Academic Press Lipids and Edible Oils: Properties, Processing and Applications

Product Description Lipids and Edible Oils: Properties, Processing and Applications covers the most relevant topics of lipids and edible oils, especially their properties, processing and applications. Over the last years, researchers have investigated lipid bioavailability, authentication, stability and oxidation during processing and storage, hence the development of food and non-food applications of lipids and edible oils has attracted great interest. The book explores lipid oxidation in foods, the application of lipids as nano-carriers of food bioactive compounds, and their bioavailability, metabolism and nutritional genomics. Regarding edible oils, the book thoroughly explores their triacylglycerols content, biodiesel and energy production from vegetable oils, refining and lifecycle assessment. Written by a team of interdisciplinary experts that research lipids and edible oils, the book is intended for food scientists, technologists, engineers and chemists working in the whole food science field. Review "This book discusses lipid oxidation in foods, and the application of lipids as nano-carriers of food bioactive compounds, and their bioavailability, metabolism and nutritional genomics. It also includes edible oils, and their triacylglycerols content, biodiesel and energy production from vegetable oils, refining and lifecycle assessment. It is intended for food scientists, technologists, engineers and chemists working in the whole food science field." --IFIS Publishing Review Covers all aspects of lipids and edible oils, including their nutrition and technological properties, sources and health effects From the Back Cover Lipids and Edible Oils: Properties, Processing and Applications covers the most relevant topics of lipids and edible oils, especially regarding their properties, processing and applications. Lipids and edible oils constitute an import commodity in terms of nutrition, food, trade and environmental impacts. Vegetable oils are a dietary source of lipids that constitute an essential component of a healthy diet. Over the last years, researchers have investigated lipids bioavailability, authentication as well as stability and oxidation during processing and storage, whereas the development of food and non-food applications of lipids and edible oils has attracted great interest. The book explores lipid oxidation in foods, application of lipids as nano-carriers of food bioactive compounds, as well as their bioavailability, metabolism and nutritional genomics; structured lipids intended for infant nutrition besides food processing by-products and microalgae as a source of both lipids and edible oils. Regarding edible oils, the book thoroughly explores their triacylglycerols content, biodiesel and energy production from vegetable oils, its refining and life cycle assesment. Written by a team of interdisciplinary experts that research lipids and edible oils, the book is intended to food scientists, technologists, engineers and chemists working in the whole food science field.
