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.
