Coconut oil is eatable oil with many nutritional and cosmetic applications. In this investigation coconut oil was subjected to 0 to 5 L/min of ozone for 3 h and the chemical composition of both crude and ozonized oil was valued via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Some biological tests were done including antibacterial action versus Helicobacter pylori, anti-biofilm activity versus H.

Food Chem

December 2024

Institute of Biological Chemistry, Biophysics and Bioengineering, School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK; Dept. of Physics, Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, Canada. Electronic address:

Oleogelation was investigated to reduce the saturated fat content of vegan cheese. Oleogels were formulated using a range of oleogelators, oleogelator concentrations and oil phase compositions to study the effect that adjusting these parameters had on both oleogel and vegan cheese properties. Comparing oleogels at an equivalent mass basis of 20 wt%, phytosterol oleogels exhibited greater hardness (5.
