| Summary |
For the first time, engineering for the packaging industry - and for the biggest packaging user, food processing - is presented in a way that clearly demonstrates its interconnected, globally integrated nature. Food and Package Engineering is a groundbreaking work that serves as a comprehensive guide to the complexities and the potential of the industry. Packaging draws on nearly every aspect of science, technology, business, social science, and engineering.℗¡ Rather than present a traditionally linear view of these topics, the author takes a "Packaging Cycle" approach by guiding readers throug |
