Many physical properties (e.g., hardness, texture, rheology, and spreadability) of lipid‐based products largely depend on the extent crystallization transformation lipids, their network formation. Therefore, many studies have focused controlling lipids in order to determine functionality lipid crystals. Both internal external factors greatly affect processes crystallization. The most important are polymorphism, which depends variation fatty acid moieties, composition or blending different...
Rice bran wax (RBX) obtained during rice oil purification can form organogels in edible oils.

A molecular compound, βC, formed at the 1:1 concentration ratio POP, giving rise to two monotectic phases PPO/compound compound/POP in a juxtapositional way. βC has long spacing value 4.1 nm double chain length structure.

Polymorphic crystallization of SOS (sn-1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol) has been studied with a time-resolved synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction method (SR-XRD) using pure samples. five polymorphs: α, γ, β', β2, and β1. Emphasis was placed on analyzing the events melt-mediated transformation, in which more stable forms (γ, β2) induced by rapid melting less forms. This mode is closely related to long running dispute concerning "memory effect" possibly occurring polymorphic...
The crystallization behavior of tripalmitin (PPP) and trilaurin (LLL) without with the application ultrasonic power is investigated in situ using synchrotron radiation time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) wide-angle (WAXS) simultaneous measurement. Without ultrasound application, both polymorphic forms β' β crystallized melt each substance. With treatment melt, following effects were observed: (i) a marked decrease induction times for PPP LLL, (ii) an increased nucleation rate,...
We performed scanning microbeam small-angle X-ray diffraction (micro-SAXD) experiments, differential calorimetry (DSC) analysis, and optical microscopic observation of palm mid fraction (PMF) crystals in oil-in-water emulsion droplets. The micro-SAXD experiment was by irradiating a synchrotron radiation having an area 5 x microm(2) onto different positions on 50 microm diameter droplet after the crystallization PMF chilling at degrees C. patterns were recorded with two-dimensional (2D)...
Using macrobeam and microbeam techniques, we performed synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) analyses of fat crystallization in water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, combination with DSC polarized optical microscopic observation. Particular focus was on the fats around water droplets W/O emulsion systems using food emulsifiers polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) alone (PGPR emulsion), PGPR monobehenoylglycerol (MB) (PGPR+MB emulsion). We obtained following results: (1) SR-XRD confirmed...
