      Parameters of Sunflower-Wax-Based Oleogels.

AB  - A rising health concern with saturated fatty acids allowed researchers to look 
      into the science of replacing these fats with unsaturated fatty acids. 
      Oleogelation is a technique to structure edible oil using gelators. The present 
      study looked for the effect of solid emulsifiers; namely, sorbitan monostearate 
      (SP) and stearyl alcohol (SA), on the physicochemical parameters of oleogels. All 
      the oleogels were formulated using 5% sunflower wax (SW) in sunflower oil (SO). 
      The formulated oleogels displayed irregular-shaped wax crystals on their surface. 
      The bright-field and polarized microscopy showed the fiber/needle network of wax 
      crystals. Formulations consisting of 10 mg (0.05% w/w) of both the emulsifiers 
      (SA10 and SP10) in 20 g of oleogels displayed the appearance of a dense wax 
      crystal network. The SP and SA underwent co-crystallization with wax molecules, 
      which enhanced crystal growth and increased the density and size of the wax 
      crystals. The XRD and FTIR studies suggested the presence of a similar beta' 
      polymorph to that of the triacylglycerols' arrangement. The incorporation of SA 
      and SP in wax crystal packing might have resulted in a lower crystallization rate 
      in SA10 and SP10. Evaluation of the thermal properties of oleogels through DSC 
      showed better gel recurrence of high melting enthalpy. These formulations also 
      displayed a sustained release of curcumin. Despite the variations in several 
      properties (e.g., microstructures, crystallite size, thermal properties, and 
      nutrient release), the emulsifiers did not affect the mechanical properties of 
      the oleogel. The meager amounts of both the emulsifiers were able to modulate the 
      nutrient release from the oleogels without affecting their mechanical properties 
      in comparison to the control sample.
