Monoacylglycerols of fully hydrogenated palm oil favoured the
formation of b-crystals without leading to the removal of b0-crystals,
which makes it an important inducer of the crystallisation
process of fats in the food industry. Nevertheless, the addition of
tripalmitin and monoacylglycerols of behenic acid as accelerators
of the crystallisation process of palm oil, leading to b-crystal formation,
may be very important in the chocolate industry, where
this type of crystal is desired.
