Food Lipids: Chemistry, Nutrition, and Biotechnology

Clearly, the compositional complexity of commercial cocoa butter complicates
our understanding of its crystallization and polymorphic transitions. However, the
phenomena observed with pure phospholipids in cocoa butter may be of general use
in the fats and oils industry with regard to the control and manipulation of solidification
during processing.
