Sectors
Many of the most nutritionally and commercially important food supplements and nutriceuticals, from omega-3 oils to antioxidants, are lipids.
An understanding of fats, oils and other skin lipids is crucial to the treatment of skin disorders and the development of safe and effective cosmetics, moisturisers and other skin care products.
In the food and drink sector, lipids in the form of oils and fats have a pivotal effect on the taste, stability, mouthfeel and nutritional content of an enormous range of products.
Lipids are also used as fuels, lubricants, insulators for the electricity industry and raw materials for producing biodegradable materials.
