They are carriers of aroma and flavor compounds and contribute to structure and texture. Nutritional research has shown that positive effects on human health are derived from the intake of specific lipids. Similarly, food science research has shown that food matrix design benefits from having tailored lipid fractions with specific functions such as melting profiles, crystal structures, and oil-binding capacities. Minor constituents such as polar lipids or waxes also have valuable functional properties such as the ability to stabilize interfaces, facilitate spreadability, provide barriers, or act as organogelators. Coupled with the emergence of new feedstocks such as new plants, microbes, or insects, this has fueled a renewed interest in designing efficient, effective, and environmentally friendly processes to extract and fractionate lipids from feedstocks. Such precision-processing approaches are intended to yield not just bulk oils and fats but also specialty lipids with tailored properties. In this review article, we discuss the extraction and fractionation approaches used to obtain lipid fractions from plants, animals, or microbial fermentation, discuss their properties and functionalities, and highlight process design approaches, with a focus on sustainable extraction technologies. Recent advances in the three main steps in obtaining food lipids are highlighted: (<i>a</i>) crude oil manufacture; (<i>b</i>) refinement; and (<i>c</i>) fractionization.

There is growing interest in creating plant-based foods as alternatives to address current demands, especially to tailor consumer preferences.

These gels can be formulated entirely from plant-derived lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, and/or other ingredients to form complex fluids that belong to the category of soft matter. This review summarizes the most recent advances in the areas of formation, structuring, properties, and applications of plant-based emulsion gels for 3D-printed food. These semisolid materials can be extruded to the set or solidified into structures with predesigned shapes, fidelity, and sensory attributes across the senses (taste, smell, sight, and touch) along with nutrition values. Emulsion gels can be formed by either solely gelling the continuous phase or combining this process with the formation of a particle network through aggregation and close packing.

As a target of exposome factors such as environmental stressors and unhealthy lifestyle choices, as well as aging, dysregulated expression and activity of SR-B1 can negatively impact human health. Intriguingly, not only is SR-B1 a major determinant of nutrient homeostasis and, hence, metabolic health status, but these same nutrients and some phytochemicals have also demonstrated their ability to modulate SR-B1. Therefore, an integrated approach that, taking into account human health, nutrition, and food technology sciences, aims to produce foods with health-promoting effects should take advantage of the multifaceted properties of SR-B1.
