Popis: Kinetics of non-isothermal crystallization of coconut-based cholesteryl ester was performed by differentialscanning calorimetry under various heating rates. Different analysis methods were used to describe theprocess of non-isothermal crystallization. The results showed that the Avrami equation could describe thesystem very well. However, the Ozawa analysis failed. A probable reason is the difference in the crystallizationkinetics at high and low relative crystallization. The phase transitions of the coconut-based cholesterylester were also observed through optical polarizing microscopy
