It has long been assumed that dry food and ingredients, by virtue of their low water activity (aw), carry relatively little risk with regards to foodborne pathogens. It has become clear, however, that whilst pathogens are unlikely to grow in dry products, if present they can often survive.

An important requirement in selecting food packaging systems is the barrier properties of the packaging material. Barrier properties include permeability of gases (such as O2, CO2, and N2), water vapour, aroma compounds and light. These are vital factors for maintaining the quality of packaged foods.
Freeze-drying is a process used in food processing to remove water from foodstuffs, with the goal of increasing their shelf life. The process consists of various steps: At first product temperature is lowered, usually to about -40°C, thus causing freezing of the free water. Later, the pressure in the equipment…

In this era of ever more rapid throughput in food processes, maximising aspects such as crystallisation are of major importance. In fat-based products it is not always as easy as simply cooling the product a bit more and hoping that it will speed things up sufficiently because many fats supercool…

In the design of food products which are high in protein or fibre, it is important for their various properties to control how much water is held by the food material. This water holding capacity (WHC) relates to many sensory, health, nutritional and convenience properties.

Because of their health-promoting properties, including the decreased risk of chronic diseases, such as arteriosclerosis and certain types of cancer, a daily consumption of 600g of fruit and vegetables is recommended by the WHO and the European Commission. Despite the wealth of scientific evidence for this recommendation, this criterion is…
