Structural optimization and freeze-thaw stabilization of carnauba wax and beta-sitosterol bigels via peanut protein and sodium alginate complexation

This study investigated the influence of peanut protein/sodium alginate (PP/SA) complex and oleogel-to-hydrogel ratio on the structure, mechanical properties and stability of carnauba wax/β-sitosterol-based bigels. The results indicated adding SA increased PP mean particle size from 88.1 to 395.2 and 729.6 nm, and abso...
