Infos

Our dietary intake comprises three macronutrients (protein,
carbohydrate and lipid) and a large but unknown number of
micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc). Good health
rests, in part, on an adequate and balanced supply of these
components. This book is concerned with the major sources of lipids
and the micronutrients that they contain.

Now in an extensively updated second edition, the volume
provides a source of concentrated and accessible information on the
composition, properties and food applications of the vegetable oils
commonly used in the food industry. Chapters are devoted to each
type of oil, and an introductory chapter by the Editor provides an
overview of the current production and trade picture globally. The
book includes coverage of the modifications of these oils that are
commercially available by means of partial hydrogenation,
fractionation and seed breeding. The major food applications are
linked, wherever possible, to the composition and properties of the
oils.

This new edition widens the range of oils covered,
addresses issues related to trans fats reduction, and new
composition data is included throughout. The book is an essential
resource for food scientists and technologists who use vegetable
oils in food processing; chemists and technologists working in oils
and fats processing; and analytical chemists and quality assurance
personnel.

Praise for the first edition:

"This excellent book consists of 337 pages in 11 chapters,
written by 13 experts from six countries...the important vegetable
oils are dealt with in great detail. With obesity on all out
lips...this book also rightly defends itself and its content -
namely, that all vegetable oils, when used correctly and of course
in moderation, are indeed necessary to all of us."

-Food & Beverage Reporter

"Overall, the book covers all of the major oils which the
potential reader is likely to approach it for... covers a wide
range of topics from production, through composition to nutritional
aspects... The volume is well indexed, particularly for the
individual subject oils, and it is easy to find specific topics
within its chapters."

-Food Science and Technology

"This latest book edited by Professor Gunstone belongs to the
kind of books where the reader rapidly knows it will bring him a
wealth of updated information concentrated in one book. The goal to
'serve as a rich source of data' on the thirteen major oils and
their important minor components has been attained. There is a need
for books of such quality."

-European Journal of Lipid Science and
Technology
