Two methods are discussed to make oleogels with proteins.
•
Protein oleogels with wide range of properties can be prepared.
•
Interactions between proteins determine rheological characteristics.
This review focusses on the latest developments in the field of oil structuring with respect to the use of proteins as an oil structurant. Different methods to develop protein oleogels will be discussed, and relevant interactions within these systems will be discussed in terms of the mechanical properties of the protein oleogels.
