In the search for economical cocoa butter alternatives, palm and lauric oils have emerged as important source oils in the development of hard butters. Based on the method presented for categorizing hard butters, the lauric oils, primarily palm kernel and coconut, can be modified by interesterification and hydrogenated to yield lauric cocoa butter substitutes (CBS) which are both good eating and inexpensive. Fractionation, although adding to the cost of production, can provide lauric hard butter with eating qualities virtually identical to cocoa butter. Unfortunately, one factor identified with the lauric oils is their very low tolerance for cocoa butter. |
