- 1.1 Semisolid Fats Foods like margarine, butter and chocolate consist of semisolid fat, in a continuous phase, which determines the product properties such as consistency and stability. Semisolid fat consists of colloidal fat crystals, with high melting points, dispersed in a liquid oil with a low melting point. Most natural fats demonstrate a broad spectrum of melting points such that small to moderate variations in temperature may start melting or postcrystalization processes of some components. Extensive changes in product character and quality occur as a result. These changes may be especially critical for low fat foods where the amount of fat and/or saturated (solid) fat is close to the necessary limit for creating proper texture and stability. 1.2 Adhesion Sources Crystals in semisolid fat form a network due to mutual adhesion in which adhesion strength determines structure and consistency. Dispersion (van der Waals) forces are not strong enough to account for the network strength observed experimentally [1]. Therefore, other adhesive forces, for example water bridges, must occur [2]. Formation of water bridges results in as an increase in the yield value of semisolid fat upon the addition of small amounts of water (figure 1).

- The influence of low concentrations (0.1-5%) of fat crystals on the stability of water-in-soybean oil emulsions was examined by light scattering and sedimentation experiments. Both initial flocculation/coalescence rate and long term stability against water separation were determined. The initial flocculation/coalescence rate increased upon addition of very small amounts of fat crystals. When the crystal concentration was increased over a critical concentration (specific to a system), a decrease in the flocculation/ coalescence rate occurred. The increased flocculation/ coalescence rate is likely the effect of bridgening of water droplets by fat crystals. Fat crystal wetting by water is an important criterion for this phenomenon to occur. Emulsion stabilization for crystal concentrations over critical is caused by a mechanical screening of water droplets. The presence of considerable amounts of crystals in oil also lowered the density difference between droplet and medium, and enhanced viscosity. The degree of increase in viscosity depended upon emulsifier. Both decrease in density difference and increase in viscosity play a role in hindering flocculation/ coalescence of droplets. In long term studies of water separation, all concentrations of fat crystals stabilized the w/o emulsions. The droplet size of these emulsions increased likewise until the critical droplet size was approached, when the screening effect of crystals on droplets stabilized the emulsions. The stabilizing effect for emulsions with monoolein was continuously improved by increasing the amount of crystals up to 5%. For lecithin stabilized emulsions, an optimal effect was achieved for fat crystal concentrations of 1-2%.

Wetting of fat crystals by triglyceride oil and water. 1. The effect of additives

- 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°

Den öppna kroppen och det låsta könet. : Den symboliska och dynamiska kroppen, speglad mot psykiatrisk konstruktion av transsexualitet

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article wishes to contribute to an understanding of the body as a potential category of transformation, which requires a perspective that moves away from thinking the body as ”locked”, unambiguous and pre-socially "given". Throughout the article an analytic perspective is held that understands the body as ”open” and ambiguous, a dynamic body that is at the same time both created and creating, both interpreted and interpreting, both determined and determining; a (discursively and socially constructed) body able to pose resistance. Via an analysis of Swedish psychiatric literature on transsexualism, the article examines the relationship between the ”open” body and the ”locked” gender. The authors claim that psychiatric assessment of transsexual individuals is based on an implicit and explicit assumption of a necessary correspondence between ”inside” - here core gender identity - and ”outside” - here gender role and the (changed) body - which can be traced back to the Western modernity project. The dynamic body is also a symbolic body, which means that the body is a source of production of a continuous stream of symbols, and symbols constantly interpret and transform the bodily. The article relates the symbolic body to the question of identity, i.e. the task of the symbolic body to signal - according to the logic of correspondence - that the carrier of the body ”inside” is a ”true” and ”proper” woman or man. The article concludes in putting forward the question if it is possible for the dynamic - ambiguous and protesting - body to guarantee correspondence with a possible ”inside”. If not, the demand for consistency will be questioned and mechanisms of power may become visible when they can no longer be camouflaged behind the ”natural” cover of the ”two sex-model”.
