Structural and rheological properties of medium-chain triacylglyceride oleogels

This research studied the effect of gelator molecules on structural properties of oleogels containing medium-chain triacylglycerides (MCTs). To this aim, a large selection of gelators (rapeseed wax RAW, rice wax RW, sunflower wax SW, beeswax BW, monoglycerides MG, and \u3b3-oryzanol and \u3b2-sitosterol mixture \u3b3+\u3b2) at increasing concentrations (5\u201315% w/w) was considered. Results showed that RAW was not able to structure MCT at any concentration. However, addition of 5% (w/w) of MG, SW and BW resulted to a self-standing gel. Regarding \u3b3+\u3b2 and RW, gel structures were generated at 10% (w/w). By increasing the concentration, a reinforcement of the network strength was highlighted by the progressive increase of the rheological parameters. The strongest oleogel obtained by \u3b3+\u3b2 at 10% (w/w) and further BW and RW at 15% (w/w) concentration. These findings could provide interesting information in the choice of the best performing MCT structuring agent for intended food applications

Im Archivportal NRW wurde das Findbuch Dep. 82 des Stadtarchiv Grevens, ein Sammelbestand zur Mechanischen Baumwollweberei J. Schründer Söhne Greven, veröffentlicht. Das Findbuchvorwort liefert die Hintergründe, wie es zu dieser Bestandsbildung kam. Die Firma J. Schründer Söhne existierte von 1888 bis 1990. Ihr 1927 vom Industriearchitekten Philipp Jakob Manz gebauter, markanter mehrgeschossiger Spinnereineubau wurde zu Anfang dieses Jahrhunderts zu einem Wohngebäude umfunktioniert, existiert..
