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.

    FSHN 07-08 What’s in Your Tropical Fruit?1 Susan S. Percival and Brooke Findley2 Florida ranked ninth in the nation for total cash receipts from fruit, with nearly 28% of this from field crops and other crops not including vegetables. Additionally, Florida’s top export is fruit; in 2003, Florida ranked second in the nation in fruit exports (3). Since the production of tropical fruits is an important part of the economy of the state, highlighting the nutritional benefits of these fruits enhances their marketability and appeal. However, the lack of comprehensive information about the nutritional properties of these foods presents a challenge. The purpose of this publication is to evaluate the current information available on the nutrient composition of Figure 1. Tropical Fruit Day (2005). tropical fruits.

  • 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 %).
