Physico-chemical properties of various palm-based diacylglycerol oils in comparison with their corresponding palm-based oils

► Palm-based diacylglycerols (P-DAGs) as compared to palm-based oils have different chemical properties. ► P-DAGs have less steep SFC profiles with higher complete melting temperatures. ► P-DAGs have higher crystallization onset, heat of fusion and heat of crystallisation. The crystal forms of P-DAGs are mostly β.
