Processed products such as margarines and shortenings, rich in
palm oil may present slow crystallization rates and critical posthardening
effects due to its glyceride composition, especially high
content of partial glycerides (Sue & Pantzaris, 2009). Monoacylglycerols
are present at concentrations below 1 g/100 g, but
diacylglycerols (DAGs) are found at levels of 5e8 g/100 g and may
influence the crystallization history, delaying the crystallization
rate of industrial palm oil
