Sustainability is an essential part of our modern food production system. Carrying out food research that considers environmental, social, and economic factors, is a major objective for food producers and researchers. Strategic development and use of technology can greatly assist in the progression toward a more sustainable food system.

Sustainable Production Technology in Food explores important scientific and practical aspects related to sustainable technologies used in all aspects of the food system. This book is organized into 13 chapters, that cover the main concepts related to sustainability and technology. Coverage includes current technology in the industry, technological developments to improve sustainability of food production (biopreservation, pulsed electric fields, high pressure processing, ultrasound, cold plasma, and nanotechnology), regulatory aspects, and future perspectives.
