... it provides an impressive amount of excellent information on a wide range of topics... is should be in the library of every large food company and university . . . Throughout the text, each section has its own list of up-do-date and useful references immediately following the section. The text is well written with numerous references. - William E. Artz, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in Inform, November 2008, Vol. 19, No. 11 Readers will note that, rather than restrict the analysis of lipids to the somewhat narrow medicinal and cardiovascular arenas (which is what the public hears about regularly), the editors instead have deconstructed the fatty acid from its molecular state and then rebuilt it layer by layer as a means to demonstrate just how many facets of life lipid science intersects. Moreover, the information on the technologies now being employed to refine and process fats and oils is invaluable, as these industrial 'leaps' are likely to have profound impact on other areas of scientific research in the coming years ... Recommended as in-office reference for lipid researchers in both industrial and science-based realms. Further recommended to Health Science libraries as the authoritative voice in this fascinating area. -John Aiello, The Electric Review, www.electricrev.net, May 2007
