Over the years, the local focus has expanded and the RCAP currently has over 300 active and associate members throughout the United States and Canada. Today these candy makers and suppliers still share information to maintain a very high quality chocolate and hard candy. The Association holds educational meetings, plant tours, a spring getaway tour and two national candy, gift & gourmet trade shows each year. The History of the Philadelphia National Candy, Gift & Gourmet Show Founded in 1949 by a few local suppliers displaying at Christmas and Easter RCAP meetings, it was an instant success. Housed in Philadelphiaʼs Broadwood Hotel then the Ben Franklin Hotel, the show grew steadily. In 1961 it was moved to the Exhibit Hall of the Sheraton at what is now Philadelphia Suburban Station. Exhibitors numbered 35, some with multiple booths. In 1974, the show celebrated 25 years with the 20 “originals” still in the buyers guide. By the mid-eighties, relocation was critical to accommodate continued expansion and in 1984, the show moved to the Valley Forge Convention Center. By then, 85 exhibitors were showing, many with expanded multi-booth displays. Attendance soared into the thousands and by 1989 fl oor space had doubled again. In 2006, the show moved to The Atlantic City Convention Center in order to accommodate all exhibitors on one show fl oor and provide a destination for attendees to incorporate business, networking opportunities and fun into their visit. In January 2016, the show moved back to the suburban Philadelphia area at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, co-locating along with the Philadelphia Gift Show.

She graduated from the Arcadia University Fine Arts Department in 2011 with a BFA in Painting. After working with standard panting mediums, Kirsten experimented with chocolate. When asked about the challenges of painting with chocolate Kirsten says, “Painting with chocolate is a vastly diff erent process when compared to oil or acrylic paints. Chocolate must be tempered and maintain a specifi c consistency to be workable. Additionally, it dries signifi cantly faster. So you must work quickly which is why it is the most demanding ways to paint.” Since Painting with chocolate, Kirsten has completed numerous works for the RCAP, Candy, Gift & Gourmet Shows and “Hot Chocolate” events raising money for ALS. 4 PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL CANDY GIFT & GOURMET SHOW • www.phillycandyshows.com TABLE OF CONTENTS hiitor Litin Pae SO OS loor Plan Pae Septemer am pm Seminar ent Pae Septemer am pm Full hiitor etail Pae Septemer am pm Produt Spotliht Pae Show Speial Pae hat’ New Pae OOTH 9/11 MEMORIAL September 11, 2018 10:25 AM – Gather for the Memorial 10:28 AM – Moment of Silence 10:30 AM – Playing the Star-Spangled Banner EXHIBITOR LISTING As of 7/31/2018 Abdallah Candies 411 Jacques Torres Chocolate 806 Albanese Confectionery 312 Jelly Belly Candy Company 402 ALS Meltdown Party/Hope Loves Company 622 Kookaburra Licorice Company 813 Alternative Air LLC 101 Life of the Party 323 Asher’s Chocolates 302 Linnea’s Cake & Candy Supplies 211 Aspecialtybox 202 Lucas Candies 606 Barry Callebaut 521 Lucille’s Own Make Candies 308 Birnn Chocolate of Vermont 512 Madelaine Chocolate Company 502 Blommer Chocolate Company 611 Marshmallow MBA 102 Bonart Candy Company 114 MC Publishing Company 106 Burke Candy Inc. 201 Melville Candy Company 801 Buy-Vue Displays 212 Met Speed Label 207 Mid Atlantic Gourmet 510 CakeSafe 805 MOD-PAC Corporation 701 Cargil Cacoa & Chocolate 216 Munane Specialities Inc. 621 Casani Candy Company 301 Northeaast Speicality Foods 410 Celebrations Fun Foods 608 Penn Scale Mfg.

    Tolerance for High Flavanol Cocoa Powder in Semisweet Chocolate

    Nutrients 2013, 5, 2258-2267; doi:10.3390/nu5062258 OPEN ACCESS nutrients ISSN 2072-6643 www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients Article Tolerance for High Flavanol Cocoa Powder in Semisweet Chocolate Meriel L.

Received: 15 April 2013; in revised form: 8 May 2013 / Accepted: 13 June 2013 / Published: 21 June 2013 Abstract: Endogenous polyphenolic compounds in cacao impart both bitter and astringent characteristics to chocolate confections. While an increase in these compounds may be desirable from a health perspective, they are generally incongruent with consumer expectations. Traditionally, chocolate products undergo several processing steps (e.g., fermentation and roasting) that decrease polyphenol content, and thus bitterness. The objective of this study was to estimate group rejection thresholds for increased content of cocoa powder produced from under-fermented cocoa beans in a semisweet chocolate-type confection. The group rejection threshold was equivalent to 80.7% of the non-fat cocoa solids coming from the under-fermented cocoa powder. Contrary to expectations, there were no differences in rejection thresholds when participants were grouped based on their self-reported preference for milk or dark chocolate, indicating that these groups react similarly to an increase in high cocoa flavanol containing cocoa powder.
  • Chocolate Vs Compound

