Abstract
Triacylglycerols (TAGs) exhibit a monotropic polymorphism, forming three main polymorphic forms upon crystallization: α, β' and β. The distinct physicochemical properties of these polymorphs, such as melting temperature, subcell lattice structure, mass density, etc., significantly impact the appearance, texture, and long-term stability of a wide range products in the food and cosmetics industries. Additionally, TAGs are also of special interest in the field of controlled drug delivery and sustained release in pharmaceuticals, being a key material in the preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles. The present article outlines our current understanding of TAG phase behavior in both bulk and emulsified systems. While our primary focus are investigations involving monoacid TAGs and their mixtures, we also include illustrative examples with natural TAG oils, highlighting the knowledge transfer from simple to intricate systems. Special attention is given to recent discoveries via X-ray scattering techniques. The main factors influencing TAG polymorphism are discussed, revealing that a higher occurrence of structural defects in the TAG structure always accelerates the rate of the α → β polymorphic transformation. Diverse approaches can be employed based on the specific system: incorporating foreign molecules or solid particles into bulk TAGs, reducing drop size in dispersed systems, or using surfactants that remain fluid during TAG particle crystallization, ensuring the necessary molecular mobility for the polymorphic transformation. Furthermore, we showcase the role of TAG polymorphism on a recently discovered phenomenon: the creation of nanoparticles as small as 20 nm from initial coarse emulsions without any mechanical energy input. This analysis underscores how the broader understanding of the TAG polymorphism can be effectively applied to comprehend and control previously unexplored processes of notable practical importance.

Abstract
Effect of stearic acid-based lipophilic emulsifiers (sorbitan monostearate (Span-60), sucrose ester S-170, and lactic acid esters of monoglycerides (LACTEM)) and oleic acid-based lipophilic emulsifiers (sorbitan monooleate (Span-80) and sucrose ester O-170) on the crystallization of fat blend and the stability of whipped cream were studied. Span-60 and S-170 possessed strong nucleation inducing ability and good emulsifying properties. Thus, tiny and uniform crystals were formed in fat blends, small and ordered fat globules were distributed in emulsions, and air bubbles were effectively wrapped in firmly foam structures. The crystallization of the fat blend and the stability of whipped cream were slightly modified by LACTEM due to its poor nucleation inducing ability and moderate emulsifying characteristic. Span-80 and O-170 had weak nucleation inducing ability and poor emulsifying properties, therefore, loose crystals were formed in fat blends and some big fat globules were separated in emulsions, thereby decreasing the stability of whipped creams.

Effect of Solid Fat Content in Fat Droplets on Creamy Mouthfeel of Acid Milk Gels. Foods 2022; 11:foods11192932. [PMID: 36230008 PMCID: PMC9563907 DOI: 10.3390/foods11192932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that emulsions with higher solid fat content (SFC) are related to a higher in-mouth coalescence level and fat-related perception. However, the effect of SFC in fat droplets on the fat-related attributes of emulsion-filled gels has not been fully elucidated. In this study, the effect of SFC on the creamy mouthfeel of acid milk gel was investigated. Five kinds of blended milk fats with SFC values ranging from 10.61% to 85.87% were prepared. All crystals in the blended milk fats were needle-like, but the onset melting temperature varied widely. Blended milk fats were then mixed with skim milk to prepare acid milk gels (EG10−EG85, fat content 3.0%). After simulated oral processing, the particle size distribution and confocal images of the gel bolus showed that the degree of droplet coalescence in descending order was EG40 > EG20 > EG60 > EG10 ≥ EG85. There was no significant difference in apparent viscosity measured at a shear rate of 50/s between bolus gels, but the friction coefficients measured at 20 mm/s by a tribological method were negatively correlated with the coalescence result. Furthermore, quantitative descriptive analysis and temporal dominance of sensations analysis showed that SFC significantly affected the ratings of melting, mouth coating, smoothness and overall creaminess, as well as the perceived sequence and the duration of melting, smoothness and mouth coating of acid milk gels. Overall, our study highlights the role of intermediate SFC in fat droplets on the creamy mouthfeel of acid milk gels, which may contribute to the development of low-fat foods with desirable sensory perception.

