Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE) - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) is a kind of fat or oil substance used as a substitute for cocoa butter in the food industry, mainly used in chocolate production. It is usually processed from vegetable oils such as palm oil, shea butter or coconut oil through specific processes. CBE is similar to natural cocoa butter in physical properties, with similar texture, mouthfeel and melting characteristics, which can provide a similar sensory experience in chocolate products.

CBE is also quite similar to natural cocoa butter in chemical composition and triglyceride composition, so it can be co - dissolved with natural cocoa butter. In the food standard regulations of some countries, it is stipulated that CBE is allowed to be added to chocolate as long as it does not exceed a certain proportion (such as not more than 15% of the total fat content). It can partially replace natural cocoa butter, reducing the production cost of chocolate to a certain extent, and helping to solve the problems of insufficient supply and high price of natural cocoa butter.There are mainly the following factors driving the growth of the CBE market: First, the demand for chocolate and confectionery products is constantly increasing, while the supply of cocoa butter is limited by factors such as cocoa production, and the price is relatively high. This makes manufacturers motivated to find substitutes for cocoa butter, so CBE has obtained a larger market space. Second, consumers are paying more and more attention to the sustainability and health of products, and are more interested in CBE products derived from sustainable and responsibly sourced raw materials, which also prompts enterprises to develop and use such raw materials.
