In-Shower Body Butter Makes Approximately 4 Ounces IN-SHOWER BODY BUTTER MAKES APPROXIMATELY 4 OUNCES Total time: 47–57 minutes Active time: 17 minutes / Set time: 30–40 minutes Equipment: Microwave-safe bowl, measuring spoons, whisk or electric mixer, and container with a lid INSTRUCTIONS 1. Add shea butter and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Mix together. For easier mixing, microwave in 10-second increments until soft enough to mix. Note: There might be some clumps, but they will be whipped out later. 2. Combine all other ingredients into shea butter and coconut oil mixture. 3. Place mixing bowl in the refrigerator without a lid for 30–40 minutes until the mixture forms a soft set. 4. Once thickened, whip for approximately 1 minute or until it reaches the consistency you prefer. 5. Place in a covered container and store in your shower. ★ If the lotion isn’t thick enough, you can put it back in the fridge until it’s the right consistency. ★ Everybody’s skin is different. If shea butter doesn’t work for you, try cocoa butter. If coconut oil doesn’t work, try olive or jojoba oil. Have fun experimenting to make the perfect lotion for your needs! ★ Always remember to test the lotion you make on a small area of your skin to ensure it doesn’t react poorly to any of the ingredients. If a lotion causes a rash or makes your symptoms worsen, stop using it and talk to your doctor. Pro tip: Want to make a larger batch? Feel free to double or triple the recipe, but remember it doesn’t have preservatives. The shelf-life of this recipe will be less than your average store bought product. Essential Oil Caution: if you have a rash or other skin sensitivity or condition, essential oils are considered a fragrance and should be avoided as they might aggravate your symptoms.

Nowadays, X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the most commonly used method to determine the polymorphic state. However, quantification of the different polymorphic forms present in a sample is not straightforward. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is another method which provides information about fat crystallization processes: the different peaks in the DSC spectrum can be coupled to the melting/crystallisation of certain polymorphs. During the last decade, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been proposed as a method to determine, qualitatively and/or quantitatively, the polymorphic forms present in fat samples. In this work, DSC- and NMR-deconvolution methods were evaluated on their ability to determine the polymorphic Citation: Declerck, A.; Nelis, V.; state of cocoa butter, with XRD as a reference method. Cocoa butter was subjected to two different Danthine, S.; Dewettinck, K.; Van der temperature profiles, which enforced cocoa butter crystallization in different polymorphic forms.

Akoh2* 1 Faculty of Agro-Industry, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok, 10520, THAILAND 2 Department of Food Science and Technology, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, 30602, USA Abstract: This study used a rice bran oil solid fat fraction (RBOSF) to produce cocoa butter alternatives via interesterification reaction catalyzed by immobilized lipase (Lipozyme® RM IM) in hexane. Effects of reaction time (6, 12, and 18 h), temperature (55, 60, and 65℃), mole ratios of 3 substrates [RBOSF:palm olein:C18:0 donors (1:1:2, 1:2:3, and 1:2:6)] were determined. The substrate system was dissolved in 3 mL of hexane and 10% of lipase was added. Two sources of C18:0 donors, stearic acid (SAd) and ethyl stearate (ESd) were used. Pancreatic lipase – catalyzed sn-2 positional analysis was also performed on both substrates and structured lipids (interesterification products). Structured lipids (SL) were analyzed by gas – liquid chromatography (G40.35LC) for fatty acid composition. Major fatty acids of RBOSF were C18:1, oleic acid (OA, 41.15±0.01%), C18:2, linoleic acid (LA, 30.05±0.01%) and C16:0, palmitic acid (PA, 22.64±0.01%), respectively. A commercial raw cocoa butter (CB) contained C18:0, stearic acid (SA, 33.13±0.04%), OA (32.52±0.03%), and PA (28.90±0.01%), respectively.

