| book description |

In recent years, the use of renewable raw materials and natural biopolymers has increased significantly to overcome the issues associated with environmental pollution and dwindling fossil fuel resources. Lipids and proteins are inexpensive, renewable raw materials, which are considered ideal feedstock for the development of a variety of functional materials. This book provides an international viewpoint on recent developments in the utilisation of lipids and proteins together, for the development of functional materials in food engineering, environmental and industry applications. This book presents the cutting-edge research in the utilization of lipids and proteins in food, cosmetics, therapeutics, food packaging, water remediation, biofuels, lubricants, biomaterials, and composite preparations. Researchers, scientists, engineers and students working on lipids and proteins derived materials will benefit from this book, which is highly application oriented. Focusing on the latest developments in the field, this will be the first book to describe lipids and proteins together, allowing it to act as a single reference for researchers working in this area.
