Crystallization Behavior and Physical Properties of Monoglycerides-Based Oleogels as Function of Oleogelator Concentration

Oleogels have been shown as a promising replacer of hydrogenated vegetable oil. Fatty acid glycerides, including some typical mono- and di-glycerides, were used to form oleogels. The concentration effects of fatty acid glycerides on the crystallization behavior and physical properties of oleogels we...

description Oleogels have been shown as a promising replacer of hydrogenated vegetable oil. Fatty acid glycerides, including some typical mono- and di-glycerides, were used to form oleogels. The concentration effects of fatty acid glycerides on the crystallization behavior and physical properties of oleogels were investigated by using different analysis techniques. The results showed that all the oleogels formed by saturated fatty acid glycerides (glyceryl monostearate (GMS), glyceryl monolaurate (GML), glycerol monocaprylate (GMC)) exhibited a solid-like behavior and were thermally reversible systems, while a higher amount of unsaturated fatty acid glycerides (monoolein (GMO), diolein (GDO)) were needed to form oleogels. The onset gelation concentration of GMS and GMC was found to be 2 wt% (w/w), while that of GML was 4 wt% by the inverted tube method. The crystallization results illustrated that the GMS and GMC formed small needle-like crystals with the presence of β and β′ crystals, while GML formed large flake-like crystals with α crystals in oleogels, and faster cooling rates caused smaller crystals. GMS- and GMC-based oleogels had higher crystallinity, resulting in higher thermal stability and better mechanical properties than GML-based ones at the same monoglyceride (MAG) level. With the increasing MAG content, the oleogels showed a more compact three-dimensional network leading to higher mechanical properties and better thermal stability and resistance to deformations. Hence, MAG-based oleogels, especially GMC ones with medium chain fatty acid, could be a promising replacer for hydrogenation vegetable oils.
