Abstract: Abstract: Bigels is a biphasic system consisting of a mixture of hydrogel and oleogel, which has the characteristics of both aqueous phase and organic phase. In recent years, bigels has been widely concerned, and more and more studies have shown that bigels has a wide application prospect in the field of food. This paper briefly reviews the main influencing factors in the preparation of bigels, such as the type of gel, the concentration of gel, the ratio of two phases and the homogenization temperature, and discusses the application of bigels in the delivery of biological activity, 3D food printing, fat replacement, etc.

Key words: Bigels, hydrogel, oleogel, bioactive delivery, 3D food printing, fat replacement