Abstract
The crystallisation behaviour of milk fat plays an important role in the functionality and sensory properties of fat-rich dairy products. In this study, we investigated the impact of tempering to 25 °C on the viscoelastic properties, particle size and thermal behaviour of 20% w/w unprocessed and homogenised creams prepared from bovine milk. The crystallisation properties were examined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) at small (SAXS) and wide angle (WAXS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Oscillation rheology was performed to characterise the cream's viscoelastic properties. Homogenisation (35 MPa) reduced the average droplet size from 4.4 to 1.3 µm. After 24 h storage at 4 °C, milk fat structures showed triacylglycerol (TAG) 2L and 3L(001, 002, 003, 005) lamellar stacking orders associated predominantly with the α and β' polymorphic forms. Tempering to 25 °C induced the complete melting of the 3L crystals and led to an irreversible loss in the elastic modulus (G') and a reduction in the viscous modulus (G'') once returned to refrigerated conditions, due to changes in the particle-particle interactions and structure of the reformed milk fat crystals. The results demonstrate that crystallisation behaviour of milk fat is influenced by droplet size and the rearrangement of triacylglycerol (TAG) upon tempering, and lead to changes in the viscoelastic behaviour of dairy products containing a high level of milk fat.

Abstract
In this study, five fats (hydrogenated palm kernel oil, HPKO-A and HPKO-B; refined vegetable oils, RVO-A and RVO-B; transesterification oil, TO) were used to prepare whipping creams. HPKO-A and RVO-A which rich in lauric and myristic acids facilitated the formation of small crystals and dense crystal network, while higher stearic acid content of HPKO-B formed large spherical crystals. The richness in palmitic acid (RVO-B and TO) and oleic acid (TO) led to the formation of weak crystal network. Higher partial coalescence was correlated to higher collision frequency of fat globules and crystal connection, therefore, the overruns, firmness and stability of creams prepared by HPKO-A and RVO-A were higher than those of HPKO-B and RVO-B. The least stability of cream prepared by TO was related to the weak crystal networks. In summary, higher lauric and myristic acids content resulted in dense crystal networks, promoting partial coalescence and improving the cream quality.

Abstract
Lipid crystallization in O/W emulsions is essential to control the release of nutrients and to food structuring. While few information is involved in adjusting and controlling the performance of emulsions by adjusting oil phase crystallization behavior. We herein developed a novel strategy for designing lipid crystallization inside oil droplets by natural waxes to modify the O/W emulsion properties. Natural waxes, the bio-based and sustainable materials, displayed a high efficiency in modifying the crystallization behavior, droplet surface and shape, as well as the overall performance of emulsions. Specifically, waxes induced the formation of a new hydrocarbon chain distances of 3.70 and 4.15 Å and slightly decreased the lamellar distance (d001) of the single crystallites, thus forming the large and rigid crystals in droplets. Interestingly, these large and rigid crystals in droplets tended to penetrate the interface film, forming the crystal bumps on the droplet surface and facilitating non-spherical shape transformation. The presence of rice bran wax (RW) and carnauba wax (CW) induced the droplet shape into ellipsoid and polyhedron shape, respectively. Furthermore, the uneven interface and non-spherical shape transformation promoted the crystalline droplet-droplet interaction, fabricating a three-dimensional network structure in O/W emulsions. Finally, both linear and nonlinear rheology strongly supported that waxes enhanced the crystalline droplet-droplet interaction and strengthened the network in O/W emulsions. Our findings give a clear insight into the effects of adding natural waxes into oil phase on the crystalline and physical behavior of emulsions, which provides a direction for the design and control of emulsion performance.

