Designer oils: the high oleic acid soybean

  • Chapter
Genetic Modification in the Food Industry

Abstract

Over the past three decades, there has been increasing consumer awareness of the health issues related to diet. Of all the nutrients in the modern diet, none has caused more concern to both consumers and nutritionists than dietary fat (Wiseman, 1992). This concern has arisen from the association between certain types of fat in the diet and a number of human diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.
