Description

The Chemistry and Technology of Edible Oils and Fats and their High Fat Products covers the theoretical and practical aspects associated with the chemistry and technology of oils and fats. The book discusses the chemistry of edible fats; vegetable-oil separation technology; and water- and heat-promoted fat separation from animal and plant "fatty tissues". The text also describes the refining process; the fat-modification processes; and the production of edible-fat products of high fat content. The technologies applied to speciality fats; the storage and transport of oils and fats; and energy demands of the oil-milling and edible-fat processing operations. People involved in the processing of edible oils and fats will find the book useful.
