Opis

An exploration of new and emerging techniques, processes and applications in the behaviour, crystallization, and polymorphic transformations of fats and oils. It presents research and information on advanced analytical tools, computer modelling, molecular structures, mixing behaviour, and interactions with seeding materials and surfactants. The contributors spotlight developments in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, highlighting modern discoveries in polymorphic forms, self-assembled structures, and speciality fats and oils, emphasizing health, balanced nutrition, and functionality.
