Influence of Fat Oil Binding Capacity on Shelf‐Life and Consumer Acceptance of a Chocolate‐Based Model System

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In chocolate‐coated products, oil migration can lead to chocolate softening and discoloration, filling hardening, and reduced consumer acceptance. This study examined three fats (soy‐, palm‐, and palm‐kernel (PK) based), crystallized under different conditions (cooling rate and high intensity ultrasound (HIU)) with differing oil binding ...

Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.

A Tale of Two Cities: Australian Evidence on the Effects of Lockdown on Grocery Inflation

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on the economic implications of COVID‐19, the inflationary consequences of lockdown remain underexplored. Prior impact assessments may be compromised due to the cross‐jurisdictional presence of lockdowns and the prevalence of the coronavirus.

Protein Decoys, Alcohol, and Energy Intake: Testing a Mechanistic‐Ecological Model

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultra‐processed diets are associated with excessive energy intake, but studies examining the role of alcohol have produced conflicting results, despite the high energy density of ethanol. We constructed a mechanistic‐ecological model to explain this inconsistency and tested its predictions using population dietary data.

Small Midges, Major Consequences: Partial Declines in Cocoa Pollination and Their Economic Impact in West Africa and Beyond

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa production forms the backbone of West Africa's agricultural economy, sustaining smallholder farmers whose livelihoods depend on stable yields. Critical to these yields is the provision of pollination services by a few key species, notably, the minuscule Forcipomyia spp.

Physicochemical and oxidative stability of indigenous traditional tengkawang butter as potential cocoa butter equivalent (CBE)

International Journal of Food Properties, 2022
This study identified the quality, physicochemical properties, and oxidation stability of tengkawang butter (TB) from indigenous plants in various areas of Kalimantan, Indonesia. The fatty acid profile was dominated by palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid. Acidity ranged from 6.88 to 15.94%, while the peroxide number was 0.41 and 8.27 meq O2/kg.

Contribution of Free Fatty Acids to Emulsion Building and Stability: Understanding the Mechanism From the Case Study of a Crude Red Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis)—Based Emulsion Consumed in Africa and Known as Achu Soup/Sauce Jaune/Ncha

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 222-235, June 2026.
In an aqueous alkaline medium, fatty acids (from the hydrolysis of triglycerides or freely present in the oil) are ionised in order to form emulsifiers (carboxylates) which will physically stabilise the prepared emulsion. The higher the free fatty acids content of the oil and alkalinity of the solution, the higher will be the stability of the prepared ...
