Lipid analysis and lipidomics: new techniques and applications

New methods for the analysis of edible oils, fats, and cellular lipids have recently been developed, presented at scientific meetings, and published in peer-reviewed journals. These methods apply to biological and food matrices, edible oils and fats, as well as cellular fats of pathogenic bacteria and spores, and will cover many research applications in lipidomics, food analysis, food safety, food security, and counter-terrorism. This text offers the lipid analyst essential analytical tools in the fields of chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, and chemometrics. It also serves as a reference for recent developments in the rapidly evolving field of lipid methodologies.