Abstract
The blend of fish oil with a high percentage of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids, and milkfat with a high percentage of saturated fatty acids, could potentially demonstrate desirable characteristics from both components, such as increased omega-3 fatty acids and melting point, as well as improved crystallization and oxidative stability. In this study, the effect of various milkfat concentrations on thermal properties and crystalline structure of these blends were analysed to understand parameters determining the overall characteristics of the blend. Blends with different ratios of fish oil: milkfat (9:1, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 1:9), as well as pure fish oil and pure milkfat, were investigated at different cooling conditions. The crystallization behaviour in all samples shifted to lower temperature ranges, by increasing the cooling rate from 1 to 32 °C/min. However, the changes in cooling rate did not have significant effect on the melting profile of the samples. Whereas changes in milkfat ratio affect both the crystallization and melting behaviour. New crystallization peaks were observed on DSC spectra between the range of -4 to -13 °C in the blends. Moreover, new melting peaks appeared in two ranges of -1 to -8 °C and 8-9 °C, in the blends. The crystallization and melting behaviour of the blends were similar to those of milkfat when >30% milkfat was used. This was further confirmed via XRD where milkfat demonstrated the dominant polymorphic behaviour. Regarding shape of the crystals, fractal dimension analysis showed a similarity between clusters in blends containing 50% milkfat or higher. Increasing the ratio of milkfat led to an increase in fractal dimension which indicates higher mass-spatial distribution of the crystal networks in the blends. The data showed that adding 30% or more milkfat to pure fish oil resulted in blends demonstrating similar characteristics to milkfat, including thermal, structural, and oxidative stability. This shows the potential of blending a high percentage of docosahexaenoic acid in milk fat to improve their overall stability.

Abstract
Droplet size, polydispersity, physical and polymorphic stability of milk fat nanoemulsions produced by hot high-pressure homogenization and stabilized by whey protein isolate (WPI pH 4.0 or 7.0) or sodium caseinate (NaCas pH 7.0) were evaluated for 60 days of storage at 25 °C. Smaller droplets were observed for the NaCas pH 7.0 nanoemulsion, which also showed a lower polydispersity index, resulting in a stable emulsified system for 60 days. On the other hand, the nanoemulsion with bigger droplet size (WPI pH 4.0) showed reduced stability, probably due to the pH near the isoelectric point of the whey proteins. The nanostructured milk fat exhibited the same melting behavior as the bulk milk fat, with a balance between liquid and crystallized fat, and crystals in polymorphic form β'. This could be an advantage concerning the application of the system for delivery of bioactive compounds and improvement of the sensory properties of fat-based food. In summary, nanoemulsions stabilized by NaCas (pH 7.0) showed higher kinetic stability over the storage time, which from a technological application point of view is a very important factor in the food industry.

Abstract
There is a growing demand for fats that confer structure, control the crystallization behavior, and maintain the polymorphic stability of lipid matrices in foods. In this context, milk fat has the potential to meet this demand due to its unique physicochemical properties. However, its use is limited at temperatures above 34 °C when thermal and mechanical resistance are desired. The addition of vegetable oil hard fats to milk fat can alter its physicochemical properties and increase its technological potential. This study evaluated the chemical composition and the physical properties of lipid bases made with anhydrous milk fat (AMF) and fully hydrogenated soybean oil (FHSBO) at the proportions of 90:10; 80:20; 70:30; 60:40; and 50:50 (% w/w). The increased in FHSBO concentration resulted in blends with higher melting point, which the addition of 10% of FHSBO increase the melting point in 12 °C of the lipid base. Also, FHSBO contributed for a higher thermal resistance conferred by the coexistence of polymorphs β' and β, which remained stable for 90 days. Co-crystallization was observed for all blends due to the total compatibility of milk fat with the fully hydrogenated soybean oil. The results suggest a potential of all blends for various technological applications, makes milk fat more appropriate to confer structure, and improve the polymorph stability in foods. The blends presenting singular characteristics according to the desired thermal stability, melting point, and polymorphic habit.

Abstract
Cows' milk is a commodity used worldwide to make many dairy products. We have used the ultra small angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) technique to reveal the fat globule and casein micelle structures of some dairy products. USAXS covers the q-range 5 × 10-4 Å-1 < q < 10-1 Å-1, thereby allowing the study of micron-scale structures present in those dairy products. We measured the USAXS intensity, Iq, as a function of the scattering vector magnitude, q, for samples of skim milk, non-homogenized whole milk, homogenized whole milk, half and half and heavy cream, at two temperatures, 7 °C and 45 °C. The data collected from the scattering experiments were fitted using the Unified fit model run under the IRENA software from the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory (Illinois, USA). The fittings were carried out when the data were plotted as log[I(q)] vs log[q]. We observed a combination of linear regions (LRs) and knees. Two parameters of interest were obtained from the fittings, a radius of gyration, Rg, and a Porod exponent, P. Unified fit allowed us to fit up to four structural levels. One of the knees was centered at q ≈ 8 × 10-3 Å-1 for all samples measured at 7 °C, but vanished at 45 °C. Two LRs were identified as being either due to casein micelles (CMs) or to fat globules (FGs). The porod exponent obtained from these LRs allowed us to describe the surface morphology of CMs and FGs. Two of the Rg values gave a rough estimate of the FGs and CMs sizes. FGs were identified for samples of homogenized whole milk, half and half and heavy cream in the q-region 2 × 10-4 < q < 8 × 10-4 Å-1. We found that, in the absence of chymosin, or changes in pH, CaCl2 concentration or temperature changes, skim milk and non-homogenized whole milk displayed a Porod exponent that indicated a behavior characteristic of aggregation. Using computer simulations, we found that, seemingly, bovine CMs spontaneously formed approximately 1-dimensional aggregates possibly analogous to swollen randomly branched polymers.

