Physical Properties of Candelilla Wax, Monoacylglycerols, and Fully Hydrogenated Oil Oleogels

Oleogels have been studied in the past decade due to their potential to replace saturated fat in foods. Oleogelators have been mostly studied alone or in binary systems. Sometimes a single oleogelator cannot achieve all the technological properties necessary for a specific food application. Thus, the aim of this work was to investigate the interaction between candelilla wax (CLX), monoacylglycerols (MAG), and a fully hydrogenated oil (hardfat...
