Figure 9 Solid fat index (SFI) of cocoa butter, palm kernel stearine, <strong>and</strong> Laurical: 38%<br />

laurate canola as a function of IV (circles, IV 17; triangles, IV 37) compared to palm kernel<br />

stearine (diamonds) with an IV of 7 <strong>and</strong> cocoa butter (squares) with an IV of 34.<br />

the use of this new fat in confectionery was knowledge of its crystallization properties.<br />

Most lauric fats used in this application crystallize in the � form, without the<br />

need to go through any elaborate tempering step during the processing of the coating<br />

mass. Through X-ray crystallography, we were able to show that laurate canola<br />

crystallizes predominantly into a �� crystal. With this knowledge, we then evaluated<br />

the product in a st<strong>and</strong>ard confectionery coating formulation (Table 7) versus com-<br />
