Abstract:In this study, the effects of temperature (22, 24, 26, 28, and 30°C) and strain (0.1%, 1%, and 5%) on cocoa butter (CB) crystallization were investigated by oscillatory test, and the four‐parameter Gompertz model was used to interpret the effect of parameters on pre‐crystallization, nucleation, and crystal growth stages of CB. Lag time and growth rate were calculated using the Gompertz model using time‐dependent storage modulus (G′) data. According to the results, CB crystallization at 26°C with a 1% strain va… Show more
