Arishima and McBrayer (2002) added crystallization accelerators
or seeding agents to compounds products formulated with palm
kernel stearin and observed an acceleration in the crystallization
of chocolates, stability to fat bloom formation with easy
demolding of the compound. Verstringe, Dewettinck, Ueno, and
Sato (2014) showed that morphology of the palm oil crystals
were oriented by crystallized monopalmitin additives and the
palmitic acid present in both lipids phases played decisive roles in
a template effect. Hard fats from palm oil, cottonseed oil, soybean
oil and crambe oil were used with success to modulate the
crystallization kinetics and thermal behavior of cocoa butter
