This book covers the progress of the last 10 years of studies on cocoa butter. Descriptions of several aspects, including physical characteristics such as rheology, hardness, melt profiles, etc., studied by new and advanced techniques are included. Similarly, the polymorphism of cocoa butter is reconsidered in light of studies done by synchrotron DSC, FTIR, and SAXS techniques. These data are complemented by new understandings on the cause of the crystallization and transitions of the polymorphs. Other aspects such as the effect of minor components, emulsifiers, and other fats are discussed in great detail in this book. - Brings together all that is known about cocoa butter into one book - Describes physical characteristics of cocoa butter including rheology, hardness, and melt profiles - Reconsiders polymorphism of cocoa butter in light of recent studies by various analytical techniques - Presents new understandings on the cause of crystallization and transitions of polymorphs
A fundamental understanding of the physical properties of fats, oils, and emulsifiers is essential to help the food processing industry meet consumer needs for quality foods with improved nutritional properties at a minimal cost. Food scientists, product development technologists, and food processors will be interested in this overview of both the fundamentals of fat crystallization and the application of those fundamental principles of food systems. This book was developed from papers that were presented at the conference on "The Physical Properties of Fats, Oils, and Emulsifiers with Application to Foods".

Annotation The crystallization and solidification properties of lipids influence their functional properties in biological systems, foods, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and oleo chemicals. To help its members and others optimize products or systems containing lipids, the American Oil Chemists Society devoted its 2000 conference, held in Toronto, to the fundamental principles of lipid crystallization. The resulting 20 papers discuss phase behavior and polymorphism, lipid crystallization kinetics, microstructure and rheology, and crystallization in emulsions. They also consider applications to dairy systems, manufacturing chocolate confection, and the texture of fats. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
