Abstract:
This paper aims to overview the influence of different gels that including hydrocolloids and oleogel on techno-functional changes of dairy foods. The hydrocolloids are widely added to dairy products as stabilizers, emulsifiers, and gelling agents to enhance their texture, or improve sensory properties to meet consumer needs; and the newly developed oleogel, which despite less discussed in dairy foods, this article lists its application in different dairy products. The properties of different hydrocolloids were explained in detail, meanwhile, some common hydrocolloids such as pectin, sodium alginate, carrageenan along with the interaction between gel and proteins on techno-functional properties of dairy products were mainly discussed. What's more, the composition of oleogel and its influence on dairy foods were briefly summarized. The key issues have been revealed that the use of both hydrocolloids and oleogel has great potential to be the future trend to improve the quality of dairy foods effectively.

Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...
