Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

The growing awareness of the adverse health effects of trans‐fats and saturated fats are
driving researchers to seek healthy alternatives. A promising strategy to structure liquid oil …

Supramolecular building blocks assembling into helical aggregates are ubiquitous in the
current literature, yet the role of solvents in these supramolecular polymerizations often …

Rational design of small molecular gelators is an elusive and herculean task, despite the
rapidly growing body of literature devoted to such gels over the past decade. The process of …

Background Edible oleogels, oils structured by non-triglyceride networks, can be used for
the delivery of lipid-soluble molecules due to their composition, functional properties, and …

Ethylcellulose (EC) is the only known food-grade polymer able to structure edible oils. The
gelation process and gel properties are similar to those of polymer hydrogels, the main …

Dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol (DBS) has been a well-known low-molecular-weight gelator of
organic solvents for over 100 years. As such, it constitutes a very early example of a …

This paper reviews the literature related to the complex chemical composition and
multiphase nature of bio-oils and their practical implications. Over time, bio-oil forms …

Highlights•Ethylcellulose oleogel mechanical properties can be tailored to match those of
fat.•Wax oleogels are easy to prepare and derived from natural sources.•Structured …

Electrosprayed polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles are widely used in medical tissue
engineering, drug control release delivery, and food packaging due to their prominent …