Abstract
Food production and consumption patterns have changed dramatically in recent decades. The universe of oils and fats, in particular, has been changed due to the negative impacts of trans fatty acids produced industrially through the partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils. Regulations prohibiting its use have led the industry to produce semisolid lipid systems using chemical methods for modification of oils and fats, with limitations from a technological point of view and a lack of knowledge about the metabolization of the modified fats in the body. Milk fat is obtained from the complex biosynthesis in the mammary gland and can be a technological alternative for the modulation of the crystallization processes of semi-solids lipid systems, once it is naturally plastic at the usual processing, storage, and consumption temperatures. The natural plasticity of milk fat is due to its heterogeneous chemical composition, which contains more than 400 different fatty acids that structure approximately 64 million triacylglycerols, with a preferred polymorphic habit in β', besides other physical properties. Therefore, milk fat differs from any lipid raw material found in nature. This review will address the relationship between the chemical behavior and physical properties of semisolid lipids, demonstrating the potential of milk fat as an alternative to the commonly used modification processes.

Abstract
The effect of nanostructured fat crystals on oil migration properties in water-in-oil-type emulsified semisolid fats was investigated. Model emulsions containing 4 different semisolid fats (palm oil, partially hydrogenated palm oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, and milk fat) and 1 bulk fat blend were prepared with rapidly cooling crystallization. The length of the nanoplatelets was observed by cryo transmission electron microscopy, the crystal thickness was calculated by small-angle X-ray diffraction, and the solid fat content (SFC) was determined. Although the interfacial surface of the dispersed water droplets did not influence nanoplatelet size, oil migration in the emulsified samples was lower than in the bulk fat. The crystal sizes in samples with partially hydrogenated soybean oil involving elaidic acid were larger, in contrast to that of milk fat, involving low to medium chain length fatty acids, which had smaller crystal sizes and showed wide length distribution. The length of the platelets and SFC were related to the oil migration value. These results suggest that the oil binding ability of fat products, such as margarine, is influenced by the nanostructure, which is related to fatty acid composition and interfacial structure.

Abstract
Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions based on crystallized oils were prepared and the release kinetics of magnesium ions from the internal to the external aqueous phase was investigated at T=4°C, for different crystallized lipophilic matrices. All the emulsions were formulated using the same surface-active species, namely polyglycerol polyricinoleate (oil-soluble) and sodium caseinate (water-soluble). The external aqueous phase was a lactose or glucose solution at approximately the same osmotic pressure as that of the inner droplets, in order to avoid osmotic water transfer phenomena. We investigated two types of crystallized lipophilic systems: one based on blends of cocoa butter and miglyol oil, exploring a solid fat content from 0 to 90% and the other system based on milk fat fractions for which the solid fat content varies between 54 and 86%. For double emulsions based on cocoa butter/miglyol oil, the rate of magnesium release was gradually lowered by increasing the % of fat crystals i.e. cocoa butter, in agreement with a diffusion/permeation mechanism. However for double emulsions based on milk fat fractions, the rate of magnesium release was independent of the % of fat crystals and remains the one at t=0. This difference in diffusion patterns, although the solid content is of the same order, suggests a different distribution of fat crystals within the double globules: a continuous fat network acting as a physical barrier for the diffusion of magnesium for double emulsions based on cocoa butter/miglyol oil and double globule/water interfacial distribution for milk fat fractions based double emulsions, through the formation of a crystalline shell allowing an effective protection of the double globules against diffusion of magnesium to the external aqueous phase.

