Bioactive Lipids

Bioactive Lipids presents the bioactive lipids topic from a functional food development perspective. In order to understand health-related lipids and how such bioactive compounds can be used in the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals, this book explores the potential of dietary lipids from a health perspective and their possible incorporation into different food matrices, along with the current challenges and their possible corresponding solutions. This book provides a direct line of information to the reader regarding bioactive lipids from a nutraceuticals and functional foods development perspective. Included case studies enable readers to understand the potential of several dietary lipids and the possibilities regarding their incorporation into several food matrices. Written for researchers, lecturers and students from the food science and technology and nutrition fields, Bioactive Lipids is sure to be a welcomed reference. Reviews the health benefits of several lipids and possible dietary sources, providing bioactive targets for therapeutical purposesProvides readers with the necessary tools for the development of new lines of research or supporting their on-going investigation with solutions for the existing challengesIncludes case studies to present solutions for bioactive lipids incorporation into food matrices, and consequently to functional foods and nutraceuticals development
