Influence of Minor Oil Components on Sunflower, Rice Bran, Candelilla, and Beeswax Oleogels

Abstract The impact of the solvent composition on wax oleogels is addressed by (1) increasing polar components (PC) in sunflower and canola oil through thermal treatment (2) removing minor from untreated oils column chromatography. Subsequently, are produced at 0.05 10 °C min −1 using 4% or 10% w/w either sunflower, rice bran, candelilla, beeswax. Oleogels firmness, break‐up behavior during amplitude sweeps, gelation dissolution studied penetration tests, rheology, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. Moreover, crystal morphology samples, gelled , bright field microscopy. Distinct effects caused presence absence PCs characteristics mentioned above observed, depending type. formation highly ordered structures favored without low cooling rates. Data gel reveal a decrease solubility PCs. In contrast, critical concentration (CGC) decreases when present, independent their concentration, indicating that aid network formation. oscillatory stress significantly different, leading to more fragments higher energy dissipation with strain. Practical applications : It found composition, particular, fatty acid TAGs dissolved components, profoundly affect oleogel properties. Although not all mechanisms these changes can be unraveled within this study, fundamental understanding composition's role formation, dissolution, properties vital light product applications. trustworthy comparable research only achieved if considered experiments. That way, capability for industrial might maximized. For that, detailed characterization quality, particularly required conduct reliable scientific work research.
