High-performance thin-layer chromatography for the detection of compositional changes in LACTEM emulsifiers during storage
High-performance thin-layer chromatography for the detection of compositional changes in LACTEM emulsifiers during storage
Abstract (English)
Quality control of food emulsifiers, such as lactic acid esters of mono- and diacylglycerols (LACTEM), is crucial in the reproducible production of food products. The current study investigated compositional changes of LACTEM emulsifiers using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) during storage at 60 °C for 8 weeks. Ultraviolet (UV) and fluorescence images of the HPTLC silica gel F254s plates after primuline derivatization and densitometric data were analyzed to assess changes in the composition. Significant changes were observed for minor LACTEM components (< 10% relative intensity), specifically a decrease in higher-lactylated monoacylglycerols and an increase in triacylglycerols. Techno-functional properties, such as particle size distribution, apparent viscosity, overrun, foam firmness, drainage, and residual cream of aerosol whipping cream (0.8 g 100 g−1 LACTEM) were investigated. While emulsion stability was not affected, the foam firmness increased significantly, corresponding to a visibly more brittle foam. On the basis of these results, monitoring compositional changes in the food-manufacturing process is necessary to maintain constant food quality.
