Phospholipid technology and applications is an essential reference
for technologists developing food and cosmetics products,
scientists researching phospholipids in biological and food
systems, technologists in fats and oils refining, and scientists
developing drugs and drug delivery systems and carriers.
The major source of phospholipids is the lecithin recovered during
degumming of vegetable oils, particularly soybean oil. This crude
material finds uses in its own right but can be purified through a
series of processes which eventually lead to individual
phospholipid classes such as phosphatidylcholines.
It is widely accepted that oil and water do not mix but there are
several areas in science and technology where these two distinct
phases must coexist in stable emulsions. This is achieved by
admixture of amphiphilic molecules of which the phospholipids are
important natural examples. Today, phospholipids find many uses in
the food industry and in other industries which exploit the
amphiphilic nature of these compounds. Further, there are now
important procedures by which their amphiphilicity can be optimized
for different uses.
The early chapters in this book are devoted to the more common
glycerol-based phospholipids and cover their structure, source,
composition, modification by chemical and enzymatic methods, their
physical, chemical, and nutritional properties, and their major
uses. The final chapter is devoted to another kind of phospholipid,
the sphingolipids, in which there is a growing interest.
