Abstract

Effect of stearic acid-based lipophilic emulsifiers (sorbitan monostearate (Span-60), sucrose ester S-170, and lactic acid esters of monoglycerides (LACTEM)) and oleic acid-based lipophilic emulsifiers (sorbitan monooleate (Span-80) and sucrose ester O-170) on the crystallization of fat blend and the stability of whipped cream were studied. Span-60 and S-170 possessed strong nucleation inducing ability and good emulsifying properties. Thus, tiny and uniform crystals were formed in fat blends, small and ordered fat globules were distributed in emulsions, and air bubbles were effectively wrapped in firmly foam structures. The crystallization of the fat blend and the stability of whipped cream were slightly modified by LACTEM due to its poor nucleation inducing ability and moderate emulsifying characteristic. Span-80 and O-170 had weak nucleation inducing ability and poor emulsifying properties, therefore, loose crystals were formed in fat blends and some big fat globules were separated in emulsions, thereby decreasing the stability of whipped creams.
