Fatty acids have traditionally been described as artery clogging species that is detrimental to overall health. The most prevalent fatty acid is palmitic acid (PA), a sixteen carbon chain fatty acid that is ubiquitous in biological systems. PA is prevalent in most eukaryotic cell membranes and in the mitochondria derived from the Krebs' cycle utilizing acetyl-coenzyme A as its precursor. PA is found in a variety of plants with a high amounts in coconut oil. Many cosmetics, shampoos, and commercialized beauty products contain PA providing structure and substance to the gel or reagent.

Advances in oleogel development, characterization, and nutritional aspects is the result of a collaborative work by top experts in the field of oleogel and related areas, who have brought together the knowledge gained in two decades of work on the design, development, understanding, and application of oleogels and oleogel-based systems in a comprehensive and easy-to-read book. Oleogels have been primarily investigated as ingredients to reduce saturated fats and eliminate trans fats in food products. The versatility of these lipid materials has expanded their potential applications beyond their initial scope, generating a growing interest in both academic and industrial communities. This interest has driven the development of the oleogel field exponentially, resulting in a growing body of scientific literature and patents. This book covers a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the basic understanding of these lipid-based materials to their practical application in real food products, highlighting the latest breakthroughs in the field. It comprises in-depth descriptions of both canonical and most advanced and recent techniques for the physical, chemical, digestive and physiological characterization of oleogels, as well as some regulatory and industrial considerations relevant to their production. This multifaceted approach brings new tools, standpoints, and perspectives for understanding and applying oleogels, empowering current and new generations of scientists, students, and professionals who are approaching this topic for the first time, or who already have some experience, to become experts in this field. .

Fatty acids are considered as a very important category of chemical compounds to human health as well as from an industrial perspective. This book intends to provide an update on fatty acid research, their methods of detection, quantification, and related diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Cyclic fatty acids are also covered, along with short chain fatty acids, which are important to the human gut microbiota. Fatty acids are important in the chemical structure of the cell membrane and its pivotal role in this aspect is reviewed herein. The book also contains a chapter that deals with some unpublished molecular aspects concerning the roles of fatty acids in depression and bipolar disorder. All in all, the book provides a brief overview of both highly explored as well as overlooked perspectives of fatty acids, while highlighting its significance as a biochemical molecule, which is imperative to the livelihood of unicellular and multi-cellular organisms alike.
