Popis: Standard Palm Oil (SPO) is widely used as a food ingredient partially due to its unique thermophysical properties. However, the American Heart Association recommends a saturated fat consumption of OxG Palm hybrid yields oil known as “palm oil with a higher content of oleic acid” (HOPO), with 50% oleic acid. Characterizing novel high oleic oils is the starting point to find processes that can functionalize them such as oleogelation. This study compared the thermophysical properties of HOPO to SPO using Differential Scanning Calorimetry, shear rheology, polarized light microscopy, and texture analysis to characterize the differences between these oils. HOPO had a lower onset crystallization temperature (Δ7 °C) and its rheological behavior followed similar trends to SPO; however, large viscosity offsets were observed and were correlated to differences in crystallization temperatures. The maximum peak force of SPO was an order of magnitude higher than that of HOPO. Overall similar trends between the oils were observed, but differences in firmness, crystal morphology, and viscosity were not linearly correlated with the offset in crystallization temperature. This study quantified differences between these oils that will better enable industry to use HOPO in specific applications.
