The physical properties associated with the saturated and trans
fats obtained through partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils
(PHVOs) provide the solid fat content, melting and textural
properties that consumers require in food products like butter,
margarines, vegetable creams, spreads, and confectionary fats.
However, saturated and trans fats increase low density lipoprotein,
while trans fats also lower high-density lipoprotein serum levels.
These indicators increase the risk of developing cardiovascular
disease, type II diabetes, stroke, and have recently been
associated with metabolic syndrome. Consequently, regulatory
agencies worldwide have passed legislation restricting the addition
of PHVOs and their derivatives (i.e., shortenings) to food
products. This has lead research groups worldwide to investigate
different mechanisms to provide structural and physical properties
to edible, healthy unsaturated oils. The overall objective is to
achieve similar functional properties to those provided by PHVOs
and shortenings to food products. This book encompasses the work of
leading researchers discussing, from a scientific and technological
perspective, the latest and most innovative approaches to structure
edible oils without the use of trans fats. Additionally, the
authors discuss practical uses and technical limitations associated
with the use of "structured edible oils" in different food systems.
Appealing to researchers and professionals working in lipid
science, food chemistry and fat metabolism, it fills the gap in the
literature for a book in this fast-changing field.
