利用初榨大豆毛油制备β-谷甾醇油脂凝胶

利用初榨大豆毛油中天然磷脂,通过添加β-谷甾醇,使其与天然磷脂形成复合凝胶剂制备油脂凝胶,研究β-谷甾醇添加量对油脂凝胶硬度、热力学性质、固体脂肪含量（solid fat content,SFC）、凝胶晶型和微观结构的影响。结果表明：在20 ℃条件下,油脂凝胶中β-谷甾醇添加量不小于12%时,即可出现凝胶行为。油脂凝胶的硬度和SFC都随着β-谷甾醇添加量的增加而增加,且在不同贮藏温度下硬度变化显著。β-谷甾醇添加量对热力学特性影响较大,熔化结晶均为单峰。油脂凝胶主要为β型晶体,晶体为长针状并均匀分布,随β-谷甾醇添加量的增多,油脂凝胶晶体密度增大,尺寸变小,形成的三维网状结构更加紧密,截留植物油的能力不断提高,表明β-谷甾醇可以与初榨大豆毛油中的天然磷脂结合形成油脂凝胶,该油脂凝胶中无反式脂肪酸,富含天然营养成分,具有适宜油脂凝胶硬度及良好的结构稳定性等优势。

Structure and thermal properties of β-sitosterol-beeswax-sunflower oleogels

Oleogels of β-sitosterol (Sit) and beeswax (BW) were combined at varying ratios (w/w) and added to sunflower oil (SFO) at concentrations of 10 g per 100 g and 20 g per 100 g oil to prepare oleogels (Sit/BW/SFO). Structural and thermal properties were characterised and results showed that the hardness and enthalpy of oleogels were affected by the amount of β-sitosterol and beeswax in the oleogelator combination (Sit/BW, w/w). Oleogels with beeswax as the only oleogelator (Sit0/BW10) had the highest hardness and maximum enthalpy change. Gel network form was influenced by the crystalline behaviour of the oleogelator, and Sit0/BW10-oleogel was densely packed, spherical and white while Sit10/BW0-oleogel displayed a needle shape. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the oleogel width of the crystals and D-spacing increased with increasing amounts of β-sitosterol and the FTIR spectra revealed that oleogels formed via non-covalent bonding and may be stabilised with physical entanglements.     

Characterization of Hazelnut Oil Oleogels Prepared with Sunflower and Carnauba Waxes

In this study, hazelnut oil oleogels prepared with sunflower wax and carnauba wax were analyzed and compared with a commercial shortening. Oil binding capacities of sunflower wax oleogels were higher than 99%, while carnauba wax had a maximum value of 97.6% for 10% addition level. At 3% addition level of carnauba wax, no gel developed. The crystal formation time of sunflower wax was shorter. Although the highest (8.5%) solid fat content was observed in the 10% carnauba wax containing oleogel (HC10) sample, it was 30.4% in the commercial shortening sample at 20°C. The peak melting temperature of commercial shortening was 52.3°C, and among all organogels, sunflower wax oleogel at 3% addition level had the closest value (58.4°C). The melting enthalpies of the oleogels ranged from 4.3 to 20.3 J/g, while it was 10.9 J/g for the commercial shortening sample. The firmness and stickiness values in the oleogel samples were lower than that of commercial shortening sample. On the other hand, there was no significant change of firmness and stickiness during storage, indicating good stability (p ≤ 0.001). Especially the sunflower wax oleogels were very homogenous and smooth in structure. The polarized light microscopy pictures revealed needle-like crystals for sunflower wax and aggregate-like crystals for carnauba wax oleogels. The x-ray diffraction measurements of the crystals showed the β´ types of the polymorphic structures. Furthermore, the oleogels were very stable against oxidation during the storage period. Hazelnut oil organogels prepared with sunflower wax can be good source material for shortening or margarine-like products.     

Development of Formulations and Processes to Incorporate Wax Oleogels in Ice Cream

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of emulsifiers, waxes, fat concentration, and processing conditions on the application of wax oleogel to replace solid fat content and create optimal fat structure in ice cream. Ice creams with 10% or 15% fat were formulated with rice bran wax (RBW), candelilla wax (CDW), or carnauba wax (CBW) oleogels, containing 10% wax and 90% high‐oleic sunflower oil. The ice creams were produced using batch or continuous freezing processes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryo‐scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the microstructure of ice cream and the ultrastructure of oleogel droplets in ice cream mixes. Among the wax oleogels, RBW oleogel had the ability to form and sustain structure in 15% fat ice creams when glycerol monooleate (GMO) was used as the emulsifier. TEM images revealed that the high degree of fat structuring observed in GMO samples was associated with the RBW crystal morphology within the fat droplet, which was characterized by the growth of crystals at the outer edge of the droplet. Continuous freezing improved fat structuring compared to batch freezing. RBW oleogels established better structure compared to CDW or CBW oleogels. These results demonstrate that RBW oleogel has the potential to develop fat structure in ice cream in the presence of GMO and sufficiently high concentrations of oleogel.     

Physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of oleogels made of carnauba wax with canola oil or beeswax with grapeseed oil

Two types of oleogels—made of carnauba wax with canola oil or beeswax with grapeseed oil—were prepared at concentrations from 0 to 15% (w/w) of wax. Physical characterization was done and oxidative stability of the oleogels were evaluated. As the proportion of wax increased from 5 to 15%, the enthalpy of crystallization and melting increased in both oleogels. The carnauba wax-based oleogel (CWO) required greater enthalpy than the beeswax-based oleogel (BWO). Differences in L*, a*, and b* values between control oils and the oleogels significantly decreased as the concentration of wax increased in the oleogels (5–15%; p<0.05). Oil-binding capacity of the BWO was higher than that of the CWO. Solid-fat content of the CWO did not change significantly from 10 to 60oC, whereas that of the BWO decreased. In general, oxidative stability of the CWO was better at 60 and 180oC heat treatment in comparison with control oils (p<0.05). However, the BWO did not provide high oxidative stability than the control oils.
