Influence of oil type on formation, structure, thermal, and physical properties of monoglyceride-based organogel
文摘
This research studied the possible relation between oil properties and structure and physical properties of saturated monoglyceride (MG)-based organogels. To this aim different oils (castor, cod liver, corn, extra virgin olive, flax-seed, peanut and sunflower oil, and mixture of medium chain triacylglycerols (MCT)) were used to prepare organogels by adding 10% w/w of monoglycerides. The fatty acid composition, viscosity, and dielectric properties of oils were measured. Then, organogels were characterized for crystallization induction time, dielectric properties, firmness, rheological behavior, thermal properties, crystal morphology by polarized light microscopy, and crystal polymorphism by synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.
