The knowledge introduced in the book should be very useful for farmers or oilseeds processing enterprises, or scientists who are interested in developing their sustainable resources and their processing technology. They are also worthwhile as reference materials for training students intending to work with oilseeds production or processing industry. The central scope of this book is associated with the review of recent research results or developments and future tendency with respect to the chemical components, production and applications of edible oils. More than 40 species of oil seeds or raw materials have high oil content. Oils from these raw materials are edible. In addition to providing essential fatty acids and energy, all edible oils also contain fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E and carotenoids (pro-vitamin A) and other functional compounds such as sterols, phospholipids, squalene, etc. which are reviewed in this book. Some particular species of edible oils also contain unique functional compounds, which are not present in other kinds of edible oils. The worlds production of edible oils, their processing technology and their application in the food industry or other industries are also reviewed in this book. Especially, with respect to the extraction of edible oils, an advanced aqueous method recently published has achieved a high recovery rate of oils with high quality, which has a different mechanism as compared with the traditional aqueous method using large quantities of water. The de-oiled residue produced by this aqueous method can be applied to the food industry. This kind of aqueous method has the potential of knocking other methods out and becoming a classic procedure for the commercial production of edible oils in the future. The first chapter of this book is about the overview of edible oils while the following chapters review major specific edible oils that are popularly produced and consumed in the world.

Oils and fats are almost ubiquitous in food processing, whether naturally occurring in foods or added as ingredients that bring functional benefits. Whilst levels of fat intake must be controlled in order to avoid obesity and other health problems, it remains the fact that fats (along with proteins and carbohydrates) are one of the three macronutrients and therefore an essential part of a healthy diet. The ability to process oils and fats to make them acceptable as part of our food supplies is a key component in our overall knowledge of them. Without this ability, the food that we consume would be totally different, and much of the flexibility available to us as a result of the application of processing techniques would be lost. Obviously we need to know how to process fatty oils, but we also need to know how best to use them once they have been processed. This second edition of Edible Oil Processing presents a valuable overview of the technology and applications behind the subject. It covers the latest technologies which address new environmental and nutritional requirements as well as the current state of world edible oil markets. This book is intended for food scientists and technologists who use oils and fats in food formulations, as well as chemists and technologists working in edible oils and fats processing.

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.

The report first focuses on the basic details of the industry like its structure and classification and then moves ahead with the growth potential analysis. It captures the future prospects of the industry by scrutinizing demand drivers and existing growth opportunities for edible oils in India. The analysis so established is meticulously expounded and supported by graphical representation and forecasts of key indicators. The report identifies growing population, urbanization, rising incomes and health consciousness as key value drivers that will benefit the industry in the near future. It further talks, in detail, about the present as well as the future demand supply scenario of edible oils in India. India produces a very trivial quantity of edible oils out of its total estimated demand and hence is largely dependent on imports. The demand supply situation in the sector is analyzed in various lights by studying the total consumption of edible oils in the country, per capita consumption, domestic production of edible oils, production of oil seeds and imports of edible oils in India. The report also includes forecasts of the total consumption numbers with respect to changes in the per capita consumption of edible oils. Although India is the largest producer of oilseeds in the world, a lot is left to be done to ensure self-sufficiency in edible oils. It also lists the prevalent excise and customs duty rates on edible oils. The report then moves ahead to give business and financial details of incumbents in the industry which gives a fair view of the competition in the sector. It covers business profiles of companies like K.S Oils Ltd, Adani Wilmar Ltd, Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd and Marico Ltd holding brands like Fortune, Saffola, Sunrich, K S Gold etc. The next segment provides complete financial details of edible players in the country. It covers contact information like address of registered office, director’s name and financial comparison covering balance sheet, profit & loss account and several financial ratios of the players. The report ends with a promising outlook of the sector. The industry has all the triggers in place to ensure a smooth ride in future. The favorable consumer dynamics of Indian market like rising disposable incomes, escalating population, urbanization and fast growing health consciousness among Indian population has kept the industry at high pedestrian. All these factors will be the growth benefactors of edible oils in the near future. Also, although Indian per capita consumption of edible oils is on the rise, yet we still lag behind the developed nations of the world which construes as a massive opportunity for edible oil players. Changing consumer preferences towards healthy oils will fuel the growth in small niche segments which were not explored till now and will send growth ripples across the segments (laterally as well as perpendicularly). The industry being highly fragmented in nature restricts the accurate estimation of its market size. However we estimate the edible oil consumption to cross 21 million tonnes mark by 2017.
