This book provides a comprehensive guide to all the factors involved in providing the consumer with safe, high quality products.

The editors introduce this important new collection with a discussion of trends and influences in the various sectors of the chilled foods market. Subsequent chapters then look at the key safety and quality issues in the manufacture of chilled foods. Part 1 three new chapters examine the critical importance of raw material selection in final product quality. Part 2 covers technologies and processes with updated coverage of refrigeration technology, temperature monitoring and measurement, and packaging. Part 3 Microbiological and non-microbiological hazards are discussed Part 4 includes chapters on such key topics as shelf-life determination and challenge testing; quality and consumer acceptability; total quality management; safe process design; hygienic design, cleaning and disinfection; and legislation covering chilled foods.
