Monoglycerides (MGs) can form self-assembled structures (liquid crystals) in aqueous or oil systems, which can structure emulsions. In this study, MG was incorporated in Tween 20 or whey protein isolate (WPI) stabilized O/W emulsions, and the crystallizing behavior of MG in the emulsions and its effect on emulsion properties were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicated that in TW emulsions MG crystals were mainly in beta form when stored at 25 degrees C, but in alpha and sub-alpha forms at 4 degrees C before finally transferred to beta form. In WPI emulsions, only beta-form MG crystals were formed regardless of the storage temperature. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) study revealed that MG liquid crystals (beta form) were stacking in a well ordered lamellar style with a bilayer thickness of 49.5 angstrom. alpha and sub-alpha forms of the crystals were packing in hexagonal and orthorhombic styles, respectively. MG structured WPI emulsions were unstable when subjected to lower pH or NaCl solutions, probably because of WPI replacement by MG, as well as the interaction between MG and WPI.
