Abstract:
Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions with a discontinuous aqueous phase dispersed in a continuous camellia oil phase were prepared by using tea polyphenol palmitate (Tp-palmitate) particle as effective stabilizers and their properties were characterized by droplet size, slip melting point (SMP), stability, microstructure and rheology. The d(4,3) and d(3,2) decreased from 7.96 μm to 4.67 μm and from 5.98 μm to 3.07 μm, respectively, and the SMP rose from 33.73 °C to 38.60 °C when the Tp-palmitate concentration increased from 1.0% to 2.5% (m/v). The storage stability, freeze/thaw stability and thermal stability significantly enhanced and the droplets aggregation progressively increased with the increasing of Tp-palmitate concentration. The liquid camellia oil was transformed into solid-like viscoelastic emulsion gels with a SMP of 38.6 °C when using 2.5% Tp-palmitate as particle stabilizers. This study provides a promising method for production of edible gel-like W/O emulsions using polyphenol-lipid complexes to potentially replace solid fats.
