High Oleic Oils (eBook)

High Oleic Oils: Development, Properties and Uses is the first complete reference to address practical applications for this new and dynamic category of fats and oils that are essentially replacing partially hydrogenated oils in various food and nonfood uses. As a category, high oleic oils are highly stable, but like other fats and oils, there are differences in the composition and applications of the various types of high oleic oils. Their compositions allow for the production of a range of frying oils, increased shelf-life foods, functional shortenings and hard fats, and even industrial products not easily produced with nonhigh oleic oils. Information and know-how on these applications and advantages has been in high demand and short supply until now.
Based on extensive commercial experience, seminars and presentations, Editor Frank Flider has identified common customer questions, needs and concerns about high oleic oils, and addresses them in this single comprehensive volume outlining development, composition, and utilization of high oleic oils. Through the individual expertise of a highly qualified team of contributing authors, this book outlines the development, composition, and utilization of these oils, making it of value to a wide range of readers, including the research and development industry and academic researchers.

• Details the development and technology behind today's high oleic crops and oils as well as the history and background of many naturally occurring oleic oils
• Describes high oleic oils' nutritional and compositional advantages over PHOs and lower oleic oils
• Presents unbiased, noncommercial, science-based, and objective insights, deliberately balanced to represent high oleic oil varieties equally
• Addresses transgenic insights as well as new state-of-the-art and future development technologies
