		In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the health effects of dietary trans unsaturated fatty acid isomers, especially those formed during commercial hydrogenation processes. In this book, authors who are recognized international authorities in their fields have reviewed the occurrence, consumption, analysis, biochemistry and health effects of the different types of trans fatty acids giving us an up-to-date and realistic picture of the topic. Also included is a review of the metabolism of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a class of natural trans fatty acids which apparently has many beneficial effects.

The chapters include:

Occurrence and distribution profiles of trans-18:1 acids in edible fats of natural origin
Trans fatty acids and the potential for less in technical products
Consumption of trans fatty acids
Analysis of trans fatty acids
Biochemistry of trans monoenoic fatty acids
Biochemistry of trans polyunsaturated fatty acids
Lipoprotein metabolism and trans fatty acids
Epidemiological of trans fatty acids and coronary heart disease
Occurrence, chemistry and nutrition of conjugated linoleic acid
Appendix: Natural trans fatty acids.
