Rheological and thermal characterization was performed in emulsions formulated from avocado oil and sacha inchi oil structured with soy lecithin, glyceryl monostearate and shortening (palm oil). For oleogel formulations, a completely randomized factorial design was considered to study the effect of the type of emulsifier and the proportions of avocado and sacha inchi oils. The rheological results indicated pseudoplastic behavior with semisolid characteristics. Additionally, the phase change studies showed two endothermic events corresponding to melting points from-20.15 to-18.94°C and from 40.25 to 61.04°C. The formulation with a ratio of avocado oil to sacha inchi oil of 80/20 and prepared using glyceryl monostearate as an emulsifier was evaluated as the best treatment and had an increased consistency coefficient and an increased loss tangent (d \ 0.5).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
