Effect of different derivatives of paraffin waxes on crystallization of eutectic mixture of cocoa butter-coconut oil.

ABSTRACT: Paraffin wax is a mixture of numerous unbranched hydrocarbons used frequently for various purposes: to improve the shelf life of products containing lipid system and develop more shiny products. However, because of its complex nature, the effect of such molecular structure on the solid phase behavior of lipids is hardly unstated. Hence in our study, we focus on understanding the impact of derivatives of paraffin wax on the lipid system. In the current work, three unbranched derivatives of paraffin wax: Eicosane C (20), Pentacosane C (25) and Triacontane C (30) were selected as additives. These n-alkanes are specifically added to the eutectic mixture of cocoa butter (CB) and coconut oil (CO) (E_CB-CO) to observe the effect on thermal, morphological, rheological properties and crys
