In the chocolate and coating industry, the physicochemical parameters of refined palm oil products—such as melting point and color—are much more than simple technical figures: they are the key to formulation processes and, therefore, to a client’s longevity in their portfolio. The certainty and consistency of these parameters not only ensure the ingredient’s performance on the production line but also strengthen the business relationship by providing reliability, a fundamental quality in markets where precision in textures, cooling times, gloss, and melting behavior are decisive for the success of the final product. But achieving this precision requires something more: open communication and a deep understanding of the client’s industrial logic, so that we are able to faithfully interpret and meet their needs and become a coherent and reliable link in their production chain.
Therefore, the exploration and implementation of industrial control mechanisms that guarantee process standardization—ensuring a consistent solids curve, a constant melting point, and a defined color range regardless of the harvest season—represents a true guarantee of quality. Ultimately, quality parameters are nothing more than the tool that confirms that the subsequent industrial process will develop as planned, reducing risks and optimizing costs. Thus, quality ceases to be a promise and becomes a fulfilled commitment, incorporated into the value offering and continuously validated through knowledge shared with the customer.
• Solid curve for chocolate (solid line): with a medium melting point (MMP) between 33–36°C, ideal for chocolates, coatings, and molds that require firmness at room temperature but melt easily in the mouth.
• Curve for bakery and soft coatings (dashed line): with a MMP between 26–30°C, used in fillings, whipped creams, spreads, and coatings that require smoothness and shine.
These curves reflect the importance of precisely controlling the composition and refining process, ensuring consistent technical performance in every application.
