Fruit Oils: Chemistry and Functionality presents a comprehensive
overview of recent advances in the chemistry and functionality of
lipid bioactive phytochemicals found in fruit oils. The chapters in
this text examine the composition, physicochemical characteristics
and organoleptic attributes of each of the major fruit oils. The
nutritional quality, oxidative stability, and potential food and
non-foodapplications of these oils are also extensively covered.
The potential health benefits of the bioactive lipids found in
these fruit oils are also a focus of this text. For each oil
presented, the levels of omega-9, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids
are specified, indicating the level of health-promoting traits
exhibited in each. The oils and fats extracted from fruits
generally differ from one another both in terms of their major and
minor bioactive constituents. The methods used to extract oils and
fats as well as the processing techniques such as refining,
bleaching and deodorization affect their major and minor
constituents. In addition, different post-processing treatments of
fruit oils and fats may alert or degrade important bioactive
constituents. Treatments such as heating, frying, cooking and
storage and major constituents such as sterols and tocols are
extensively covered in this text. Although there have been
reference works published on the composition and biological
properties of lipids from oilseeds, there is currently no book
focused on the composition and functionality of fruit oils. Fruit
Oils: Chemistry and Functionality aims to fill this gap for
researchers, presenting a detailed overview of the chemical makeup
and functionality of all the important fruit oils.
