Monoglyceride (MG) oleogels were formulated with the aim to study the effect of MG
concentration (3, 4.5, and 6%), HIU application (20kHz, 10s on/5s off), cooling rate (0.1 and
10ºC/min), and storage temperature (5 and 25ºC) on physical properties of the materials.
Samples were placed in a crystallization cell set at different crystallization temperatures (Tc =
38, 41, and 45°C for 3, 4.5 and 6% MG samples, respectively). Samples were cooled to Tc at
0.1 and 10ºC/min and then cooled to 5 or 25ºC. Physical properties, such as oil binding capacity
(OBC), hardness (HA), elasticity (G'), microstructure, melting profile and solid fat content
(SFC), were measured after storage (24h).
A significant increment (p<0.05) in HA, OBC, and G' values were observed due to HIU
application for both cooling rates This effect was enhanced after storage at 5°C. A significant
decrease (p<0.05) in HA and OBC values was observed when samples were crystallized at the
slow cooling rate. The highest HA and OBC values were found for 6% MG sonicated samples
crystallized at 10ºC/min and stored at 5ºC, being 1.1±0.1N and 94.0±1.0%, respectively. In
general, higher cooling rate increased the elasticity of non-sonicated samples, whereas
sonicated samples exhibited a decrease in G' values when the cooling rate increased from 0.1
to 10ºC/min. HIU application reduced crystals size while melting behavior and SFC were not
affected by neither HIU nor cooling rate.
These results indicate that HIU offers a potential way to tailor the physical properties of
monoglyeride oleogels.
