Edible oleogels, oils structured by non-triglyceride networks, can be used for the delivery of lipid-soluble molecules due to their composition, functional properties, and structure.
Enzymatic reactions in nonaqueous solvents offer new possibilities for producing useful chemicals (emulsifiers, surfactants, wax esters, chiral drug molecules, biopolymers, peptides and proteins, modified fats and oils, structured lipids and flavor esters).
Consequently, there has been no study showing the effect of the type of hydrocarbon wash on the red-oils structure and its potential emulsifying properties.
Additionally, this study proved that the PyGas wash altered the red-oils structure which led to species having stronger emulsification properties than the red-oils coming from TX-cut wash, most probably because of the generation of these new oxygenated species mentioned above.
Epoxidized castor oil structure was confirmed by FTIR, Raman and 1H NMR techniques.
With moving away from the well and reduction of the pressure gradient, the oil structure becomes stronger and its viscosity increases.
It is predicted that the original oil structure will be completely destroyed if the distance between the borehole bottoms is within 300 m over the entire developed area.
The enhanced oil solubilization in the aqueous T1107 aggregates was widely investigated highlighting the role of the oil structure, composition, temperature and pH.
In countries like Mexico, with an important oil structure, this generates several disadvantages in the phase of extraction, as well as in those of transport, refinement and distribution.
This process eliminates the hydrogen atom on the β-carbon of the vegetable oil structure, thus providing the esters with high degree of thermal stability, seldom found in vegetable oil [10].
The process of oil structure destruction in the studied reservoir begins with the application of pressure of ΔP n ≈ 1 MPa, and is fully completed at the pressure of ΔP m ≈ 2 MPa.
