Trans Fatty Acids 

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.
