Abstract
The effects of variations in the ratios of the inner water phase (W1), palm oil phase (O), and outer water phase (W2) in double emulsions (W/O/W), as well as the soy protein concentrations in W2, on the physicochemical properties and structure of double emulsion gels (DEG) used as solid cubic fat substitutes were investigated. Results showed that an increase in the proportion of O led to a 144 % increase in the size of the double emulsion particles, and a 15.38 % decrease in the cohesiveness of the DEG. The large aggregated oil droplets enlarged the network's porosity. High protein content contributed to the formation of a denser DEG network, resulting in a 32.64 % increase in the gel's hardness. Additionally, variations in the W1:O ratio had a highly significant effect on the properties of the DEG. These results conclusively proved the feasibility of improving DEG properties by adjusting the basic emulsion ratios.
