RESUMEN
Cellulose-derived edible vegetable oleogels can replace saturated/trans fats. The gelation mechanism relies on non-covalent interactions between gel components, influenced by their structure, concentration, and nature of the gelling factors. On the premise of preparing methyl cellulose (MC) with different viscosity, the effects of different gelling agents, MC, gelatin and oil concentration on the structure, physicochemical properties, oil binding capacity (OBC) and texture of emulsion and oleogels were studied. The oleogels were used as a lard substitute to study the effect on the texture, structure and sensory properties of the prepared ham sausage. We found that MC3 with gelatin had superior emulsification properties, inhibiting particle size and aggregation. Raising MC3 and gelatin concentrations to 1.5 wt% and 0.5 wt% led to oleogels with high OBC (>95 %), stability, and viscosity. The oleogels exhibited a dense structure and high mechanical strength with significantly enhanced structural hardness (199.55 g and 226.44 g). Higher oil concentration stabilized the emulsion but reduced oleogels stability after freeze-drying due to saturated oil absorption. The ratio of oleogels replacing lard was closely related to the texture of ham sausage. The texture properties of the ham sausage with 50 % lard replacement were closest to those of the control group.
RESUMEN
The study aimed to inhibit the stimulating impact of garlic oil (GO) on the stomach and attain high release in the intestine during digestion. So, wheat porous starch (WPS) was modified with octenyl succinic acid (OSA) and malic acid (MA) to obtain esterified WPS, OWPS and MWPS, respectively. The differences in physicochemical, encapsulation, and digestive properties of two GO microcapsules, WPI/OWPS/GO and WPI/MWPS/GO microcapsules produced by using OWPS and MWPS as variant carrier materials and whey protein isolate (WPI) as the same coating agent, were compared. The results found that OWPS had greater amphiphilicity, while MWPS had better hydrophobicity and anti-digestive ability than WPS. Encapsulation efficiency of WPI/OWPS/GO (94.67 %) was significantly greater than WPI/MWPS/GO (91.44 %). The digestion inhibition and low GO release (approximately 23 %) of WPI/OWPS/GO and WPI/MWPS/GO microcapsules in the gastric phase resulted from the protective effect of WPI combined with the good adsorption and lipophilicity of OWPS and MWPS. Especially, WPI/OWPS/GO microcapsule was relatively stable in the gastric phase and had sufficient GO release (67.24 %) in the intestinal phase, which was significantly higher than WPI/MWPS/GO microcapsule (56.03 %), benefiting from the adsorption and digestive properties of OWPS, and resulting in a total cumulative GO release rate of 90.86 %.
