On slip effects in steady-state flow measurements of oil-in-water food emulsions
1998
Franco, J.M. | Gallegos, C. | Barnes, H.A.
The problem of the wall slip in steady-state flow measurements of oil-in-water (o/w) food emulsions has been investigated for different sensor system geometries and surface profiles. Experimental results demonstrated that slip effects are strongly dependent on the type of emulsion studied. This may be related to the emulsion microstructure. Thus, for instance, a highly structured gel-like continuous phase dampens wall slip effects, as opposed to emulsions in which creaming appears as a mechanism of instability, because of the formation of particulate flocs. The occurrence of wall slip is more clearly observed if the flow curves are obtained from stress sweep experiments. Although the recovery of the steady-state viscosity of a presheared sample is generally complete (similar values at low and high shear rates), the appearance of slip effects may be favoured by emulsion preshearing.

Because many common foods are emulsions (mayonnaise, coffee creamers, salad dressing, etc.), a better understanding of lipid oxidation mechanisms in these systems is crucial for the formulation, production, and storage of the relevant consumer products. A research body has focused on the microstructural and oxidative stability of protein-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions that are structurally similar to innovative products that have been recently developed by the food industry (e.g., non-dairy creams, vegetable fat spreads, etc.) This review presents recent findings about the factors that determine the development of lipid oxidation in emulsions where proteins constitute the stabilizing interface. Emphasis is given to “endogenous” factors, such as those of compositional (e.g., protein/lipid phases, pH, presence of transition metals) or processing (e.g., temperature, droplet size) nature. Improved knowledge of the conditions that favor the oxidative protection of protein in emulsions can lead to their optimized use as food ingredients and thereby improve the organoleptic and nutritional value of the related products.
