Figure 3. Principle of MAG gel formation and structure Abstract The stability of an opened container of a monoglyceride-oil-water shortening alternative (MAG gel) containing 4.5% monoacylglycerol, 0.22% stearic acid, canola oil and 30, 35 or 40% water was monitored for a period of 5 weeks at 22˚C or 8˚C. The dropping point (DP) of the 40% water-containing samples stored at RT remained constant at ~75˚C while the DP...
