Development and characterization of defatted coconut flour based oleogels: A fat substitute for application in oil-fortified surimi.

ABSTRACT: This research examined the impact of defatted coconut flour (DCF)-based oleogels on the quality of surimi. Microscopic analysis indicated that the dietary fiber present in DCF could act as the main structure of the oleogels network. The formation of the oleogels network primarily relies on the tensile intramolecular or intermolecular hydrogen bonds between DCF and corn oil. The oleogels displayed oil binding capacity of up to 96.95% and exhibited favorable mechanical and rheological properties. Efforts were undertaken to integrate the acquired oleogels into silver carp surimi to create oil-fortified surimi products. Adding oleogels significantly enhanced the gel strength, texture, and water-holding capacity of surimi compared to adding corn oil. Especially, oleogels containing 5.0 % (w/v)
