article_snippet.sent: Now Professor ’ Professor Guiltinan and ’ Professor Guiltinan team have discovered that a single gene - TcSAD1 – in the SAD family, is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter.
article_snippet.sent: We used state-of-the-art plant science techniques to gain evidence for the role of the SAD1 gene in cocoa butter biosynthesis,’ ’ Professor Guiltinan explained.

article_snippet.sent: his said a single gene - TcSAD1 – in the SAD family, is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter could lead to new types of chocolate, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
article_snippet.sent: ‘An important part of this process is the activity of an enzyme produced by the SAD1 gene that creates a special double bond critical in determining the melting point of chocolate that is very close to the human body temperature and makes cocoa butter quite unique.
