“…Thus, PGPR was used to stabilize ethanol-in-oil emulsions to deliver an ethanolic extract (Duangkaew et al, 2018), to form stable micelles in glycerol to encapsulate vitamin E (Matsuoka et al, 2017), to substitute glyceryl monostearate to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles and to improve the stability and encapsulation efficiency of nanostructured lipid carrier vitamin D 3 emulsions (Seo et al, 2019), to modulate the crystallization process of mango butter (Qureshi et al, 2020), and to improve the softness and lubrication properties of fresh butter (Panchal et al, 2021), as well as to enhance the antioxidant activity of curcumin and sesamol during oil oxidation (Jokar et al, 2022;Keramat et al, 2022). Moreover, the addition of PGPR increased the partial coalescence degree in vegetable fat cream-like emulsions by enhancing the capture efficiency due to the decreased steric repulsion between fat globules, thereby improving the creaming stability (Gutiérrez Hernández et al, 2023;Rando et al, 2022). As the use of PGPR is strictly regulated, and as PGPR can cause off-tastes when used in a high concentration, it is important to minimize the concentration of PGPR in food applications (Hong et al, 2021).…”
