Current Opinion in Food Science, cilt.51, 2023 (SCI-Expanded)
Food industry still relies on conventional canning and aseptic processing for thermal applications, while novel approaches have been introduced for process and energy efficiency with their environmentally-friendly features. Designing and optimizing a thermal process are the main concerns of the food industry where equipment design with manufacturing and process control features are also considered. Therefore, current and future challenges of mathematical approaches and their benefits for the upcoming challenges were introduced. Evolution of modeling studies was also presented, and new enabling technologies combined with mathematical modeling for the food processing were explained for the view of a sustainable and efficient processing.
