6. 15. Study of tomato fiber fragmentation in the high-pressure homogenizer

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Maytham Al-Ameri; [2019]
   Keywords : food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Homogenization is commonly used in many food processes in which products pass through a narrow gap causing break down of large particles into smaller one thereby reducing creaming and sedimentation of the products. This study aims to investigate fragmentation of tomato fibers and test which breaking mechanisms are dominating in a high-pressure homogenizer. READ MORE