  • Validation of a Method for the Detection of Cocoa Butter Equivalents in Cocoa Butter and Plain Chocolate
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements Food Safety and Quality Unit B-2440 Geel (Belgium) Validation of a Method for the Detection of Cocoa Butter Equivalents in Cocoa Butter and Plain Chocolate Report on the Validation Study Manuela Buchgraber, Elke Anklam 2003 EUR 20685 EN Abstract A European collaborative study has been conducted to validate an analytical procedure for the detection of cocoa butter equivalents in cocoa butter and plain chocolate. In principle the fat is separated by high-resolution gas chromatography into triglyceride fractions according to their acyl-C-numbers, and within a given number, also according to unsaturation. The presence of CBE is detected by linear regression analysis applied to individual triglyceride fractions of the fat analysed. 15 laboratories participated in the validation study. The results of the ring test clearly demonstrated that the applied method performs well with a detection limit of at least 2 % cocoa butter equivalent admixture to cocoa butter corresponding to 0.4 % in chocolate (assumed fat content of chocolate 20 %).

Sugri , J. C. Norman , I. Egyir and P. N. T. Johnson 1Council of Scientific and Industrial Research CSIR-Savanna Agriculture Research Institute, P. O. Box 46, Manga- Bawku, Ghana. 2Department of Crop Science, University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana. 3Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-Food Research Institute, P. O. Box M32, Accra, Ghana. Accepted 30 July, 2010 Over the last few years, the production of plantain has been increasing due to the introduction of some high yielding varieties. Unfortunately, very high post-harvest losses are incurred annually due to lack of appropriate storage technologies. This study evaluated the effect of shea butter as a food-grade wax on the pre-climacteric life and sensory qualities of four plantain varieties (Apem, Apentu, Asamienu and Oniaba). Waxing was achieved by brushing shea butter on fruits surfaces. The fruit diameter before waxing (d1) and after waxing (d2) was measured and the difference (d2-d1) taken as the waxing thickness. Parameters assessed were the uniformity of ripening, gloss quality, incidence of off-flavours and disorders. Waxing thickness of 0.5 and 1 mm resulted in irregular ripening, green-soft disorder and off-flavours. However, thin layer waxing (<0.05mm) prolonged the pre-climacteric life to 22, 20, 17, and 15 days in Apem, Apentu, Oniaba and Asamienu respectively.

  • Production and Marketing of Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter Based Body Pomadesas a Small Scale Business in Ghana
    Asian Journal of Business and Management (ISSN: 2321 - 2802) Volume 03 – Issue 05, October 2015 Production and Marketing of Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter Based Body Pomadesas A Small Scale Business in Ghana Esther Gyedu-Akoto*, Fred Amon-Armah, Emmanuel O.K. Oddoye Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana Ghana *Corresponding author’s email: akua_akoto2004 [AT] yahoo.co.uk ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT--- The purpose of this paper is to assess the pilot-scale production, quality and sale of cocoa butter and shea butter body pomades in Ghana and to highlight the role of regulatory bodies in promoting these products.Cocoa butter- and shea butter-based body pomades were produced and sold to the general public at the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana to determine their economic feasibility. The quality of the products was assessed by the Ghana Standards Authority and the Food and Drugs Authorityas a requirement before putting the products up for sale.Pilot- scale production of the two products was quite profitable and the capital investment put into the business can be paid back after seven years of production, with Benefit Cost Ratio of 1.01 and 14% Internal Rate of Return. Demand for the products was also high due to their good functional properties. Quality assessment of the products showed that they did not contain any harmful materials such as heavy metals and their microbial loads were all below the specification of less than 1.0 x 103.The results suggested that production of cocoa butter and shea butter body pomades could be taken by entrepreneurs as a small-scale enterprise in Ghana.The findings and issues discussed in the paperwill also assist policy makers, development agencies and entrepreneurs to ascertain the appropriate strategy in developing the small and medium-scale enterprise sector for cosmetics in Ghana.
