Bioactive Lipids

Bioactive Lipids presents the topic of bioactive lipids from a functional food development perspective. This book explores the potential of dietary lipids to understand how such bioactive compounds can be used in the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals.�The book�includes case studies to enable readers to understand the potential of several dietary lipids and the possibilities regarding their incorporation into several food matrices. Bioactive Lipids will be a welcome reference for researchers, lecturers and students from the food science and nutrition fields.

• Reviews the health benefits of several lipids and dietary sources, providing bioactive targets for therapeutic purposes
• Provides readers with tools for the development of new lines of research and for supporting ongoing investigations
• Includes case studies to present solutions for bioactive lipids incorporation into food matrices, and consequently to functional foods and nutraceuticals development
