While certain saturated and trans fats continue to face scrutiny as
health hazards, new evidence indicates that, in addition to
supplying foods with flavor and texture, fats also provide us with
dietary components that are absolutely critical to our well-being.
The importance of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins
and other minor components delivered by lipids is well known, as
are the benefits and essentiality of long-chain omega-3 and omega-6
fatty acids. And now, with new research connecting lipids to heart
health, mental health, and brain and retina development, the market
has responded by providing health-conscious consumers with lipid
foods, including spreads, breads, cereals, juices, and dairy
products. Nutraceutical and Specialty Lipids and their Co-Products
presents a thorough assessment of the current state of the
chemistry, nutrition, and health aspects of specialty fats and
oils. Fereidoon Shahidi, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Food
Lipids and a past chair and co-founder of the Nutraceuticals and
Functional Foods Division of the Institute of Food Technologists,
brings together top researchers to address the potential
application and delivery of lipids in functional foods. Sharing
much of their own research, they offer an unparalleled view of the
field that covers basic lipid chemistry, as well as the most
progressive findings concerning the nutritional value of beneficial
lipids. They include research on cereal grain, marine, fruit seed,
and tree nut oils, as well as oilseed medicinals, fat replacers,
and many other sources of lipids. They also consider stability
issues and the latest tools being used for lipids purification.
Covering the full range of these essential diet components, this
cutting-edge volume serves to meet the needs of scientists and
students in research and product development, as well as health and
nutrition specialists.
