Preparing binary mixtures
Binary mixtures were prepared by mixing melted pequi stearin (FPO)
(obtained by dry fractionation at 20C°) with fractionated Kpagnan butter
(FKB) in the ratios of 0:100, 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40,
70:30, 80:20, 90:10, and 100:0 (w/w). The mixtures were heated to 80°C
for 30 minutes to clear the memory of crystallization then solidified at
room temperature (22°C) for 4, 12, and 60 days under static
crystallization, followed by XRD and DSC analysis.
