Melting point of mixed oils

Hi if I mix two oils (melt them, mix evenly, then cool back to room temperature), where the mixture may be. 50% coconut oil ( melting point 24 C ) 50% cocoa bu…

   Oils in general donot have definite melting point, but melt over a range of temperature since they contain triglycerrides, fatty acids and other constituents in it. Regarding the…

   The best way to know the melting point of oil mixtures is to proceed experimentally to the determination of that temperature using DSC analysis. This is a simple and effective way…

   The DSC thermogram will give you two different peaks at the melting point of both oils. You'll probably see a peak at 24 and another at 34 38 degree. That is another way to charac…

   Keep in mind ,coconut fat and cocoa butter are not compatible so why would you mix it for practical application.? Coconut ol is a non tempering lauric fat with sharp melting point…
