Opis

This book discusses differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), one of the main thermo-analytical techniques, and its main applications in the field of lipid technology. The authors also describe other thermal and physical techniques frequently coupled with DSC the related applications. The book is divided into three parts covering the main applications of DSC on different lipid sources as well as some more theoretical aspects of the technique.

Spis treści

Recent and New Perspectives from DSC Application on Vegetable Oils and Fats. Application of DSC in Oil and Fats Technology: Coupling with Other Thermal and Physical Approaches. DSC in Food Technology: Palm Products, Lipid Modification, Emulsion Stability.
