In vitro production of cocoa seed lipids
Asexual embryos of Theobroma cacao L. (cacao), initiated from zygotic embryos and grown in nutrient medium with increasing sucrose concentrations, synthesized lipids with fatty acid and triglyceride composition similar to those of zygotic embryos maturing in vitro. Oleo-palmitostearin, the major triglyceride in cocoa butter, was identified in developing asexual embryos cultured in vitro. In vitro culture of asexual embryos of cacao may be a feasible system for the production of cocoa butter