    Chocolate Vs Compound

    BLOMMER CHOCOLATE COMPANY CHOCOLATE VS. COMPOUND CHOCOLAT E Chocolate is derived from the cocoa plant. It is mandated by law to follow a specific recipe or standard of identity. This can be found in 21CFR163. The ingredients and quantities required can be summarized in the following: Sweet Dark Chocolate: must contain greater than 15% chocolate liquor, less than 12% milk solids, and less than 1% emulsifier. Optional ingredients include sugar, flavoring, and additional cocoa butter. Semi-Sweet or Bittersweet Dark Chocolate: must contain greater than 35% chocolate liquor, less than 12% milk solids, and less than 1% emulsifier. Optional ingredients include sugar, flavoring, and additional cocoa butter. Milk Chocolate: must contain greater than 10% chocolate liquor, greater than 12% milk solids, greater than 3.39% milk fat, and less than 1% emulsifier. Optional ingredients include sugar, flavoring, and additional cocoa butter. White Chocolate: Must contain less than 55% sugar, greater than 20% cocoa fat, greater than 14% total milk, of which 3.5% or more must be milk fat, less than 5% whey products, and less than 1.5% emulsifier. Optional ingredients include vanilla. While only milk and dark chocolates must contain chocolate liquor, all chocolate including white chocolate must contain cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is a special fat. In order to retain good sensory qualities, including snap, mouthfeel, and gloss, it must be tempered. COMPOUND If chocolate does not meet the above standard of identity, it must be referred to as compound coating. Compound coating, also known as confectionary coating, is a mixture of sugar, vegetable fat, cocoa powder (in the case of chocolate flavored coating), lecithin, and flavor.
  • Ultrasonic Application As a Potential Alternative to Tempering in Dark Chocolate Manufacturing

    Ultrasonic Application As a Potential Alternative to Tempering in Dark Chocolate Manufacturing

    ULTRASONIC APPLICATION AS A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE TO TEMPERING IN DARK CHOCOLATE MANUFACTURING BY ELIANA ROSALES DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a concentration in Food Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Hao Feng, Chair Professor Nicki J. Engeseth, Director of Research Professor Keith R. Cadwallader Professor Shelly J. Schmidt i Abstract In chocolate manufacturing tempering is crucial; tempering encourages the formation of the appropriate polymorphic form in cocoa butter (Form V) which influences important physical and functional characteristics such as color, texture, gloss and shelf life. Highly sophisticated machinery has been developed to optimize this key process; however conventional systems are still disadvantageous due its high demands of energy, time and space. Chocolate manufacturing industry is continuously trying to improve existing production processes or invent new methods for manufacturing high quality chocolate to improve energy and time efficiency. Ultrasonication technologies have become an efficient tool for large scale commercial applications, such as defoaming, emulsification, extrusion, extraction, waste treatment among others. It also, has been demonstrated that sonication influences crystallization in various lipid sources and could be employed to achieve specific polymorphic conformations. The hypothesis of this research was that sonocrystallization will favor formation of polymorph V, yielding similar quality characteristics to traditional tempered chocolate. The objective was to explore the effects of ultrasound application in dark chocolate formulation and its effects on crystallization using instrumental and sensorial methods. Dark chocolate was formulated, conched, and either tempered or sonicated.

    Welcome to Che: Chocolate Engineering Christi L

    Welcome to ChE: Chocolate Engineering Christi L. Patton, Laura P. Ford, and Daniel W. Crunkleton University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK Abstract An Introduction to Chemical Engineering course must introduce the student to the language of chemical processes as he learns of the many career options. This must be accomplished in a way that is meaningful to a student with minimal technical background and motivating enough to encourage them to return for another semester. The authors have found that food and fun are excellent motivators with chocolate being a distinct favorite. The freshmen at The University of Tulsa learn about chocolate processing and have the opportunity to sample along the way. Groups of students can roast cocoa beans, break the beans apart and separate the edible portion from the husks, grind the beans, separate the cocoa butter from the solids, and attempt to make edible chocolate. Each step presents unique challenges to the students and encourages them to brainstorm ways to automate and scale up the process. The lessons learned during the freshman year are continued as the sophomores are introduced to mass and energy balances. There the emphasis is on the final products: chocolate covered cookies and chocolate covered coffee beans. The students have an opportunity to demonstrate the lessons learned at the annual e-week Open House for middle school students. University students discuss the food processing steps and relate them to chemical engineering processes. Samples of the cocoa beans at different stages of processing are available to see and smell. The middle school students learn about the product specifications for white, milk and dark chocolate then choose a kind to sample.
  • Thermal Behavior Characterization of a Sugar-Based Model System and Commercial Confections Across the Stages of Sugar Cooking

    Thermal Behavior Characterization of a Sugar-Based Model System and Commercial Confections Across the Stages of Sugar Cooking

    THERMAL BEHAVIOR CHARACTERIZATION OF A SUGAR-BASED MODEL SYSTEM AND COMMERCIAL CONFECTIONS ACROSS THE STAGES OF SUGAR COOKING BY MELISSA WANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a concentration in Food Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Shelly J. Schmidt Abstract The stages of sugar cooking, although long-existing and widespread in the confection industry, are lacking in thermal behavior profile descriptions, which are crucial to confection functionality. Thermal behavior parameters, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), are indicative of confection material structure and textural behavior. Tg plays an important role in governing the quality and shelf life of sugar-based confection, and is influenced by moisture content, formulation, and other factors. This study aimed to connect thermal behavior parameters to the stages of sugar cooking. Thus, the objective of this research was to investigate the thermal behavior of the six stages of sugar cooking, as well as representative commercial confections from each stage. A model sugar-based confectionery system was developed and representative commercial confections belonging to each stage of sugar cooking were selected. The model system consisted of a 70:30 ratio of sucrose to corn syrup and a 70:30 ratio of solids to moisture. To investigate the thermal behavior of the stages of sugar cooking, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), moisture content, and water activity analyses were conducted for the model system and representative commercial confections. The average Tg midpoint of the model system increased from thread to hard crack stage, corresponding to loss of water from increased cooking time and temperature.
