More About This Textbook
Overview
LIPIDAT is a convenient compilation of thermodynamic data and bibliographic information on lipids. Over 11,000 records in 15 information fields are provided. The book presents tabulations of all known mesomorphic and polymorphic phase transition types, temperatures, and enthalpies for synthetic and biologically derived lipids in dry, partially hydrated, and fully hydrated states. It also includes the effect of pH, protein, drugs, salt, and metal ion concentration on these thermodynamic values. Methods used in making the measurements and the experimental conditions are reported. Bibliographic information includes a complete literature reference and list of authors. The book will be an indispensable reference for biophysicists, chemical engineers, pharmaceutical and cosmetic researchers, dermatologists, nutritionists, biochemists, physiologists, food scientists, and fats and oils chemists.
This book contains black-and-white illustrations.
Editorial Reviews
Doody's Review Service
Reviewer: C. Harry Arsenis, PhD (Scholl Chicago Foot Health Centers)Description: This is an extended table of known mesomorphic and polymorphic phase transition types, temperature, and enthalpy changes for synthetic and biologically derived lipids in the dry and in the partially and fully hydrated states. Also included are the effects of pH, salt, and metal concentration on the previous thermodynamic values with lipids and various additives.
Purpose: The book represents an effort to compile the pertinent data mentioned above. The compiled data will enable the reader to identify potential deficits in the available data and reveal fundamental physiochemical principles on which lipid phase behavior is based and understand more completely lipid phase relations in biological reinstituted and formulated systems.
Audience: This compilation of the data provides immediate access to the available data for those experts in the field needing such information. The book is not intended as a source of information for the unspecialized, but it is a valuable source of information for the specialist.
Features: The book is underillustrated with only black-and-white illustrations. An introductory, heavily illustrated section with a brief explanation of the basics would have been helpful. The compilation of data is only until 1990. By the time the book is in circulation, the data will be almost four years old. Although the table of contents and index are adequate, there is a lack of artistry in the construction of the tables that reduces the overall appearance of the book, making it look like a telephone book. The book is undoubtedly unique.
Assessment: The general idea of a book such as this is good because it provides an accessible source for much needed information on lipids. I noticed a striking exclusion of information for certain kinds of lipids. Researchers in academia and industry could use this book, but it is not a book for general reference.
