Rheology and structure of oleogelled water-in-oil emulsions containing dispersed aqueous droplets as inactive fillers

The effect of dispersed aqueous droplets on the structure and rheology of rice bran wax (RBX) oleogels was investigated. Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions containing up to 50 wt% water dispersed in canola oil were generated with polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) as the oil-soluble surfactant. The presence of both the RBX and PGPR resulted in oleogelled W/O emulsions stable against coalescence and phase separation for at least 28 days. The key...
