This book will provide technical information on sources, production and applications for those who produce these lipids and those who seek to incorporate them into appropriate foods. The chapter authors are chosen from companies, universities and institutes around the world. Professor Gunstone's team of 20 authors from 10 countries provide an excellent review of the most important lipids used in making functional foods and nutraceuticals. This book will become the standard source worldwide for information on lipids in these exciting food products and supplements.
