A well-known method for reducing or swapping out undesirable and controversial fats in food is oleogelation. To quantify the effects of droplets-particle inclusion on the textural aspects of gelled systems, a thorough understanding of rheological behavior of oleogels (OGs) is necessary. Otherwise stated, a rational grasp of rheological characterization is essential for food development, optimization, and processing (when touching or putting food into the mouth, rheological flow qualities influence our perception).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLipid-based foam systems (LBFs) have grown in popularity recently because of their effectiveness and potential uses. As a result, in order to stabilize them, considerable work has been put into developing more biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials. However, the use of natural stabilizing agents has been constrained due to a lack of thorough knowledge of them.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA subtype of soft solid-like substances are emulsion gels (emulgels; EGs). These composite material's structures either consist of a network of aggregated emulsion droplets or a polymeric gel matrix that contains emulsion droplets. The product's rheological signature can be used to determine how effective it is for a specific application.

The subsequent crosslinking of proteins by citric acid or CaCl resulted in the formation of cold-set hydrogels. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) proposed formation of more hydrogen bonds in gel due to NLC loading or citric acid-mediated gelation.
