    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Future Fat Alternatives: Concepts, Structuring and Food Applications provides a deep dive into the strategies for the development of fat alternatives for food applications, covering all structuring strategies including oleogels, emulsion gels, and foamed gels as well as cell-cultured fats. In addition, this book details other applications such as additive manufacturing and fat alternatives in different food applications and discusses their nutritional benefits. Divided into eight sections, this book begins with an overview of the structural-properties relationship in traditional fats, then segues into the benefits and challenges of fat alternatives, the prospects and challenges of cell-cultured fats, the additive manufacturing of fat analogues and how they pave the way toward novel food development. The applications of different fat alternatives and their nutritional benefits in bakery, meat, chocolate, and cheese products as well as nutraceutical delivery systems are also discussed.

    This book presents an excellent resource for researchers working across the food sciences in the fields of oil and fat production, research and development, sensory analysis, and technology and engineering.


    • Discusses different methods and techniques to make healthier fat alternatives
