Beta-carotene-loaded Oleogels: Morphological analysis, cytotoxicity assessment,...
Martins, Artur J.; Perdigão, Lara; Gonçalves, Catarina; Amado, Isabel R.; Abreu, Cristiano S.; Vicente, A. A.; Cunha, Rosiane L.; Pastrana, Lorenzo M.Composition and structure of oleogels significantly influence their digestive behaviour, impacting triacylglycerol breakdown and the bioavailability of incorporated compounds. Texture profile analysis showed that sterol-based oleogels (STOs) exhibited 20 times higher hardness than beeswax-based oleogels (BWOs), which showed stronger cohesion due to elasticity sustained by adhesive forces. Tribological assessmen...
β-carotene and resveratrol loaded glycerol monostearate-based oleogels: Physico...
Barroso, Noádia G.; Martins, Artur J.; Júnior, Fernando D. O.; Okuro, Paula K.; Pereira, Rui C.; Vicente, A. A.; Pastrana, Lorenzo M.; Cunha, Rosiane L.Oleogels are semi-solid systems that can function both as replacers of trans and saturated fats and/or as carriers of lipophilic bioactive compounds. However, bioactive compounds can affect the structure of the oleogel matrix and this effect depends on the properties of such compounds. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop oleogels loaded with -carotene (BC) or resveratrol (R), with low concentrations...
Measurements of bimodal droplet size distribution of emulsions using ultrasonic...
Silva, Carlos A.M.; Saraiva, Samuel V.; Bonetti, Darlan; Higuti, Ricardo T. [UNESP]; Cunha, Rosiane L.; Pereira, Luiz O.V.; Silva, Flavio V.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:47:36Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-04-28; Ultrasonic spectroscopy has a great potential to measure the particle sizes in suspensions and emulsions of many industrial sectors. However, one significant challenge is measuring particle sizes in a broader range and concentrated systems due to the lack of theoretical models covering large particle wa...
Gelation behavior and the stability of multicomponent sterol-based oleogels
Martins, Artur J.; Cerqueira, Fátima; Vicente, A. A.; Cunha, Rosiane L.; Pastrana, Lorenzo M.; Cerqueira, Miguel A.Novel fat mimetic materials, such as oleogels, are advancing the personalization of healthier food products and can be developed from low molecular weight compounds such as γ oryzanol and β-sitosterol. Following molecular assembly, the formation of a tubular system ensues, which seems to be influenced by elements such as the oleogelators’ concentration and ratio, cooling rates, and storage periods. Sterol-based...
Oleogels and bigels as alternatives to saturated fats: A review on their applic...
Silva, Pedro Miguel Peixoto; Cerqueira, Miguel Ângelo Parente Ribeiro; Martins, Artur J.; Fasolin, Luiz Henrique; Cunha, Rosiane L.; Vicente, A. A.The nutritional quality of processed foods is being increasingly questioned by consumers and the trend toward diets that promote health and well-being has thus grown significantly. With this in mind, food science has sought to develop products replacing ingredients that can be harmful to consumers. This is not an easy task because, besides health- and well-being-related issues (e.g., nutritional and eventual nu...
Application of acoustic models for polydisperse emulsion characterization using...
Silva, Carlos A. M.; Saraiva, Samuel; Bonetti, Darlan; Higuti, Ricardo T. [UNESP]; Cunha, Rosiane L.; Pereira, Luiz O.; Silva, Flavio; Fileti, Ana M. F.Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-10T17:40:55Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-10-05; Petrobras; ANP; Ultrasonic spectroscopy is a technique that often has been used for measuring the particle size distribution in suspensions and emulsions. The ability to analyze concentrated heterogeneous systems and optically opaque samples, without the need for dilution, is the major advantage over al...
Characterization of enriched meat-based pâté manufactured with oleogels as fat ...
Martins, Artur J.; Lorenzo, José M.; Franco, Daniel; Pateiro, Mirian; Domínguez, Rubén; Munekata, Paulo E. S.; Pastrana, Lorenzo M.; Vicente, A. A.Nowadays, one of the strongest factors affecting consumers choice at the moment of purchasing food products is their nutritional features. The population is increasingly aware of the diethealth relationship and they are opting for a healthy lifestyle. Concerns with the increasing number of heart-related diseases, which are associated to the consumption of fats, are placing the functional food market in a releva...
Self-organizing structures of phosphatidylcholine in nonaqueous solvents: tailo...
Okuro, Paula K.; Malfatti-Gasperini, Antonio A.; Fasolin, Luiz Henrique; Vicente, A. A.; Cunha, Rosiane L.In this paper, we investigated the role played by solvent type and additives (water [W] and citric acid [CA]) on the self-assembly of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) into gels. Soybean lecithin (L) served as the PtdCho source used in this study. Lecithin was combined with different oils: hexadecane (HEX), sunflower oil, and medium-chain triacylglycerol to explore its ability to form organogels. Among the solvents,...
Perspective on oleogelator mixtures, structure design and behaviour towards dig...
Okuro, Paula K.; Martins, Artur J.; Vicente, A. A.; Cunha, Rosiane L.The concepts of either multi-component supramolecular gels or structures derived from oleogels have not yet been fully investigated to their respective potentials. The study of hybrid structures might cover technological points such as (i) how to vehiculate hydrosoluble and/or liposoluble bioactive components simultaneously? (ii) How could the framework of an oleogel contribute to a specific structure design st...
