We prepared emulsion-filled gels stabilized using octenyl succinic anhydride-modified and pregelatinized maize starch (OSA-PGS). The effect of the oil volume fraction (Φ, 0.05-0.20) and OSA-PGS concentration (3-10% w/v) on the rheological and microstructural properties of the emulsion-filled gels was evaluated.
