Bioactive Phytochemicals from Vegetable Oil and Oilseed Processing By-products

Abstract

Traditional edible oil mills are complicated plants processing fruits or seeds to high-quality vegetable oils and fats with functional traits. Almost all biowastes and by-products from edible oil and oilseed processing are utilized. However, most of the ingredients and active phytochemicals in the biowaste from edible oil and oilseed processing are used only in low-price applications (i.e., animal feeding). Recently, there has been a global consumer’s interest in the health-enhancing impacts of agricultural by-products. Focusing on the relation between age-associated diseases and the health-enhancing impacts of the active phytochemicals in the biowaste from edible oil and oilseed processing, the authors of this book contribute the functional traits of active phytoconstituents from edible oil and oilseed industrial biowastes that might be responsible for health-enhancing impacts. This handbook describes the state-of-the-art health-enhancing benefits of phytoconstituents from vegetable oil and oilseed processing by-products, the characterization of active chemicals in edible oil, and oilseed industrial biowastes with a particular interest in antioxidants to develop novel food and nonfood kinds of stuff. As a consequence of the outcomes of this scientific book: (1) the health-enhancing impacts and applications of phytoconstituents from edible oil and oilseed production biowastes will be discussed, (2) the consumer will understand the health-enhancing impacts of phytoconstituents from edible oil and oilseed production biowastes supported by scientific evidence, (3) the chapters review the recovery methods and unique techniques to develop novel applications from phytoconstituents from edible oil and oilseed production biowastes, and (4) the economy will be enriched by the integration of active chemicals from edible oil and oilseed processing biowastes to industrial applications (novel food items, pharmaceuticals, livestock, and cosmetics).
