Abstract

The present research studied some oleogels based on cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil (PO), refined
rapeseed oil (RO), and their mixtures in different combinations: PO:RO (3:1) and RO:PO (1:1), formulated with 7% and
10% beeswax (BW) as oleogelator. Several physicochemical properties were analysed, such as crystal formation time
(CFT) and oil bonding capacity (OBC), along with oxidative stability, texture and sensory properties. The developed
oleogels based on PO and PO:RO (3:1) with 10% BW were found to be stable regarding texture and oxidation, exhibiting
high OBC and good consumer acceptability.
