Food Lipids: Sources, Health Implications, and Future Trends presents specific and updated details related to human health and emerging technologies to obtain valuable lipids and lipid analysis of food products. The book covers the most relevant topics of food lipids as main sources (animal, marine and vegetable) and their composition, the implication of different lipids in human health, the main degradative processes and analytical methods for quality. Written for nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists and chemical engineers, R&D managers, new product developers, and other professionals working in the food industry and academia, including students, this book is sure to be a welcomed reference.

Lipids are vital for human nutrition as they provide energy to the biological processes of the body and contain substances with high importance as essential fatty acids or fat-soluble vitamins. Furthermore, lipids are responsible for many desirable characteristics of foods. However, in recent years consumers are increasingly aware of the diet-health relationship, especially the implication that some lipids exert in the development of different diseases.

Provides clear information on obtaining, characterizing and applying lipids in several food products Offers strategies to apply new emerging technologies to the recovery of valuable lipids from food by-products, the use of innovative techniques of encapsulation to protect highly oxidizable lipids, and the use of this lipids to produce healthier foods Includes definitions, applications, literature reviews, recent developments, methods and end-of-chapter glossaries

The processing of pork is a common technological practice that modifies the taste, flavor, texture and color of raw pork meat. Due to pork’s accessible price and versatility, the manufacture of pork products to offer a variety of options to consumers is an important strategy of the meat industries in this sector to improve profits and expand into new markets at the local, regional and international levels. The diversity of pork products reflects the diversity and history of many local cultures around the world, as well as a growing interest in preserving traditional processing practices. Pork: Meat Quality and Processed Meat Products delves into the various kinds of pork and the methods used to prepare it for consumption, including fresh meat products, fermented sausages, dry-cured products, blood sausages and cooked sausages. Each category starts with a specific raw material (entire cut vs. minced pork meat) to which is added a unique combination of ingredients (e.g., sodium chloride, starter cultures, blood, seasoning and spices). The method of processing (such as salting, drying, thermal processing and fermenting) takes consumer tastes and storage needs into account, as well as how each product will be consumed (cooked, sliced, spread and as an ingredient in other dishes, for instance). Consequently, a wide range of products made from pork are currently being produced worldwide. Added to this is the increasing importance of ingredients and health factors to consumers; the resulting demand for products that address specific health concerns is having a significant impact on research into and the production of pork meat products. Key Features: Comprehensively presents and discusses the wealth of information about pork products Includes specific details about the processing, quality of final products and innovation in the industry Presents innovative, health-oriented approaches to making traditional and commercial pork products Discusses healthier pork meat products that address consumer trends and government recommendationsThe production of health-oriented pork products is an emerging and promising investigation area with a direct impact on the currect market for meat products.

Natural Antioxidants to Enhance the Shelf-Life of Food, Volume Two in the Developments in Food Quality and Safety series is the most up-to-date resource covering trending topics such as the analysis of toxic compounds and control of food poisoning, food fraud, traceability and authenticity, revalorization of agrifood industry, and natural antimicrobial compounds and their applications to improve the preservation of food, non-thermal processing technologies, nanotechnology in food production, and intelligent packaging and sensors for food applications. The book focuses on recent advances and strategies to use these compounds in the preservation of food.Chapters explore advances in antioxidant activity analysis, electrochemical methods, food oxidative stability, and natural antioxidants from agro-industrial by-products. Natural antioxidants from marine sources and innovations in antioxidants films and coatings are also covered. The series is edited by Dr. Jos� Manuel Lorenzo and authored by a team of global experts in the fields of Food Quality and Safety, providing comprehensive knowledge to food industry personals and scientists.

Provides latest information on the use of natural antioxidants to enhance the food shelf-lifeCovers a wide variety of sources and compounds that naturally exert antioxidant activityThoroughly explains the natural compounds' application in foods or their incorporation into packaging
