Edible oils : extraction, processing, and applications

Description

This book presents a wealth of knowledge about advanced processing techniques of edible oils. Such innovation includes the introduction of green recovery techniques substituting heavy use of petroleum solvents, which typically simplify manipulation and work-up, use less solvent and energy, and eventually give higher purity of the final product and reduce wastewater treatment costs. In addition, such important factors influencing the edible oil industry such as new product developments, patents, and global market changes are debated.
