This study aimed to produce oleogels based on non-germinated and germinated wheat starches with orange essential oil, apply them to replace hydrogenated vegetable fat in bread, and assess the antifungal action. The oleogels were prepared using sunflower oil, wheat starches, beeswax, water, and orange essential oil (OEO). They were evaluated to determine the volatile compounds, oil binding capacity, texture profile, storage stability for 20 days, thermogravimetric analysis, and functional groups.

The aerogels were produced using germinated wheat starch (GWS), with and without PEO, and incorporating grape skin extract (GSE) at concentrations of 5 and 10 % (w/w). The GSE was evaluated for total and individual phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity.

The objective of this study was to generate and characterize physically cross-linked aerogels by using germinated and non-germinated wheat starch, with and without the addition of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO). Aerogels were produced by gelatinization of starch (10% w/v, in distilled water) at 90 °C, followed by multiple freeze/thaw cycles. For the aerogel produced using starch and PEO, a solution of 6% PEO (0.
