Vegetable Oils in Food Technology

Beschreibung

Our dietary intake comprises three macronutrients (protein,carbohydrate and lipid) and a large but unknown number ofmicronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc). Good healthrests, in part, on an adequate and balanced supply of thesecomponents. This book is concerned with the major sources of lipidsand the micronutrients that they contain. Now in an extensively updated second edition, the volumeprovides a source of concentrated and accessible information on thecomposition, properties and food applications of the vegetable oilscommonly used in the food industry. Chapters are devoted to eachtype of oil, and an introductory chapter by the Editor provides anoverview of the current production and trade picture globally. Thebook includes coverage of the modifications of these oils that arecommercially available by means of partial hydrogenation,fractionation and seed breeding. The major food applications arelinked, wherever possible, to the composition and properties of theoils. This new edition widens the range of oils covered,addresses issues related to trans fats reduction, and newcomposition data is included throughout. The book is an essentialresource for food scientists and technologists who use vegetableoils in food processing; chemists and technologists working in oilsand fats processing; and analytical chemists and quality assurancepersonnel. Praise for the first edition: "This excellent book consists of 337 pages in 11 chapters,written by 13 experts from six countries...the important vegetableoils are dealt with in great detail. With obesity on all outlips...this book also rightly defends itself and its content -namely, that all vegetable oils, when used correctly and of coursein moderation, are indeed necessary to all of us." -Food & Beverage Reporter "Overall, the book covers all of the major oils which thepotential reader is likely to approach it for... covers a widerange of topics from production, through composition to nutritionalaspects... The volume is well indexed, particularly for theindividual subject oils, and it is easy to find specific topicswithin its chapters." -Food Science and Technology "This latest book edited by Professor Gunstone belongs to thekind of books where the reader rapidly knows it will bring him awealth of updated information concentrated in one book. The goal to'serve as a rich source of data' on the thirteen major oils andtheir important minor components has been attained. There is a needfor books of such quality." -European Journal of Lipid Science andTechnology
