For example, plant-based milk and cheese are visually similar to their dairy equivalent, yet they lack highly phosphorylated casein micelle calcium nanoclusters. The coevolution of the casein micelle highlights the role structure plays in digestion as chymosin preferentially cleaves κ-casein at the 105-106 phe-met bond, which destabilizes the micelle surface and curdles milk into solid cheese, altering subsequent digestive kinetics, postprandial response and satiety. Food structures designed to slow digestion and their postprandial response are reinventing ingredient isolate, emphasizing the inclusion of intact plant cells in UPFs.

The application of wax-based oleogels is limited because of their sensitivity to shear and waxy mouthfeel. This research investigates the interaction between waxes and palm stearin in hybrid fat blends. For the oleogels, 150% of the critical gelling concentration of the waxes was used, specifically 6% berry wax (BEW), 1.5% candelilla wax (CLW) and 6% carnauba wax (CRW), all incorporated in rapeseed oil. The concentration of palm stearin (PS) in the reference system (30PS) and the hybrid fat blends was 30% (PS-BEW, PS-CLW, PS-CRW). It was found that the addition of PS to the wax-based oleogels largely affected the properties on the nano- to macroscale. On the nanoscale, the polymorphic transition from α to β of palm stearin was delayed when adding BEW, while it did not change with the other waxes. On microscale, the high melting CRW acted as a seeding template for the palm stearin in PS-CRW, resulting in the formation of fat crystals that were rich in CRW in the center. For PS-BEW and PS-CLW, it was hypothesized that the fat crystals were the result of co-crystallization. All three hybrid fat blends showed improved rigidity and shear sensitivity compared to the PS reference and the wax-based oleogels on a macroscale. These results demonstrate that the interaction between palm stearin and waxes can have a positive effect on the final structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":564,"journal":{"name":"Food Biophysics","volume":"19 4","pages":"1042 - 1052"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11483-024-09869-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
