In The 2003 International Workshop on Finite Element Modelling in Chemical and Food Engineering - FEMo'03, Salerno, Italy, 9-10 October, 2003 - Finite Element Modelling in Chemical and Food Engineering. Soveria Mannelli : Rubbettino Scientifica, [2003]. p. 7-17http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/6969The role of mathematical modelling in chemical and food engineering studies is briefly and consistently presented. The main goal was to give a short global overview of the relevant aspects involved in modelling processes. Food engineering problems are generally highlighted. It must be emphasised that the following matter should not be analysed in a narrow perspective. The mathematical modelling field, in chemical and food engineering subjects, is very wide and this paper just presents the authors' research point of view.engModellingkineticsOptimisationFood processesjournal article
