Abstract
Similar to water-in-oleogel emulsions, glycerol-in-oleogel emulsions may be of food value and can also be used as carriers for neither hydrophilic nor lipophilic substances (e.g. resveratrol, etc.). Meanwhile, it is not clear that whether the natural wax can facilitate the formation of such non-aqueous emulsions. This study approached the influence of different concentrations of rice bran wax (RBW) on the physical properties and stability of resveratrol-loaded glycerol-in-oleogel emulsions. The results displayed that the utilization of higher levels of RBW could result in the formation of emulsions with larger droplet sizes, more elastic behaviours, better thermal stabilities, and more needle-like β’ crystals formed in the outer continuous phase. Moreover, a higher retention of resveratrol and a lower oxidation rate were observed for the emulsions prepared with higher levels of RBW, indicating the emulsions containing higher quantities of RBW could possess better storage and oxidative stability. These findings allowed the better understanding of the concentration-dependent properties of oleogel-based non-aqueous emulsions, which might have great potential applications in food industry.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.
A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
