Effects of polyglycerol esters on freeze-thaw stability of emulsions contained crystallized and non-crystallized edible oils
摘要
Freeze thaw stability of emulsions contained non-crystallized oil (corn oil (CnO) and sunflower oil (SfO)), and crystallized oil (coconut oil (CtO)) was examined. Decaglycerol monostearate (PGE-S) and decaglycerol monolaurate (PGE-L) were used as emulsifiers. Emulsions contained oil of 20% (by wt) and PGE of 1–3% (by wt) were stored at -21 and − 80 °C. Stability of emulsions was determined from amounts of destabilized oil, mean droplet sizes, and DSC. The results show that CnO emulsion and SfO emulsion with 1% PGE-S had high stability by interfacial crystallization of PGE-S as solidified shell protected oil droplets from coalescence. High stability of CnO emulsion and SfO emulsion with PGE-L was obtained by applying higher concentration of 3%PGE-L as decaglycerol headgroup provided cryoprotectant properties. Stable CtO emulsion was achieved with 3% PGE-S, not by PGE-L, suggested PGE-S modified interfacial fat crystallization and prevented partial coalescence. PGE could be applied as cryoprotectant emulsifiers to improve freeze thaw stability of edible oil-in-water emulsions.
