Dec 1, 2022 · Out of various strategies aimed to reduce/replace transfats and saturated fats in foods, oleogels are reported to be an innovative structured fat system used for industrial applications due to their nutritional and environmental benefits.

Oleogelation is one of the most in-trend methods for reducing or replacing the unhealthy and controversial fats in food products. Different edible oleogels are being formulated by various techniques and used in spreads, bakeries, confectioneries, and dairy and meat products.

Oleogel is an oil painting medium made with linseed oil and pyrogenic silica. It is a clear, pale amber gel that adds transparency and a thixotropic body to oil, resin oil, or alkyd paint. Add it directly to your paint to give it transparency without thinning its consistency.

Oleogel is a relatively new technology applied as a total or partial replacement for conventional fats directly related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and inflammatory processes.

Apr 13, 2024 · Oleogels, characterized by their semisolid matrix formed from liquid oil structured by gelators, are emerging as a pivotal innovation in food formulation, primarily due to their capacity to enhance the nutritional profile of products by incorporating healthier fats.

Nov 22, 2022 · Oleogels could replace hydrogenated vegetable oils in food product, reduce the fatty acid content, and be used to prepare food products such as meat, ice-cream, chocolate, bread, and biscuits with desirable properties.

Mar 16, 2022 · Oleogel is defined as a semisolid delivery system consisting of a lipophilic liquid and a solid oleogelator mixture. Different edible oleogels can be tailored using different types of oleogelators and techniques to produce the required structural, mechanical and …

Jan 1, 2018 · Oleogel systems offer a unique chemical composition arising from the solvent nature, i.e., oil, with a controllable set of mechanical properties arising from the gelator molecule used for their production.

Oleogels are semi-solid materials containing a large fraction of liquid oil entrapped in a network of structuring molecules. In the food industry, these formulations can be used to mimic fats and to deliver bioactive compounds.

Jun 26, 2023 · Oleogels, semi-solid gel typically prepared from liquid vegetable oil and food-grade oleogelators, is developed as an alternative for solid fats that is free of trans fat and low in saturated fats.
