What is Long-Chain Omega-3 Specialty Oils (Oily Press Lipid Library Series) about?

Although often thought of as "fish oils", these omega-3 oils are also available from microbial fermentation and from other marine organisms such as krill. There is increasing interest in the development of higher plants with the ability to synthesize long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, with the ultimate objective of creating crop plants yielding oils containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Unlike the many other books on omega-3 fatty acids, Long-Chain Omega-3 Specialty Oils is not concerned with nutrition, but instead focuses on the development and manufacture of long-chain omega-3 oils and on the long-chain acids (C20 chain length and above), rather than alpha-linolenic acid.
