This extensively revised third edition of the industry standard. The Lipid Handbook, reflects many of the changes in lipid science and technology that have occurred in the last ten years and beyond. Based on the updated thinking and practice of modern lipid science, all chapters have been rewritten, many by new authors, bringing a fresh perspective to twenty years of tradition.
