  • Oat Milk Chocolate Bars
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Amy Crowley 513-400-2813 [email protected] Endangered Species Chocolate Expands Oat Milk Line into Baking Aisle Launch of Oat Milk Chocolate Chips Gives Bakers a Better Choice INDIANAPOLIS (DATE) – Expanding on its oat milk chocolate offerings, Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC), is launching the first plant-based milk chocolate chip. Made with real, gluten-free oats and 55 percent cocoa, the Oat Milk + Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips are a better alternative with half the sugar of standard baking chips. The new product will be available this month at Whole Foods Market stores and additional retailers nationwide, and online at www.chocolatebar.com. “When we launched the Oat Milk Chocolate Bars earlier this year, the consumer response was overwhelmingly positive to the dairy-free alternative,” said Whitney Bembenick, ESC’s Director of Marketing and Innovation. “Customers love the lower sugar content and the sweet, creamy taste that oat milk brings to the table and with no ingredient substitutes in any of our products it is by far the better-for-you alternative. We wanted to replicate these benefits found in the oat milk chocolate bars and bring them to the baking aisle to change baked goods for the better.” ESC looked at all of the options — from almond to coconut milk — when creating the new offering. Nothing compared to the flavor profile that oat milk provided. Since its launch in January 2020, the Oat Milk Chocolate Bar line has been the most successful new product launch in the company’s history. “We are excited to offer Endangered Species Chocolate’s new baking chips because they offer our customers a new, plant-based chocolate chip option without compromising on flavor,” said Chris Poling Global Baking Buyer at Whole Foods Market.

  • Volatile Changes Caused by Different Factors in Different Types of Chocolate
    Volatile changes caused by different factors in different types of chocolate THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yi-Hsuan Lin, B.S. Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Professor Dr. Sheryl A. Barringer, Advisor Professor Dr. W. James Harper Associate Professor Dr. V.M. (Bala) Balasubramaniam Copyright by Yi-Hsuan Lin 2010 ABSTRACT The volatiles change caused by different factors in different chocolate was analyzed by using SIFT-MS (Selected Flow Tube-Mass Spectrometry). During conching, all volatiles initially increased then decreased in unsweetened dark (UDC), dark (DC), unsweetened milk chocolate (UMC). The greatest rate of volatile loss occurred during the first 28h of conching. The total volatile lost was 72- 79% at 48h, and loss was mostly due to methanol. The percent lost of acetic acid was least, about 16-61%. Most volatiles lost 80-95% during conching, but a few volatiles had low percent lost. In storage study, unsweetened dark chocolate at 4˚C, 25˚C, and 50˚C had higher total volatile concentration than unsweetened milk. Samples at 50˚C showed less loss than at 25˚C and 4˚C in total volatile. The low loss of Strecker aldehydes, heptanal, and nonanal may indicate the occurrence of the Maillard reaction and lipid oxidation. In blooming measurement, cocoa mass, unsweetened dark chocolate, and dark chocolate were analyzed. Acetic acid in bloomed samples was significant lower than unbloomed in UDC, DC, and cocoa mass (CM).

  • Information About Milk Chocolate
    Milk chocolate Webquest a The history of milk chocolate The history of chocolate goes back a long way. Many years ago, the Maya Indians lived in Guatemala in Central America. They moved from Guatemala to the south-central part of Mexico. The Maya Indians took the cacao plant and beans with them. This plant grew in the rain forest. The Mayan people made a powder from the cacao beans. They then made a drink from the cocoa powder. This drink was very bitter and the Mayans used it as a medicine for coughs and fever. Later, the Aztec people began to rule Mexico. They found out about the cocoa drink and New worlds called it ‘xocalatl’. This is where the word chocolate comes from. In the 16th century, the Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus brought the cacao bean back to Europe from his travels. The Spanish added sugar and also vanilla to their cocoa drink. Only rich people could afford to drink cocoa. In 1795, a company called Joseph Fry & Sons in England used a machine to grind the cacao beans to make the powder. The machine worked by steam. cough Husten afford sich leisten können grind mahlen © Lehrmittelverlag des Kantons Zürich Milk chocolate Webquest 1 b In 1819, François-Louis Cailler returned from Italy after learning how to make chocolate. He opened the first Swiss chocolate factory in Corsier. New worlds In Holland, Dutchman Conrad Van Houten invented a special machine called the cocoa press. The cocoa press squeezed out a liquid from the cocoa nuts. This is called cocoa butter.

  • Chocolate FAQ
    Chocolate FAQ What is chocolate? In the U.S., chocolate we know (Hershey’s, Reese’s etc) are actually NOT chocolate, they are candy. Real chocolate (fine chocolate) contains no more than 5 ingredients usually in this order: 1) Chocolate, cocoa, or cocoa mass (mashed up bean) 2) option: extra cocoa butter 3) granulated cane sugar (more traditional and pure of taste) 4) optional: true vanilla orchid seed pod not "vanillian" not real deal - lumber by product 5) optional: soy lecithin (emulsifier) What does the word “chocolate” mean? (Still in debate, the most cited version) The word Chocolate comes from the Aztec word chocolātl. This word comes from the Mayan word xocolātl meaning "bitter water". Chocolate was drunk bitter by the Aztecs. How did the Aztec and Mayans use chocolate? The Aztec way of making chocolate was very similar to that of the Mayans. Priests presented cocoa beans as offerings to the gods and served cocoa drinks during sacred ceremonies like weddings. Cocoa was used as a gift to the deities, presented at royal burials to ensure comfort in the afterlife. Chocolate was also used as a medicine. All of the areas that were conquered by the Aztecs that grew cocoa beans were ordered to pay them as a tax, or as the Aztecs called it, a "tribute". What is the difference between “cacao” and “cocoa”? "Cacao" is the bean that comes from the cacao tree, which is known by the scientific name of Theobroma cacao. "Cocoa" is what the bean is called after it has been processed. But most people today use the words intertwine-ly.
