The extent of crystal development of palm oil-based fluid shortening was determined using attenuated total reflectance (ATR) of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The molten fat was cooled, heated and cooled again while agitating at constant speed. Samples for solid fat content (SFC) m...
