The present study was carried out to valorize the Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) by-products by extracting and identifying their biochemical compounds and evaluating their antioxidant potential by in vitro activities (DPPH radical and FRAP), as well as t...
This study reports the impact of margarine-representative ingredients on its oxidative stability and green tea extract as a promising antioxidant in margarine. Oil-in-water emulsions received much attention regarding factors that influence their oxid...
Margarine contains a minimum of 80% fat and is therefore prone to lipid oxidation. While lipid oxidation in vegetable oils and o/w emulsions has been thoroughly investigated, studies about the oxidative stability and the identification of potential i...
Essential oils, particularly lemon essential oil (LEO), have attracted increasing interest as natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents for food preservation. However, their direct incorporation into food systems is limited by high volatility, poo...
This study aimed to investigate the production of color-enriched oleogels using sunflower oil enriched with natural pigments, and to evaluate their potential as fat replacers in cookie formulations. Tomato, carrot, and spinach were used as natural co...
Oleogels have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional solid fats by structuring liquid oils without increasing trans or saturated fat levels. This study therefore aimed to develop rice bran oil (RBO)-based oleogels using beeswax (BW), carna...
Plant sterols (PS) are oxidized to PS oxidation products (POP). This study quantified the change in serum POP compared to cholesterol oxidation products (COP) after the intake of increasing POP doses. This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-cont...
Developing puff pastry (PP) laminating fats (LFs) with sustainable structured olive pomace oil (OPO) could contribute to its increased valorization. This study evaluated the physicochemical stability of four OPO-based LFs or margarines and the perfor...
