A foremost authority on modern kosher food production and technology introduces the concepts and practices of kashrus (keeping kosher). New York-based Rabbi Blech elucidates the complexities of kosher certification involved in the scientific/ technical and halachic (Jewish law) aspects of fit foods, their processing, and serving in restaurants--from staples to bioengineered ingredients. Among the some 50 informative essays are new ones on snack foods and the candy/confection industries. The updated industry standard includes a foreword by the rabbinic administrator of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, the preface to the 2005 edition, a table of symbols used to indicate categories of kosher certification, a kashrus glossary for the food technologist, biblical quotes, and an auxiliary website.

The second edition of Kosher Food Production explores the intricate relationship between modern food production and related Kosher application. Following an introduction to basic Kosher laws, theory and practice, author Blech details the essential food production procedures required of modern food plants to meet Kosher certification standards. Chapters on Kosher application include ingredient management; rabbinic etiquette; Kosher for Passover; and the industries of fruits and vegetables, baking, biotechnology, dairy, fish, flavor, meat and poultry, oils, fats, and emulsifiers, and food service. New to this edition are chapters covering Kosher application in the candy and confections industries and the snack foods industry. A collection of over 50 informative commodity-specific essays - specifically geared to the secular audience of food scientists - then follows, giving readers insight and understanding of the concerns behind the Kosher laws they are expected to accommodate. Several essays new to the second edition are included. Kosher Food Production, Second Edition serves as an indispensable outline of the issues confronting the application of Kosher law to issues of modern food technology.

Rabbi Zushe Blech is considered one of the world's leading experts in modern Kosher food production and technology, serving for over twenty years in administrative and field positions relating to all aspects of Kosher certification. He served for fourteen years as a regional director for the 'Kashrus' division of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (the 'OU'), and has since served as a technical and 'Halachic' consultant to virtually all of the major 'Kashrus' certifying agencies worldwide. He has written and lectured throughout the world on the entire gamut of Kosher issues, and has consulted with a number of major food manufacturers to educate them on Kosher issues, obtaining certification, and resolving 'Kashrus' issues. He is a foremost authority on the integration of all aspects of modern food technology with Kosher requirements, including those relating to such cutting-edge issues as biotechnology and enzymology. His articles, many of which are included in Kosher Food Production, have been printed in major Kosher periodicals and publications, such as the Daf ha'Kashrus (OU), Kashrus Magazine, and News & Views (MK). At present, Rabbi Blech directs Kosher certification for 'Kehillas Bais Benzion' in Monsey, NY, and serves as the 'Kashrus' Administrator of EarthKosher Certification.
