Background:
The lipids in the Yuba are encapsulated in a protein network structure in the form of oil bodies (OBs). Oil exudates are a common problem in Yuba during storage. Therefore, we investigated the changes in oil precipitates during frozen storage of Yuba and their effects on the digestive properties of Yuba.
Results:
The results showed that the particle size of OBs decreased from 369 to 281 nm, the absolute value of zeta potential increased from 20 to 34 mV. The structural integrity of the liposomes in the yuba was gradually destroyed with the increase of frozen storage time. The values of free fatty acid (FFA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value gradually increased with the prolongation of frozen storage; in vitro digestion of yuba slows down with increasing frozen storage time.
Conclusion:
The altered structure of the OB reduces the bioaccessibility of yuba lipids. This study provides a theoretical basis for solving the problem of yuba lipids leakage. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
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...
