Gel phase (Lβ) formation by mixed saturated and unsaturated monoglycerides

- The phase behaviour of mixed saturated and unsaturated monoglyceride has been investigated.
- There is some unsaturated monoglyceride incorporated into the α-gel phase of the saturated monoglyceride.
- The new type of α-gel structure (Lβ1) characterised by a more disordered structural arrangement.
