Addresses critical topics in the expanding market and production for lipids.
Combines novel and traditional methods from technological and biological perspectives
to achieve the most effective pathways for production of modified lipids.
Structured and Modified Lipids is clearly organized into three sections exploring
development, new production methods,
and successful products and uses.
Structured and Modified Lipids
- examines why new structured lipids and lipid sources are required
- details quality assurance procedures for lipid modification and protection methods
- investigates ways of extending the use of specialty vegetable oils containing gamma-linolenic acid and stearidonic acid, vegetable oils with modified fatty acid composition, and minor and specialty oils
reviews the nutritional and physicochemical properties of milk fat
- spotlights cocoa butter and its substitutes, spreads, and infant formulas
- evaluates optimal fatty acid intake through manufactured foods and the use of fat-like substances such as olestra
- and more
