The glass temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) of ethyl cellulose (EC) and cooling methods of oleogels which effected on the mechanical properties and oxidation characteristics of the gel were studied. Meanwhile, the relationship between hydrogen bonding and oxidative stability of EC oleogels were described. The results showed that the oleogels prepared at the glass temperature (135 ℃) and melting temperature (187 ℃) of EC (EC with viscosity of 40~50 mPa·s) all had solid-like behavior. Compared with Tg, the storage modulus and texture properties of samples prepared at Tm were higher. After stored at 25 ℃ for 30 days, the headspace oxygen consumption of the Tm sample was 0.71%. Polarization microscope and scanning electron microscope showed that EC could be better dissolved in the oil phase when oleogels prepared at Tm, and the gel network structure was more compact. The pore diameter of the oil droplets was 38.56% of the Tg. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the hydroxyl stretching vibration peaks of EC oleogels prepared at Tg and Tm shifted from 3 472.48 cm-1 to 3 468.48 cm-1, which implied the hydrogen bond effect was enhanced. With the addition of EC from 4% to 10%, the headspace oxygen consumption decreased with the increase of the addition of EC. Compared with the fast cooling sample of 10%EC, the headspace oxygen consumption of the slow cooling sample was only 64.67% of it, and the hydroxyl stretching vibration peak shifted from 3 499.74 cm-1 to 3 471.78 cm-1 which showed the hydrogen bond effect was enhanced. The results showed that the enhancement of the hydrogen bonding during the preparation of EC oleogels formed a denser liquid crystal network structure and reduced the oxidation rate of the oleogels.
