Bioactive compound-loaded food-grade bigels: (I) Characterization and study of colorimetry and 3d-printing capability
The aim of this study was to develop bigels based on agar hydrogel and carnauba wax oleogel as carriers of natural chlorophylls for the printing of functional matrices. Four hydrogel/oleogel (HG/OG) concentrations were proposed (80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80). Natural chlorophyll extracts from Arthrospira platensis and Scenedesmus obliquus were selected due to their distinct chlorophyll profiles. All bigels exhibited good structural stability. Confocal microscopy analysis confirmed that increasing the HG/OG ratio led to a phase inversion from O/W to W/O bigels. FTIR results indicated that all bigels were formed through physical interactions between the OG and HG phases. Rheological analyses revealed dominant solid-like behavior (G′ > G″) and pronounced shear-thinning in all formulations, allowing successful extrusion. Increasing oleogel content resulted in a decrease in G′, G″, and viscosity values, affecting the rigidity and flow properties of the systems. Nevertheless, all bigels were suitable for 3D printing, although formulations with up to 60 % oleogel showed better shape fidelity, surface quality, and reproducibility. The coloration of the bigels showed good stability, particularly at higher oleogel ratios and under refrigeration, as indicated by low ΔE∗ values and minimal changes during storage. Additionally, chlorophylls from the S. obliquus extract maintained a more stable hue over time when incorporated into the bigels. This study reinforces the potential of bigels as effective carriers of bioactive compounds, particularly natural chlorophylls, and supports their application in 3D food printing of functional, structured matrices.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