Abstract
The churnability of commercial dairy cream as a function of fat globule size from micron to nanometric range (0.17-3.50μm) was investigated. To achieve the lower fat globule size with increased interfacial area various amounts of sodium caseinate (NaCN) (0.15-4.9wt%) or Tween 80 (0.25-1wt%) were added to the cream. Under similar microfluidization and churning conditions, both fat globule size and emulsifier type had a significant influence on the churning time and proportion of fat in buttermilk. In general, churning time and buttermilk fat content were increased above 3.5min and 4.4% fat (for untreated fat globule size), respectively with decreasing average fat globule size irrespective of the type of emulsifier used. The addition of Tween 80 reduced the churning time significantly and also decreased the fat content of buttermilk as compared to NaCN added cream.

Abstract
The crystallisation and melting behaviour, fat polymorphs, microstructure and texture of anhydrous milk fat (AMF) was investigated in the presence of dissolved CO2 (0-2000ppm) under two crystallising conditions (non-isothermal versus isothermal). CO2 was found to induce higher onset crystallisation temperature during cooling from 35 to 5°C at 0.5°Cmin-1. X-ray scattering analysis showed that, in the presence of dissolved CO2, this rapid crystallisation caused the formation of unstable, α polymorph fat crystals. For milk fat crystallised under isothermal condition at 25°C for 48h, dissolved CO2 improved solid fat content, slightly depressed melting temperature and exhibited a sharper melting peak. Microstructure of AMF visualised by Polarised light microscopy of crystallised AMF showed that increasing dissolved CO2 concentration was associated with smaller crystal size and greater crystal number. The bulk properties of the fat appeared to mirror the microstructural differences, in that the texture of CO2-treated AMF was harder under isothermal condition but became softer than untreated AMF under cooling condition. The results of this study are of significance in understanding how CO2 treatment might be used to modulate the crystallisation behaviour of milkfat and thereby the structural development and physical functionality of fat-containing dairy products.

Abstract
The nanoscale structure of milk fat (MF) crystal networks is extensively described for the first time through the characterization of milk fat-crystalline nanoplatelets (MF-CNPs). Removing oil by washing with cold isobutanol and breaking-down crystal aggregates by controlled homogenization allowed for the extraction and visualization of individual MF-CNPs that are mainly composed of high melting triacylglycerols (TAGs). By image analysis, the length and width of MF-CNPs were measured (600 nm × 200 nm-900 nm × 300 nm). Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), crystalline domain size, (i.e., thickness of MF-CNPs), was determined (27 nm (d001)). Through interpretation of ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) patterns of MF using Unified Fit and Guinier-Porod models, structural properties of MF-CNPs (smooth surfaces) and MF-CNP aggregations were characterized (RLCA aggregation of MF-CNPs to form larger structures that present diffused surfaces). Elucidation of MF-CNPs provides a new dimension of analysis for describing MF crystal networks and opens-up opportunities for modifying MF properties through nanoengineering.

Abstract
High-performance barrier films preventing permeation of moisture, aggressive chloride ions, and corrosive acids are important for many industries ranging from food to aviation. In the current study, pristine sunflower oil was used to form uniform adherent films on iron (Fe) via a simple single-step thermal treatment (without involving any initiator/mediator/catalyst). Oxidation of oil on heating results in a highly conjugated (oxidized) crystalline lamellar network with interlayer separation of 0.445 nm on Fe. The electrochemical corrosion tests proved that the coating exhibits superior anticorrosion performance with high coating resistance (>10(9) ohm cm2) and low capacitance values (<10(-10) F cm(-2)) as compared to bare Fe, graphene, and conducting polymer based coatings in 1 M hydrochloric acid solutions. The electrochemical analyses reveal that the oil coatings developed in this study provided a two-fold protection of passivation from the oxide layer and barrier from polymeric films. It is clearly observed that there is no change in structure, morphology, or electrochemical properties even after a prolonged exposure time of 80 days. This work indicates the prospect of developing highly inert, environmentally green, nontoxic, and micrometer level passivating barrier coatings from more sustainable and renewable sources, which can be of interest for numerous applications.
