Abstract

This chapter focuses on the bioactive components of specialty oils and lipids. Omega-3 fatty acids, γ-linolenic acid, phytosterols, squalene, and tocopherols are discussed in detail. For each, the theory and evidence of the health benefits are described, and their measured quantities in naturally occurring sources are reviewed. This chapter also discusses the effect that methods of oil extraction and refining may have on the quantities and integrity of these components. Methodologies for the recovery and isolation of these valuable compounds are also covered.
