Carotenoid Esters in Foods: Physical, Chemical and Biological Properties (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781788012423)

Carotenoids are found in some food plants, flowers and animals, in free form and also esterified with fatty acids. Recent research has concentrated on the extent of carotenoid esters in these sources, how to measure their presence and the amount available for potential health effects. Focusing on the occurrence and assembly in foods, biosynthesis, analytical methods for identification and quantification, dietary intake and metabolism, the most recent research is represented and a balanced overview of what is known about carotenoid esters is provided. This book is a must have source for researchers in food science, nutrition and the food industry.
