Abstract

In baked products, such as muffins, the fat reduction to decrease the caloric content is important without detrimental effects on product quality. Among the fat replacers, emulsion-filled gels imply lower fat depending on the oil fraction. The objective of this work was to replace soybean oil in muffins formulation with two different emulsion-filled gels, containing candelilla wax oleogel or ethylcellulose oleogel as oil fraction, to enhance nutritional quality. Colour, texture, crumb quality, moisture, fat, and protein were analysed. Emulsion-filled gels samples resulted in a darker colour, and a more hard and resilient texture, as a reflection of lower cells number developed in crumbs during baking; but there was a lower fat and an increase in protein content. Emulsion-filled gels with candelilla wax as oil fraction are a alternative to decrease caloric content without compromising the energetic values of the foods.
