Focusing on the scale up, processing, and automation of nutraceutical production under cGMP production regulations, this volume introduces processing techniques including homogenization, particle size reduction, emulsification, and cell disruption as well as high shear fluid processing with high precision, uniformity, and predictability. It addresses factors that enhance nutritional value, color, taste, and texture and presents computer simulation and modeling techniques used in scaling and processing. It discusses the aspects and applications of a wide range of processing techniques such as continuous vs. batch processing, pelletization, extrusion, extraction, and purification and addresses current challenges and future trends.
