Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Edible oils are one of the main sources of lipids in the diet, whether consumed directly, as ingredients in different food products or used in culinary practices. Currently, there is a wide variety of edible oils of vegetable and animal origins of different compositions on the market, including not only traditional oils but also those from new sources.

The compositions of edible oils, both major components (triglycerides) and minor ones (sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, etc.), have a great influence on their sensory properties, their oxidative stability and behaviour during food processing, as well as on their nutritional and health effects. In this context, it is considered of great interest to deepen the knowledge of all the above-mentioned aspects related to the quality of edible oils.
