Lipids: Structure, Physical Properties and Functionality (Oily Press Lipid Library Series No.19) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In Lipids: Structure, physical properties and functionality, Professors Kare Larsson, Peter Quinn, Kiyotaka Sato and Fredrik Tiberg have provided an up-to-date description of the diversity of lipid molecular arrangements in different physical states as a basis for the understanding of lipid functionality in biological and technical systems. This new and up-to-date book replaces Kåre Larsson s popular book Lipids: Molecular Organization, Physical Functions and Technical Applications published by The Oily Press in 1994.
Contents: Basic concepts; Solid-state behaviour of polymorphic fats and fatty acids; Liquid- crystalline lipidwater phases; The liquid state; Lipids at the air-water interface - monolayers and multilayers in surface films, bubbles and foams; Dispersions of lipid-water phases; Interaction of lipids with proteins and polypeptides; Emulsions; Lipids of biological membranes; Lipid barriers at the environment-body interface; Drug delivery; Foods.
