Abstract The United States Armed
Forces’ interest in the application of microwave energy to food processing and
foodservice dates back to the mid-1940's, and has continued to the present. A
review of microwave related projects over the years is presented along with a
discussion of two specific applications that appear to have considerable
commercial/industrial potential: freeze-drying and in-pouch sterilization of
foods. |
