This book was written as a basic reference textbook for students in the schools of hotel, restaurant, and institutional management. It is also designed to be a reference and further study guide for cooks, chefs, dietitians, and foodservice management personnel who are already employed in this important industry. There are many texts available that thoroughly cover, in great depth, the chemistry and technical aspects of fats and oils. However, the author is not aware of any text devoted exclusively to fats and oils for foodservice. Therefore, this book is designed to provide just enough technical background to allow an under standing of how and why certain types of fats and oils work for specific uses in foodservice. This leads to practical applications and standards for the various types of products available for such uses as deep frying, griddling, pan frying, salad dressing, and baking. Tested quantity recipes are included as a further guide to product usage and menu expansion. This book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the chemistry and general technical background for fats and oils. Part II covers the major practical applications in foodservice, along with recipes. In Part III, nutrition, dietary considerations, product and recipe Qevelopment techniques, and sanitary and quality control procedures are considered. Fats and oils playa very important role in all foodservice operations. This book will provide the information necessary for a good understanding of these products and how they should be used.

The Codex Alimentarius is a collection of international standards for all the principal foods, whether processed, semi-processed or raw, including provisions regarding food hygiene, nutritional quality, food additives, pesticide residues and labelling issues. This volume contains all the Codex Standards and the Code of Practice adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in regard to fats and oils. It takes into account those texts adopted at the 24th session of the Commission in July 2001.

Standard Methods for the analysis of Oils, Fats and Derivatives Sixth Edition, Part 1 (Sections I and II) describes the methods of analysis, which have been adopted and edited by the Commission on Oils, Fats and Derivatives. This book is composed of two sections. The first section deals with the presentation of standard methods and procedure for oleaginous seeds and fruits analysis of oil, fats, and their derivatives. The next section describes the determination procedure of physico-chemical properties of determined oil, fats, and derivatives. Such characteristics include density, refractive index, color, dilatation, acid, ester, iodine value, and moisture and volatile matter content This book will prove useful to analytical chemists and researchers in the allied fields.

Fully revised and updated, Processing Contaminants in Edible Oils, 2nd edition, presents the latest research on monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and glycidyl esters in edible oils. These potentially harmful contaminants are formed during the industrial processing of food oils during deodorization. A number of advancements in understanding these have been made since the publication of the first edition. These important changes, which impact industrial mitigation, analytical methods, toxicology and regulation, are highlighted for up-to-date reference. The mechanisms of formation for MCPD and glycidyl ester contaminants, as well as research identifying possible precursor molecules are reviewed, as are strategies which have been used successfully to decrease the concentrations of these contaminants. From the removal of precursor molecules before processing, modifications of deodorization protocol, to approaches for the removal of these contaminants after the completion of processing, methods of mitigating and eliminating contaminants are presented. - Include a new chapter on methods for MCPD and glycidyl esters in food - Details the mechanisms of formation for these contaminants and research identifying possible precursor molecules - Presents successful strategies to decrease the concentrations of these contaminants in edible oils - Includes analytical strategies for accurate detection and quantitation of the contaminants along with their toxicological properties
