About the material
CBS is a lauric fat, produced principally from palm kernel oil, and that single fact drives most of its behaviour on a production line. Lauric fats crystallise spontaneously in the stable β′ form, which is why CBS does not require tempering. Cocoa butter can crystallise into any of six polymorphs, only one of which gives the snap and gloss a confectioner wants, and reaching it needs a controlled temperature cycle.
The trade-off is compatibility. CBS is chemically different from cocoa butter and can be blended with it only to a limited extent before melting behaviour and rheology shift. Where full compatibility with cocoa butter is required, the alternative is a cocoa butter equivalent built from symmetric SUS triglycerides, at a materially higher price.
Typical applications
- Compound chocolate coatings and enrobing
