Conclusions
In conclusion, non-isothermal nucleation kinetics by spectrophotometry allow to evaluate the initial stage of oleogel microstructuring, even before it is perceived in the DSC technique. Non-isothermal nucleation kinetics are a good method to study crystallization processes that do not require thermal high precision or specific thermal parameters. The degree of saturation of the oils and high concentrations of gelling agent play an important role in nucleation, due to a higher gelling agent-oil interaction, which can influence the supramolecular organization and thus the final microstructural properties of the oleogels.
