Study on the Effect of Emulsifiers on the Properties of Oleogels Based on Olive Oil Containing Lidocaine.

ABSTRACT: Oleogels are semi-solid materials that consist primarily of liquid oil immobilized in a network of organized structural molecules, which provide stability and maintain the oil in the desired shape. Due to their structure, oleogels can stabilize large amounts of liquid, making them excellent carriers for active substances, both lipophilic and hydrophilic. This study presents the synthesis methodology and investigations of olive oil-based oleogels, which are among the healthiest and most valuable vegetable fats, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants such as vitamin E. Two types of surfactants were used: TWEEN 80, which lowers surface tension and stabilizes emulsions, and SPAN 80, which acts in oil-dominated phases. The oleogels were enriched with lidocaine, an active substance com
