In this Second Edition, Edwin Frankel has updated and extended his now well-known book Lipid Oxidation which has come to be regarded as the standard work on the subject since publication of the First Edition 7 years ago. His main objective is to develop the background necessary for a better understanding of what factors should be considered, and what methods and lipid systems should be employed, to achieve suitable evaluation and control of lipid oxidation and rancidity in complex foods, biological systems and disease states. The need to understand lipid oxidation is greater than ever with the increased interest in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, the reformulation of oils to avoid hydrogenation and trans fatty acids, and the enormous attention given to natural phenolic antioxidants, including flavonoids and other phytochemicals.

The contents include chapters dealing with:

Free radical oxidation
Hydroperoxide formation
Photooxidation of unsaturated fats
Hydroperoxide decomposition
Methods to determine extent of oxidation
Research methods
Stability methods
Control of oxidation
Antioxidants
Oxidation in multiphase systems
Foods
Frying fats
Biological systems
Glossary and List of Abbreviations
