Synopsis

Phospholipid Technology and Applications should be of special value to technologists developing food and cosmetics products, scientists researching phospholipids in biological and food systems, technologists in fats and oils refining, and scientists developing drugs and drug delivery systems and carriers. Today, phospholipids find many uses in the food industry and in other industries which exploit the amphiphilic nature of these compounds. The early chapters in this book are devoted to the more common glycerol-based phospholipids, while the final chapter is devoted to another kind of phospholipid, the sphingolipids, in which there is a growing interest.

Contents: Chemical structure and biological function; Major sources, composition and processing; Enzymatic modification of phospholipids and related polar lipids; Uses of phospholipids as functional ingredients; Physical properties of phospholipids; Chemical modification; Clinical and nutritional properties of phospholipids; Sphingolipids.
