Formulation and Characterization of Emulgel-Based Jelly Candy: A Preliminary Study on Nutraceutical Delivery.

The development of consumer-friendly nutraceutical dosage forms is highly important for greater acceptance. In this work, such dosage forms were prepared based on structured emulsions (emulgels), where the olive oil phase was filled within the pectin-based jelly candy. The emulgel-based candies were designed as bi-modal carriers, where oil-soluble curcumin and water-soluble riboflavin were incorporated as the model nutraceuticals.

Effect of Mixing Time on Properties of Whole Wheat Flour-Based Cookie Doughs and Cookies.

This study investigated if whole wheat flour-based cookie dough's physical properties were affected by mixing time (1 to 10 min). The cookie dough quality was assessed using texture (spreadability and stress relaxation), moisture content, and impedance analysis. The distributed components were better organized in dough mixed for 3 min when compared with the other times.

The Influence of Emulsifiers on the Physiochemical Behavior of Soy Wax/Rice Bran Oil-Based Oleogels and Their Application in Nutraceutical Delivery.

This research evaluated the influence of stearic acid, sunflower lecithin, and sorbitan monooleate on soy wax (SYW)/rice bran oil (RBO)-based oleogels. The physiochemical behavior of oleogel samples was evaluated using colorimetry, microscopy, FTIR, mechanical, crystallization kinetics, X-ray diffraction, and a drug release investigation. The prepared oleogels were light yellow, and adding emulsifiers did not change their appearance.

Variations in Microstructural and Physicochemical Properties of Soy Wax/Soybean Oil-Derived Oleogels Using Soy Lecithin.

Emerging natural-based polymers and materials progress and new technology innovations open the way for unique food products with high nutritional value development. In this regard, oleogel may be essential in replacing fatty acids from food products. In this study, we researched the effects of varied soy lecithin (SYL) concentrations on the various physicochemical characteristics of soy wax (SW)/refined soybean oil (RSO) oleogels.

Analysis of the Physical and Structure Characteristics of Reformulated Pizza Bread.

The current study deciphers the processing of different proportions of white flour and whole wheat flour (100:0, 75:25, 50:50: 25:75, and 0:100) into a pizza base using yeast-based fermentation. The bread making using the yeast system resulted in significant changes in the characteristics of bread, ranging from the porous structure development to the crumb cellular structure modifications. An increase in the proportions of whole wheat flour resulted in the formation of golden yellow pizza bases.
