Obesity has become an epidemic of global proportions and is predicted to become the
leading cause of death in many countries in the near future. As a result, weight
control has become increasingly important for many consumers. Edited by a leading
academic in the field, this important collection reviews research into the
production and use of specific ingredients which can help to control body weight.

Part 1 discusses ingredients implicated in the development of obesity such as sugars
and lipids and the body's response to hunger and satiety. The second part of the
book reviews particular ingredients derived from grains, fruit and vegetables, which
can assist weight control. Chapters cover β-glucans, oligosaccharides, starch
and carbohydrates. Part 3 details dairy-based ingredients which can help regulate
weight. It covers the use of food constituents such as calcium, conjugated linoleic
acid (CLA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and trans-free oils and fats.
