Juice Processing

Víctor Falguera received two PhDs, one of them in agrifood science and technology at the University of Lleida and the other one in engineering and advanced technologies at the University of Barcelona. He worked for several years in the Food Technology Department of the University of Lleida in topics related to fruit juice processing, such as non-thermal technologies, fruit-derived enzymes, and fluid food physical and chemical properties analysis. Having published more than 50 scientific papers, Dr. Falguera is one of the founding members of the platform Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Services (AKIS International). Albert Ibarz received a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Barcelona. He is a technical engineer in the agricultural and food industries for the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Dr. Ibarz is a professor of food technology at the University of Lleida. He has published more than 200 scientific articles, mostly on rheology, chemistry, biochemistry and photochemistry kinetics, and UV treatments. He has presented more than 150 communications to national and international congresses. Dr. Ibarz is coauthor of three food engineering books and author and coauthor of eight book chapters.
