“…However, in concentrated emulsions, aggregation Food Research International xxx (2015) xxx-xxx results in the formation of a three-dimensional network of fat droplets that inhibits their movement and traps the continuous phase, thereby leading to an increased viscosity and even gel-like properties (Mao & McClements, 2012b;Santipanichwong & Suphantharika, 2009). Additionally, saliva-induced aggregation of fat droplets in the oral cavity may contribute to the desirable mouthfeel of some emulsion-based products, since this increases the perceived viscosity in the mouth (Silletti, Vingerhoeds, Norde, & Van Aken, 2007;van Aken, Vingerhoeds, & de Hoog, 2007).…”
