Veronika McLaren (asker) Nov 2, 2010:
@Alison I will probably use "structural make-up" - do you want to post as a suggestion?
Veronika McLaren (asker) Nov 2, 2010:
Thank you, yes, my context is very similar, only the reference is to cocoa butter - but I was not sure whether the "muster" part refers to sampling or the structure/composition. I think you are right.
Alison MacG Nov 2, 2010:
Structure? Structural make-up? The very limited context in view of the ... sections means that only guessing is possible here. For example, are these texts along similar lines?
"Auf Grund des Fettmusters gilt es ebenfalls als hautaffin und findet daher auch heute noch Verwendung in vielen Baby- oder Kinder-Pflegecremes."
The structure of jojoba oil closely resembles that of your own skin sebum, and because of this it has a natural affinity to the skin, and is readily absorbed without making the skin feel greasy or tacky nor does it clog the pores.

structural make-up

Something along those lines - or "structure", perhaps "lipid structure", depending on how the whole sentence works.

Please see discussion section - and thanks, Veronika, for suggesting that I post an answer.

fat pattern

is a possibility but more context is required to be more certain

fat sample

Abstract
The precision of the automated version of the oxidation stability test on oils and fats was investigated. Nine laboratories were involved in this ring test, testing 5 different oil and fat samples of the same origin according to a standard procedure.

Die Genauigkeit des Swift-Stabilitäts-Tests

Es wurde die Präzision der automatisierten Version der Bestimmung der oxidativen Stabilität von Ölen und Fetten untersucht, Die Überprüfung umfaßte einen Ringversuch, an dem neun Laboratorien beteiligt waren, in denen fünf unterschiedliche Öl- und Fettmuster gleicher Provenienz unter Standardbedingungen bestimmt wurden.

oily pattern


'owing to the oily pattern ... this creme will be used' or
'on the strength of the oily pattern ... this creme will be used

e.g.:
This helps to rejuvenate the skin with the more oily pattern.

For those who have combination skin, parts of the face such as the cheeks may be normal or dry, whereas areas such as the forehead, nose and chin can seem oily. This kind of oily pattern is sometimes called a T-zone.

lipid composition

What a pharmacologist/chemist would use to describe the composition.
On the other hand, the context is unclear.
The author might of course also refer to a sample, like Kim Metzger is suggesting.
