Edible oils and fats are derived from plants and animals and have several health benefits. Edible oils and fats consist of many health-promoting bioactive compounds such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, flavonoids, phytosterols, vitamins, and inorganic compounds. The chemical compounds present in edible oils and fats are known for their possible health risks such as coronary heart disease and metabolic diseases, which is why there is a need to check the quality, purity, and safety of edible oils and fats. Bioactive Compounds of Edible Oils & Fats: Health Benefits, Risks, and Analysis provides an overview of different edible oils and fats, health benefits, associated risks, and analytical techniques for qualitative and quantitative guidelines for ensuring their quality and safety using modern analytical tools and techniques. This book will provide an important guideline for controlling quality, safety, and efficacy issues related to edible oils and fats.Key Features: Provides a detailed overview of different edible oils and fats of plant and animal origin, chemistry, and identification methods. Describes their health benefits, risks, and the use of different analytical techniques in quality control. Describes the applicability of sophisticated analytical techniques such as GC-FID, GC-MS, and HPLC for quality control of edible oils and fats. Emphasizes the use of recent techniques such as LC-MS and FTIR-chemometrics in the analysis and quality control of edible oils and fats.
