Hi Charles,

Thank You for the reply.

I am interested in the food sectors like:

1. Flavours

2. The food industries involving wet processing like preparation of ready - to -eat and dairy.

3. Milling

4. Clean Rooms of Class ISO 8 and 9 ( for packaging materials)

 

Thanks and regards,

Geethanjali

Hi Geetha,

 

I can suggest one general book i have found useful -

 

Hygienic Design of Food Factories by Holah et al.

(viewable as Google book)

 

You will also find extensive information in the many textbooks on "Hygiene in Food processing", eg many texts authored/edited by Lelieveld

 

Dairy Technology has a similar vast number of textbooks which include details of building design, for example various texts authored by Robinson et al.

 

Cleanrooms is a more specialized area IMEX, there are numerous textbooks on "Aseptic Food Packaging" if that is your objective. Try Google.

 

Campden in UK issue recognized texts on every aspect of Food processing including Building Design but not free.

As per Charles' post, I would recommend:

 

Guidelines for the hygienic design, construction and layout of food processing factories 2003 (Campden BRI)

Hi Tony and Charles,

 

Thank you. I will check these books.

 

Sorry for delayed reply as we were in process of FSSC re-cert audit.

 

I did google search and found Hygienic Design of Food Factories (Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition) to be very interesting. I have ordered this book. Hope it may meet my requirements.
