This crude material finds uses in its own right but can be purified through a series of processes which eventually lead to individual phospholipid classes such as phosphatidylcholines.It is widely accepted that oil and water do not mix but there are several areas in science and technology where these two distinct phases must coexist in stable emulsions. This is achieved by admixture of amphiphilic molecules of which the phospholipids are important natural examples. Today, phospholipids find many uses in the food industry and in other industries which exploit the amphiphilic nature of these compounds. Further, there are now important procedures by which their amphiphilicity can be optimized for different uses.The early chapters in this book are devoted to the more common glycerol-based phospholipids and cover their structure, source, composition, modification by chemical and enzymatic methods, their physical, chemical, and nutritional properties, and their major uses. The final chapter is devoted to another kind of phospholipid, the sphingolipids, in which there is a growing interest.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChemical structure and biological function\u003cbr\u003e Major sources, composition and processing\u003cbr\u003e Enzymatic modification of phospholipids and related polar lipids\u003cbr\u003e Uses of phospholipids as functional ingredients\u003cbr\u003e Physical properties of phospholipids\u003cbr\u003e Chemical modification\u003cbr\u003e Clinical and nutritional properties of phospholipids\u003cbr\u003e Sphingolipids.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Food \u0026amp; beverage technology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Food \u0026amp; beverage technology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Food%20\u0026amp;%20beverage%20technology%20%5BTDCT%5D%22\"\u003eTDCT\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Oily Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651634483480,"sku":"9780955251221","price":98.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780955251221_65cf5b03-9f6d-4482-9463-2c23655acc38.jpg?v=1696781765","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/phospholipid-technology-and-applications-hardback-9780955251221","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
