Abstract:SummaryBigel systems (BG) were formed through the combination of an oleogel (OG) formed with canola oil and beeswax (5% wt.), and a hydrogel (HG) formed with sweet potato (SP) or chayote tuber (CH) starch (10 % wt.), using three OG:HG ratios (30:70, 40:60, 50:50). All the BG were self‐standing, exhibiting uniform and well‐defined phase distribution of OG‐in‐HG, and oil binding capacities greater than 96%. Droplet size of BG was influenced by the OG:HG ratio, higher amount of OG produced smaller droplet sizes. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
