Abstract [en]
Wetting of fat crystals has been extensively examined in this work by contact angle (0) measurements of fat crystal, oil, and water in three-phase contact. Contact angle was measured in oil. The crystals were nonpolar and wetted by oil for a contact angle equal to 0°, and polar and wetted by water for an angle equal to 180°. Fat crystals are expected to contribute to the stability of margarine emulsions if they are preferentially wetted by the oil phase (0° c 0 < 90°), but result in instability if they are preferentially wetted by the water phase (90°
