Oils and fats are almost ubiquitous in food processing – whether naturally occurring in foods or added as ingredients for functional benefits and, despite the impression given by several sources to the contrary, they remain an essential part of the human diet. However, it is increasingly apparent that both the quantity and the quality of the fat consumed are vital to achieving a balanced diet. Health concerns regarding high-fat diets continue to have a high profile, and still represent a pressing issue for food manufacturers. This volume provides a concise and easy-to-use reference on the nature of oils and fats for those working in the food industry and for those in the media seeking to advise the public on consumption. Written in a style that makes the concepts and information contained easily accessible, and using a minimum of chemical structures, the nature and composition of the constituents of oils and fats are explained. The major sources of food lipids (vegetable and animal fats) are outlined, along with their physical characteristics. The book also focuses on the current main concerns of the food industry regarding oils and fats use, including: the nutritional properties of fats and oils and their various components; links between chemical structure and physiological properties; and the role of lipids in some of the more important disease conditions such as obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and cancer. The final chapter is devoted to a description of the most common food uses of oils and fats. The book will be of interest to food industry professionals, students or others who require a working knowledge of oils and fats in the food industry.

Comprehension of the theories of aging requires rudimentary knowledge of oxidation and reduction reactions, protein function, cell organelles, mitosis, acquired immunity, and evolution, among other basic biological concepts. Without these fundamentals, students of biological aging struggle to learn the essentials of biological aging and how to appreciate the research advances in the field. Human Biological Aging: From Macromolecules To Organ-Systems is an introduction to human aging from the level of macromolecules to organ systems. Age changes in proteins, DNA, polysaccharides and lipids are discussed relative to known age-related alterations in structure and function produced by free radicals and oxidants. At the cellular level, age-dependent mechanisms that diminish organelle function are described. Cellular phenomena of replicative senescence apoptosis, autophagy and neuroplasticity are detailed as to their contribution to compromised cellular functions. Authored by a leader in the field, Human Biological Aging: From Macromolecules To Organ-Systems is an invaluable introduction for those studying human aging.

Содержит специальную смесь из полезных жиров Lean Body Lipids: MCT, олеиновая кислота, CLA, фосфатидилсерин Способствует увеличению чистой мышечной массы Без искусственных подсластителей Без искусственных красителей Содержит Colostrim Содержит протеины продолжительного типа действия Содержит анаболические углеводы Во время разработки гейнера Goliath мы ставили перед собой цель произвести нечто экстраординарное, нечто выдающееся по природе и качеству. Мы не хотели создавать гейнер набитый мальтодекстрином и искусственными подсластителями, жертвовать качеством протеина, жиров и углеводов, а также мириться с ужасным вкусом. Попросту говоря, мы стремились создать по-настоящему мощную гейнер-формулу - Голиафа среди прочих. Гейнер Goliath основан на специальном патентованном протеиновом источнике Colostrim. Сывороточный протеин проходит специальную обработку, так что большинство полезных протеиновых фракций сохраняют всю свою биологическую ценность. Colostrim содержит необычно высокий процент протеиновых фракций с небольшими пептидами, например, лактоферрин, а также мощные факторы роста, такие как IGF-1. Colostrim в отличие от прочих протеиновых источников инициирует заметное увеличение чистой мышечной массы, в то же время препятствует отложению жира. Более того, мы добавили протеины продолжительного типа действия - мицеллярный казеин и яичный белок. Мы не удовлетворились тем, что Goliath обладает лучшей протеиновой смесью; Goliath также обладает особой смесью из полезных жиров. Мы могли бы просто добавить в формулу такие простейшие жиры, как соевое или пальмовое масло, однако ничего особо полезного из этого не получилось бы, кроме того, эти жиры имеют склонность увеличивать подкожные отложения. Напротив, Goliath содержит специальное соотношение подсолнечного масла с высоким содержанием олеинового масла, триглицеридов со средней цепью (MCT), конъюгированной линолевой кислоты (CLA) и фосфатидилсерина. Вместе эти жиры поддерживают здоровье и реально стимулируют увеличение чистой мышечной массы. Наконец, Goliath содержит смесь из анаболических углеводов, которая состоит из дегидрированного тростникового сока, палатинозы и трехалозы. Эта смесь содержит как быстрые, так и медленные углеводы, так что уровень глюкозы и инсулина будет поддерживаться стабильно в течение продолжительного периода времени. Наши углеводы обладают высокой энергетической ценностью и не откладываются в виде жира.
