Abstract
A method for producing a hard butter fraction useful as a cacao butter substitute from a shea fat by fractionation thereof, which comprises dissolving the shea fat in a low-polar solvent: n-hexane and separating the gummy unsaponifiable substances (gums) which are precipitated at a low temperature (e.g. -30.degree. to 5.degree. C) to give the desired hard butter fraction, by utilizing the difference in the solubilities of the hard butter fraction and the gummy unsaponifiable substances in the solvent.
