Project description
Oleogels are prepared using natural waxes in rice bran oil which contains a high amount of oryzanol and other antioxidants. These oleogels are solid-like in nature but are low in saturated fatty acids and could therefore be applied for production of confectionary fillings and margarines with an improved nutritional profile.
