The current study developed ethylcellulose (EC) based oleogels with the addition of a surface active ingredient (sorbitanmonopalmitate, SP), in order to increase the active loading of curcumin by reducing lipid oxidation, improving curcumin solubility and chemical stability. With the increase in SP content, EC oleogels had more compact gel networks with evenly distributed smaller pores. Rheological analysis revealed that the gels had shear thinning behavior, and higher concentration of SP contributed to the systems with higher viscosity. The inclusion of SP also worked to reinforce gel strength as determined by frequency sweep, creep recovery and textural analyses. EC oleogels with higher content of SPwere capable to holdmore liquid oil during centrifugation, and the T-2 relaxation timewasmuch lower as determined by NMR. Peroxide value of the oleogelswas significantly lower in the systems with SP, and a SP content of 4% or 6% was effective in inhibiting lipid oxidation during storage. When curcumin was incorporated within the gel networks, its effective concentration was more retained with the addition of SP, as no curcumin crystals were detected by DSC during a 9-day storage test, and curcumin had much higher retention when exposed to UV light for 8 h.
