More Description
Food Lipids: Sources, Health Implications, and Future Trends presents specific and updated details related to human health and emerging technologies to obtain valuable lipids and lipid analysis of food products. The book covers the most relevant topics of food lipids as main sources (animal, marine and vegetable) and their composition, the implication of different lipids in human health, the main degradative processes and analytical methods for quality. Written for nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists and chemical engineers, R&D managers, new product developers, and other professionals working in the food industry and academia, including students, this book is sure to be a welcomed reference.
Lipids are vital for human nutrition as they provide energy to the biological processes of the body and contain substances with high importance as essential fatty acids or fat-soluble vitamins. Furthermore, lipids are responsible for many desirable characteristics of foods. However, in recent years consumers are increasingly aware of the diet-health relationship, especially the implication that some lipids exert in the development of different diseases.
- Provides clear information on obtaining, characterizing and applying lipids in several food products
- Offers strategies to apply new emerging technologies to the recovery of valuable lipids from food by-products, the use of innovative techniques of encapsulation to protect highly oxidizable lipids, and the use of this lipids to produce healthier foods
- Includes definitions, applications, literature reviews, recent developments, methods and end-of-chapter glossaries
