Physicochemical and Rheological Properties of Red Palm Olein Oleogels Made With Beeswax as the Oleogelator
ANNISA NOOR RACHMAWATI
Abstract:Red palm olein (RPO) is a source of carotenoids that can act as provitamin A and pigment. RPO is liquid at room temperature and heating degrades carotenoids easily. Modifying RPO into a solid by oleogelation is essential to expand its application in food products. This study aimed to identify the physicochemical and rheological properties of RPO oleogels, using beeswax as the oleogelator, including crystal morphology and formation, solid fat content, total carotenoid content, and colour analysis. This study co… Show more
