Physical interactions between cupuassu and cocoa fats
Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum, Sterculiaceae) is an Amazonian native fruit and nowadays is cultivated only in Amazonian region. The seeds that come to about 16% of the dry weight can be used to derive a cocoa butter like product and the content of fat
