Abstract
Mixtures of cocoa butter with different replacers, added at different level s, were prepared. From their properties, and particularly solid fat index, helped much in selecting the more suitable mixture for local chocolate prod uction. It was found that cocoa butter-Illexao mixtures, at levels 10% and 15% replacer, gave more satisfactory results with respect to mouthfeel, har dness and brittleness.
