The invention belongs to the technical field of
food processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of
thymol microemulsion and application of the
thymol microemulsion in margarine. According to the
thymol microemulsion provided by the invention, the water
solubility and stability of
edible oil and the
utilization rate of
unsaturated fatty acid can be improved, the
edible oil is encapsulated in the form of microemulsion, and
polyunsaturated fatty acid is embedded through a
food delivery system, so that the
dispersity of the
polyunsaturated fatty acid in a water phase is improved, and oxidation of oil drops is inhibited; therefore, the purposes of protecting, transferring and releasing the functional
grease are achieved. According to the margarine prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention, in-vitro simulated
digestion result analysis shows that oil drops of a
test sample are gradually reduced along with the action of
stomach and intestine digestive juice, and the total
fatty acid content is reduced. According to the phenomenon, positive regulation and control of a
system on fat
digestion and normal
metabolism of fat are optimized, the
controllability of fat
digestion and absorption is achieved, the requirements of special
crowds for slow release of nutritional ingredients of
sugar-controlled and fat-controlled people and the like are met, and experimental and theoretical support is provided for functional application.
