This work reviews the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a tool to investigate oleogels of edible triglyceride oils. Specific attention is given to those oleogels based on phytosterols and their esters, a class of material the authors have studied extensively. This work consists of a summary of the role of AFM in imaging edible oleogels, including the processing and preparation steps required to obtain high-quality AFM images of them. Finally, there is a comparison between AFM and other techniques that may be used to obtain structural information from oleogel samples. The aim of this review is to provide a useful introduction and summary of the technique for researchers in the fields of gels and food sciences looking to perform AFM measurements on edible oleogels.
本文综述了原子力显微镜（AFM）作为研究食用甘油三酯油类油凝胶的工具的应用。特别关注了基于植物甾醇及其酯类的油凝胶，作者对这类材料进行了广泛研究。本文总结了AFM在可食用油凝胶成像中的作用，包括获得其高质量AFM图像所需的处理和制备步骤。最后，对AFM与其他可用于从油凝胶样品获取结构信息的技术进行了比较。本综述的目的是为凝胶和食品科学领域中希望对可食用油凝胶进行AFM测量的研究人员提供该技术的有用介绍和总结。
