MAKEND�° CBS 355E is a hydrogenated and fractionated Palm Kernel Oil based Cocoa Butter Substitute (CBS) with very sharp melting profile thus providing excellent mouthfeel.
PACKING:
20kg or 25kg cartons with PE liners.
SHELF LIFE:

Cocoa butter substitutes (CBS) are vegetable fats used to replace cocoa butter in chocolate and confectionery products. They are typically made from lauric acid oils like coconut or palm kernel oil. A key specification for CBS is that they are not compatible with cocoa butter and are used to completely replace it. Specifics include a slip melting point of 33-35�°C, a maximum iodine value of 1.0, and a maximum free fatty acid content (as lauric acid) of 0.1%.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
Slip Melting Point: The range is typically 33-35�°C.
Iodine Value: A maximum of 1.0 (Wijs) is generally specified.
Free Fatty Acid (FFA): Maximum of 0.1% (as lauric acid).
Moisture and Impurities: A maximum of 0.1%.
Saponification Value: Typically between 240 and 260.
Color: Can be white or pale yellow.
Appearance: Should be white or pale yellow with a bland flavor and no odor.
Solid Fat Content: While not a universal specification, some patents mention solid fat content at various temperatures, for example, 35-60% at 10�°C, according to WO2013132284A1.
