The development of plant-based foods and beverages is becoming increasingly popular because of growing consumer concerns about perceived ethical, health, and environmental issues. The current study examined the influence of oil droplet concentration on the physicochemical properties of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions stabilized with a plant-based surfactant. Emulsions were utilized as model creamers, which consisted of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) as the oil phase and quillaja saponin as a plant-based surfactant. The optical, rheological and stability properties of these model creamers were measured at varied oil content from 0 to 15%, at a constant surfactant-to-oil ratio (1:15). The model creamers had an appearance similar to that of commercial non-dairy creamers, and their whiteness increased with increasing droplet concentration due to enhanced light scattering: L* from 77 to 91 for creamer and L* from 5 to 55 for white coffee. The quillaja saponin-coated lipid droplets were stable to aggregation and gravitational separation when added to hot acidic coffee solutions (85 degrees C, pH 4.9), which was attributed to strong steric and electrostatic repulsions. The apparent viscosity of the model creamers increased with increasing droplet concentration due to increased frictional losses associated with the presence of the droplets. This study provides valuable information into the impact of oil content on the physicochemical properties of liquid creamers using plant based surfactants, which is important for the formulation of healthier products.
