Bigels are promising delivery systems for bioactive compounds, combining the properties of hydrogels and oleogels. Pequi carotenoids, characterized by their natural yellow fluorescence, hold potential to replace the artificial dye tartrazine in foods while simultaneously enhancing their functional properties. This study developed food-grade bigels with varying oleogel-to-hydrogel ratios (40%, 60%, 80% OG) to assess the pigmentation capacity of pequi carotenoid extracts. Hydrogel contained agar and xanthan gum, while oleogel comprised beeswax, lecithin, sunflower oil, and 400 mu g/100 g carotenoid extract. Bigel color was analyzed using the CIELAB system. Linear and multiple regression models were applied to assess the influence of crosslinking time (1 vs. 12 h), extraction solvent (acetone vs. [BMIM][BF4]), saponification, and oleogel ratio on color parameters. The color of the carotenoid-enriched bigels was mainly influenced by the extraction solvent and the oleogel ratio, while saponification and crosslinking time had only minor impacts. Although changes in L*, a*, and b* were observed across samples, Delta E* values generally reflected low perceptibility. Notably, more evident color differences were associated with variations in solvent type and oleogel ratio. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how formulation parameters influence the pigmentation behavior and support the development of natural, visually appealing functional foods.
