This basic reference provides comprehensive and detailed coverage of food oils and fats in a practical, how-to format. The book integrates all aspects of food oils and fats from chemistry to food processing to nutrition. Three in-depth sections discuss sources; physical and chemical properties, and processing; manufacturing techniques such as deep frying, griddling, and baking; products such as salad dressings, butter, and dairy product substitutes; the latest analytical and sensory evaluation techniques; flavor control, and nutrition. The book features the latest information on flavor measurement and alteration, product development and cost-effective use of oils and fats in production.

This book acknowledges the importance of fats and oils and surveys today's state-of-the-art technology. To pursue food technology without knowing the raw material would mean working in a vacuum. This book describes the raw materials predominantly employed and the spectrum of processes used today. It is the updated and revised English version of Nahrungsfette und Ole, originally printed in German. It contains 283 tables, 647+ figures, and over 850 references.
Refining of Oils and Fats for Edible Purposes, Second Revised Edition details the processes and treatments of crude (plant- and animal-based) oils and fats to render them fit for human consumption. The book is composed of five chapters. The first two chapters provide the methods in refining fat-insoluble and fat-soluble impurities. The third chapter presents techniques to minimize the shrinkage of crude fat and oils entering the process and increase production output. Chapter 4 considers refinery plant design based on the kinds of fats to be processed, kinds of processes to be implemented and projected output. The last chapter presents statistical data of oil and fat consumption from selected countries. Industrial engineers, production managers, chemists, plant designers, and students will find the book a good source of information.
A fundamental understanding of the physical properties of fats, oils, and emulsifiers is essential to help the food processing industry meet consumer needs for quality foods with improved nutritional properties at a minimal cost. Food scientists, product development technologists, and food processors will be interested in this overview of both the fundamentals of fat crystallization and the application of those fundamental principles of food systems. This book was developed from papers that were presented at the conference on "The Physical Properties of Fats, Oils, and Emulsifiers with Application to Foods".
This book was written as a basic reference textbook for students in the schools of hotel, restaurant, and institutional management. It is also designed to be a reference and further study guide for cooks, chefs, dietitians, and foodservice management personnel who are already employed in this important industry. There are many texts available that thoroughly cover, in great depth, the chemistry and technical aspects of fats and oils. However, the author is not aware of any text devoted exclusively to fats and oils for foodservice. Therefore, this book is designed to provide just enough technical background to allow an under standing of how and why certain types of fats and oils work for spec...
Oils and fats are almost ubiquitous in food processing – whether naturally occurring in foods or added as ingredients for functional benefits and, despite the impression given by several sources to the contrary, they remain an essential part of the human diet. However, it is increasingly apparent that both the quantity and the quality of the fat consumed are vital to achieving a balanced diet. Health concerns regarding high-fat diets continue to have a high profile, and still represent a pressing issue for food manufacturers. This volume provides a concise and easy-to-use reference on the nature of oils and fats for those working in the food industry and for those in the media seeking to a...
Specialty Oils and Fats in Food and Nutrition: Properties, Processing and Applications examines the main specialty oils and fats currently in use in food processing, as well as those with significant potential. Specialty oils and fats have an increasing number of applications in the food industry, due to growing consumer interest in "clean label functional foods and the emerging markets in "free-from and specialist foods. Part One of this book covers the properties and processing of specialty oils and fats, with a focus on the chemistry, extraction, and quality of different fats and oils, including chapters on shea butter, tropical exotic oils, and structured triglycerides. Part Two looks at...
