Oils and fats are almost ubiquitous in food
processing – whether naturally occurring in foods or added as
ingredients for functional
benefits and, despite the impression given by several sources to the
contrary, they remain an essential part of the human diet. However, it
is increasingly apparent that both the quantity and the quality of the
fat consumed are vital to achieving a balanced diet.
Health concerns regarding high-fat diets continue to have a high
profile, and still represent a pressing issue for food manufacturers.
This volume provides a concise and easy-to-use reference on the nature of oils and fats for those working
in the food industry and for those in the media seeking to advise the
public on consumption. Written in a style that makes the concepts and
information contained easily accessible, and using a minimum of chemical
structures, the nature and composition of the constituents of oils and
fats are explained. The major sources of food lipids (vegetable and
animal fats) are outlined, along with their physical characteristics.
The book also focuses on the current main concerns of the food industry
regarding oils and fats use, including: the nutritional properties of
fats and oils and their various components; links between chemical
structure and physiological properties; and the role of lipids in some
of the more important disease conditions such as obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and cancer. The final chapter is devoted to a description of the most common food uses of oils and fats.
The book will be of interest to food industry
professionals, students or others who require a working knowledge of
oils and fats in the food industry.
