Beeswax (BW) is widely used in structured oil to mimic fat crystals, due to its needle-like crystal structure and effective gelling ability. In this study, the crystallization behavior of BW in liquid oil was analyzed at different cooling temperatures and BW concentrations. Results showed that tempe...
