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.

Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals in Metabolic and
Non-communicable Diseases presents strategies for the prevention of
non-communicable diseases and undernutrition through the use of
functional foods and nutraceuticals. Research has shown that the
use of certain functional foods and nutraceuticals, including
spices, herbs, and millets, animal foods and plant foods can play a
role in the treatment and prevention of various diseases and in
health promotion. Finally, the book explores epigenetic modulation
as a new method for the development of functional foods and
functional farming. Intended for nutritionists, food scientists and
those working in related health science professions, this book
contributes to the discussions focused on nutritional transition,
globalization, how to administer foods in the treatment of
metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks,
neuropsychiatric disorders, bone and joint diseases, and
carcinogenesis.
High Oleic Oils: Development, Properties and Uses is the first
complete reference to address practical applications for this new
and dynamic category of fats and oils that are essentially
replacing partially hydrogenated oils in various food and nonfood
uses. As a category, high oleic oils are highly stable, but like
other fats and oils, there are differences in the composition and
applications of the various types of high oleic oils. Their
compositions allow for the production of a range of frying oils,
increased shelf-life foods, functional shortenings and hard fats,
and even industrial products not easily produced with nonhigh oleic
oils. Information and know-how on these applications and advantages
has been in high demand and short supply until now. Based on
extensive commercial experience, seminars and presentations, Editor
Frank Flider has identified common customer questions, needs and
concerns about high oleic oils, and addresses them in this single
comprehensive volume outlining development, composition, and
utilization of high oleic oils. Through the individual expertise of
a highly qualified team of contributing authors, this book outlines
the development, composition, and utilization of these oils, making
it of value to a wide range of readers, including the research and
development industry and academic researchers.
Nutrition and Functional Foods in Boosting Digestion, Metabolism
and Immune Health explores the role of appropriate nutrition and
digestive enzymes in healthy digestion. The book addresses salient
gastrointestinal features involved in healthy digestion
pathophysiology, including coverage of the enzyme-microbiome
connection and linkage, features of indigestion problems, roles of
traditional and conventional ethnic foods, structurally diverse
digestive enzymes, drugs, nutraceuticals and novel digestive
formulations. In addition, the book addresses technological
breakthroughs that have led to recent, novel discoveries and
outlines nutritional guidelines and recommendations to achieve
healthy digestion. This book is a useful resource for nutrition
researchers, nutritionists, physicians working in the field of
digestive health, pharmacists, food experts, health professionals,
nurses and general practitioners, public health officials and those
