Abstract
Oleosomes, naturally occurring in plants, mammals, and microorganisms, are highly valued in both food and non-food industries due to their unique composition, inherent emulsifying properties, and straightforward extraction processes. Despite advancements in twin-screw pressing and ultrasound-assisted methods, this review emphasizes the need to systematically explore aqueous-based method—including aqueous, aqueous enzymatic, salt-solution extraction, and alkali-solution extraction method—that have been underrepresented. For the first time, it highlights how factors such as polyphenols, polysaccharides, pH, temperature, and ionic conditions influence oleosome stability and digestion, which are critical for lipid release, absorption, and nutritional improvement—key aspects aligned with the development of functional foods. This review examines oleosome composition, extraction methods, and factors influencing their stability and digestibility, highlighting their broad application potential.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
