing courses in postharvest technology, food technology, and food science and technology, as well as for professionals involved in quality management systems in the food processing industry.
