Synergistic interactions between lecithin and fruit wax in oleogel formation
Okuro, Paula K.; Tavernier, Iris; Sintang, Mohd D. Bin; Skirtach, Andre G.; Vicente, A. A.; Dewettinck, Koen; Cunha, Rosiane L.In this study, the effect of lecithin (LEC) on the crystallization and gelation of fruit wax (FW) with sunflower oil was researched. A synergistic effect on the gel strength was observed at FW : LEC ratios of 75 : 25 and 50 : 50, compared to the corresponding single component formulations (100 : 0 and 0 : 100). Even below the critical gelling concentration (Cg) of FW, the addition of lecithin enabled gel format...
