Food Industry 4.0: Emerging Trends and Technologies in Sustainable Food Production and Consumption

Developments in Food Quality and Safety Series is the most up-to-date resource covering trend topics such as Advances in the analysis of toxic compounds and control of food poisoning; Food fraud, traceability and authenticity; Revalorization of agrifood industry; Natural antimicrobial compounds and application to improve the preservation of food; Non-thermal processing technologies in the food industry; Nanotechnology in food production; and Intelligent packaging and sensors for food applications.

Volume 4, Food Industry 4.0: Emerging Trends and Technologies in Food Production and Consumption covers several technologies (e.g., robotics, smart sensors, artificial intelligence, and big data) at different development and research levels in order to provide holistic multidisciplinary approaches that embrace simultaneously as many Industry 4.0 technologies as possible, reflecting the long journey of food from farm (or sea) to fork. Chapters explore automation, digitalization, and green technologies, besides food quality, food safety food traceability, processing and preservation 4.0. Topics such as smart sensors, artificial intelligence and big data revolution, additive manufacturing, and emerging food trends are also explored. The series is edited by Dr. José Manuel Lorenzo and authored by a team of global experts in the fields of Food Quality and Safety, providing comprehensive knowledge to food industry personals and scientists.
