Kokum Butter

Kokum Butter (Kokum fat) is extracted from Kokum nuts (Garcinia indica). The Kokum fruit grows in the evergreen forests of the Western Ghats. We procure them through the local collectors in Raigad, Konkan districts of Maharashtra, and Goa. The Kokum seeds are available from September to December. Kokum Fat increases the hardness of chocolates and is used in various confectionaries. It is a very important component for filling and used as an alternative fat in cosmetics. It is also used in the manufacture of soap, cosmetics, candles and ointments. When mixed with Mowrah stearine and PMF, this fat can be used to produce Cocoa Butter Equivalents (CBE).
