Synopsis

Cold Pressed Oils: Green Technology, Bioactive Compounds, Functionality, and Applications creates a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on recent advances in chemistry and the functionality of bioactive phytochemicals in lipids found in cold pressed oils. Chapters explore different cold pressed oil, focusing on cold press extraction and processing, composition, physicochemical characteristics, organoleptic attributes, nutritional quality, oxidative stability, food applications, and functional and health-promoting traits. Edited by a team of experts, the book brings a diversity of developments in food science to scientists, chemists, nutritionists, and students in nutrition, lipids chemistry and technology, agricultural science, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and many other fields.

• Thoroughly explores novel and functional applications of cold pressed oils
• Shows the difference between bioactive compounds in cold pressed oils and oils extracted with other traditional methods
• Elucidates the stability of cold pressed oils in comparison with oils extracted using other traditional methods

From the Back Cover

Oils and fats obtained from seeds, herbs, spices, medicinal plants, vegetables, fruits, and agricultural by-products are of great economic importance, and the need for widely-usable bioactive lipids and natural antioxidants continues to grow. However, conventional methods to extract and process oils, such as solvent extraction, refining, bleaching, and deodorization, can alter the functional properties and stability of their phytonutrients, produce hazardous waste products, and impose major health concerns in human diets. Cold pressing is a technique that offers a safe, non-hazardous method for oils extraction and processing in which the main bioactive constituents are preserved through the omission of heat, chemical treatments, and refining processes.
