Brief Overview 

Cocoa butter is vegetable fat in the pale yellow-colored solid form. It is edible and mostly used in chocolates, soap, and cosmetic products. It is extracted from cocoa beans. It contains saturated fatty acids mainly derived from stearic acid and palmitic acid. It also contains some unsaturated acids such as oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, and linoleic acid. It is rich in vitamin E, helps restore the skin's elasticity, and prevents stretch marks. It possesses the characteristic of polymorphism, with four different crystal forms having different melting points, which is useful for chocolate making.
