Triglyceride network structural modification: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Phase separation and bloom in fat-based fillings lead to poor shelf stability and texture loss. These formulations engineer the lipid network structure to maintain homogeneity and mouthfeel.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Triglyceride network structural modification?

Structural instability in aerated fats

(12)evidences

The inclusion of aerated confectionery and expanded cereal products indicates a focus on the instability of gas bubbles within a lipid-based network. Preventing the loss of volume or texture due to internal pressure changes or mechanical weakness is critical for shelf-life and sensory quality.

Poor coating oil release

(3)evidences

Excessive oiling out and poor release properties lead to undesirable texture and appearance in food coatings. Preventing this migration ensures structural integrity and consumer appeal in low saturated fat products.

Unbalanced sensory sweetness perception

(2)evidences

High caloric density and metabolic health risks associated with traditional sweeteners in processed foods. Reducing these levels while maintaining structural integrity and sensory profile improves nutritional profiles.
