Food manufacturers must often modify lipid components or ingredients in food to achieve the right balance of physical, chemical and nutritional properties.

Part one reviews vegetable, animal, marine and microbial sources of lipids and their structure. The second part of the book discusses the range of techniques for modifying lipids such as hydrogenation, fractionation and interesterification.
