Description

Foods can be considered "functional" if they contain bioactive molecules that reduce the risk of disease or act positively to promote good health.  The active ingredients in these functional foods and neutraceuticals often include lipids, which are essentiial components in the diet.  Frank Gunstone and his team of international contributors have produced an essential gude for those people who produce lipids and those who seek to incorporate them into appropriate food products.The first chapter in the book goes over the development of functional foods.  Subsequent chapters explore carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, omega-3 oils, diacylglycerols, structured lipids, sesame oil, rice bran oil and oils or preparations that contain various types of acids.
