Abstrakt: We report on the development of a Couette attachment insert for a rheometer, which is designed to split in half, enabling intact sample extraction of cocoa butter crystallized from the melt under known dynamic stress conditions. This cell is capable of producing a sample 1 mm thick. At shear rates of 90–720 s-1 and final temperatures of 18–20 °C it was shown that the sample will completely separate from the cell surface intact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
