This study was carried out to investigate lipid content, melting point, refractive index and fatty acid composition of commercial chocolate and imitation chocolate. Fifty-eight samples for test were 45 of domestics and 13 of foreign in Seoul. The results were as follows ; Mean value of lipid content was 35.1% in chocolate and 31.9% in imitation chocolate, and foreigns were lower than domestics. In melting point of lipid, chocolates and imitation chocolate were 26.4$^{circ}C$ and 27.4$^{circ}C$ as mean value, respectively. Mean value of refractive index of lipid was 1.4560, imitation chocolate of domestic were lower than another. The fatty acid compositions were chiefly consisted of {{{{C_18:1 , C_18 , C_16, C_16:1 and C_18:2. }} The ratio of SFA : MUFA : PUFA in chocolate and limitation chocolate were 8.2 :6.9 :1.0 and 3.1 : 4.3: 1.0 , respectively.
