Physical and oxidative stability of babassu (Orbignya phalerata mart) oil in water nanoemulsions: Effect of oil and guar gum concentrations.

Babassu oil (BO) was used in the production of oil in water (O/W) nanoemulsions in order to evaluate the potential application of an alternative source of vegetable oil in the composition of colloidal systems. The proportion of oil phase (10, 20 and 30 % w/w) and guar gum (GG) concentrations (0, 0.10, 0.

Technical-functional and surface properties of white common bean proteins (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): Effect of pH, protein concentration, and guar gum presence.

Legumes are abundant sources of proteins, and white common bean proteins play an important role in air-water interface properties. This study aims to investigate the technical-functional properties of white common bean protein isolate (BPI) as a function of pH, protein concentration, and guar gum (GG) presence. BPI physicochemical properties were analyzed in terms of solubility, zeta potential, and mean particle diameter at pH ranging from 2 to 9, in addition to water-holding capacity (WHC), oil-holding capacity (OHC), and thermogravimetric analysis.

Baru oil (Dipteryx alata vog.) applied in the formation of O/W nanoemulsions: A study of physical-chemical, rheological and interfacial properties.

The oil extracted from baru (Dipteryx alata Vog.) seeds is in bioactive compounds and it presents potential to be used in food and cosmetic industries. Therefore, this study aims to provide insights into the stability of baru oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions.

Microstructural and rheological behavior of buffalo milk chocolates.

The development of products with buffalo milk has increased due to its peculiar characteristics, such as taste and high content of total solids, which has attracted consumers and the food industry.In this context, the objective was to develop and evaluate the microstructural properties of chocolates with different concentrations of buffalo milk powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) through polymorphism, microscopy and rheological studies. For the polymorphism, the X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) was performed, while the crystal morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Kinetic stability of the oil-in-water emulsions and dynamic interfacial properties of mixtures of sucrose esters and polysaccharides.

This article presents a study of the interfacial properties of oil-in-water emulsions containing sugar esters and polysaccharides. Sucrose fatty acid esters were synthesized using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B. A yield of 53.

Ovalbumin and guar gum foam and its surface properties as influenced by sucrose and sorbitol.

The surface properties and foaming of ovalbumin and guar gum aqueous solutions was investigated in the presence of sucrose or sorbitol. All solutions had a broad particle size distribution (395.60 at 1137.

Balanced incomplete block design: an alternative for data collection in the optimized descriptive profile.

The optimized descriptive profile (ODP) is a new descriptive methodology which proposes an optimized sample evaluation by no trained assessors. To permit that assessors with a low degree of training quantitatively evaluate samples consistently, this method proposes the presentation of reference materials ("weak" and "strong") together with all set of samples at the time of evaluation. The attribute-by-attribute protocol is recommended on the ODP technique to allow for comparison among the samples and avoid fatigue, since only one attribute is evaluated at a time.
