Abstract
Mixtures of milk fat or milk fat fractions, produced by melt crystallization, and cocoa butter were studied using isothermal calorimetry. Crystallization of cocoa butter (at 15, 20 and 25‡C) was observed, and induction time for nucleation, peak time and amount of heat produced were recorded. Melting profiles and X-ray spectra were also obtained, yielding information about extent of crystallization and type of polymorph obtained. Induction time for nucleation generally increased with increasing temperature. Peak time increased at 15‡C, but decreased at 20‡C. Amount of crystallized fat decreased with increasing level of milk fat.
