Preparation and Characterization of Oleogels Based on Cellulose Modified by High-Pressure Microfluidization and Rubber Seed Oil Body.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to minimize the amount of gelator used in oleogel preparation and enhance the valorization of rubber seeds. Cellulose extracted from rubber seed shells was modified via high-pressure microfluidization (HPM), which significantly enhanced its specific surface area from 0.92 m²/g (CL) to 6.47 m²/g (MCL), along with markedly improved water-holding capacity (WHC increased from 4.92 to 29.37 g/g) and swelling capacity (SC increased from 0.65 to 3.38 mL/g). The modified cellulose (MCL) served as the gelator, while rubber seed oil bodies (OBs), isolated through sucrose-assisted extraction, functioned as the oil phase. A series of OB emulsions containing 0% to 0.75% MCL were prepared and subsequently converted into oleogels by freeze-drying and shearing. Oleog
