Abstract:
In this study, the influence of cooling rate on the freeze-thaw stability, rheological and tribological properties of interfacial crystalized oleogel emulsion was investigated. Results showed that slower cooling rate could promote formation of larger crystals and stronger network in oleogels. Additionally, oleogel emulsions showed higher freeze-thaw stability than those stabilized solely by emulsifiers. The slower cooling rate resulted in larger crystals adsorbed at the droplet surface. This led to greater steric hindrance that prevented the migration of oil droplets with higher resistance to disruption by ice crystals. The rheological and tribological measurements suggested that with appropriate amount of crystals, the tribological properties were better maintained for emulsions prepared at slow cooling rate after freeze-thaw treatment. This strategy greatly enriched oleogel emulsion formulations and provided important clues for potential applications in food products involved with freeze-thaw treatment.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
