Jelly like cocoa butter

Hi, would like to know what causes the cocoa butter to turn cloudy and have a jelly like appearance. They jelly remains even when the cocoa butter is heat up to 100c for 30 mins.
Can fluctuation of storage temperature cause such defects ?

Why do you overheat cocoa butter? It has 6 polymorphic forms.If you overheat it will destroy its crystallization properties. Thats the cause of jelly like consistency.
