Despite the high number of studies using those ingredients in oily systems, there is scarce literature using a mixture of oil and antioxidants. Vitamin E (VE) is an important candidate for its lipophilicity and several applications on pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries. In this work, we investigated the influences of mixtures between vegetable oil (VO) and VE on the microstructures and rheological properties of CW and 12HSA organogels. A weak gel (G\u2032\u2032\/G\u2032 &gt; 0.1) with a shear-thinning behavior was observed for all samples. The presence of VE impacted the gel strength and the phase transition temperatures in a dose-dependent pattern. Larger and denser packed crystals were seen for 12HSA samples, while smaller and more dispersed structures were obtained for CW organogels. The results obtained in this work allowed the correlation of the structural and mechanical properties of the organogels, which plays an important role in the physical-chemical characteristics of these materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/gels8010036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,6]],"date-time":"2022-01-06T03:41:32Z","timestamp":1641440492000},"page":"36","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Influence of the Mixtures of Vegetable Oil and Vitamin E over the Microstructure and Rheology of Organogels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7643-871X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renata Miliani","family":"Martinez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Pedro Leonidas","family":"Oseliero Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Physics Institute, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Barbara Bianca","family":"Gerbelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Natural and Human Sciences, Federal University of ABC, Santo Andre\u0301 09210-170, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Wagner Vidal","family":"Magalh\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research & Development Laboratory-Chemyunion Ltd., Sorocaba 18103-065, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4950-8510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Val\u00e9ria Robles","family":"Velasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Suzana Caetano","family":"da Silva Lannes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Cristiano Luis Pinto","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Physics, Physics Institute, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6429-6213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina","family":"Rosado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS\u2014Universidade Lus\u00f3fona\u2019s Research Center for Biosciences and Health Technologies, 1749-024 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9197-3024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9 Rolim","family":"Baby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jconrel.2017.12.019","article-title":"Organogels, promising drug delivery systems: An update of state-of-the-art and recent applications","volume":"271","author":"Esposito","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
