Resource Materials: 02 Glossary Glossary Chocolate comes in many forms today. Regardless of the end product, processing begins by extracting, fermenting, drying, and roasting the cacao seeds (also called beans), removing the shell and skin, and leaving the tasty nibs. Cacao refers to the unprocessed seeds of the cacao tree. Although the British sometimes use the term cocoa to refer to the plant and its seeds, in the U.S. cocoa usually refers only to the processed product. Chocolate liquor refers to the nibs ground to a smooth, thick liquid or paste. Despite the name, it contains no alcohol–just the fat (cocoa butter) and solids (cocoa) of the cacao seed, in roughly equal proportions. Cocoa butter is the fat contained in the cacao seed. Cocoa is the powdery solid that’s left after most of the cocoa butter is removed from chocolate liquor. Baking chocolate is a solid chocolate made from pure chocolate liquor, no sugar added. Bittersweet and semisweet chocolate are the darkest eating chocolates and have at least 35% chocolate liquor. Sweet dark chocolate contains 15% to 35% chocolate liquor and less than 12% milk solids. It may also contain ingredients like condensed milk, cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla. Milk chocolate is a mixture of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk, sugar, and flavorings. All milk chocolate made in the U.S. contains at least 10% chocolate liquor and 12% whole milk. “Dutched”or “Dutch”chocolate is made from chocolate liquor or cocoa powder that has been treated with alkaline salts to give it a darker color and a milder flavor. The process–which came to be known as “Dutching”–was invented in Holland by the chemist Coenraad Van Houten. White chocolate is a blend of cocoa butter, milk, sugar, and flavorings. It contains no cocoa solids, and many people don’t consider it chocolate at all! copyright 2002 by the Field Museum. All rights reserved. Resource Materials 111.

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. Harwood 1,2, Gregory R. Ziegler 2 and John E. Hayes 1,2,* 1 Sensory Evaluation Center, Department of Food Science, College of Agricultural Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Food Science, College of Agricultural Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-814-863-7129. 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
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 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.

Survey of Commercially Available Chocolate- and Cocoa-Containing Products in the United States
J. Agric. Food Chem. 2009, 57, 9169–9180 9169 DOI:10.1021/jf901821x Survey of Commercially Available Chocolate- and Cocoa-Containing Products in the United States. 2. Comparison of Flavan-3-ol Content with Nonfat Cocoa Solids, Total Polyphenols, and Percent Cacao ,† † § § KENNETH B. MILLER,* W. JEFFREY HURST, NANCY FLANNIGAN, BOXIN OU, # # † C. Y. LEE, NANCY SMITH, AND DAVID A. STUART †The Hershey Center for Health and Nutrition, P.O. Box 805, Hershey, Pennsylvania 17033-0805, §Brunswick Laboratories, 50 Commerce Way, Norton, Massachusetts 02766, and #Department of Food Science and Technology, Cornell University, Geneva, New York 14456 A survey of a broad range of chocolate- and cocoa-containing products marketed in the United States was conducted to provide a more detailed analysis of flavan-3-ol monomers, oligomers, and polymers, which can be grouped into a class of compounds called procyanidins. Samples consisted of the three or four top-selling products within the following six categories: natural cocoa powder, unsweetened baking chocolate, dark chocolate, semisweet baking chips, milk chocolate, and chocolate syrup. Composite samples were characterized for percent fat (%fat), percent nonfat cocoa solids (%NFCS), antioxidant level by ORAC, total polyphenols, epicatechin, catechin, total monomers, and flavan-3-ol oligomers and polymers (procyanidins). On a gram weight basis epicatechin and catechin content of the products follow in decreasing order: cocoa powder > baking chocolate > dark chocolate = baking chips > milk chocolate > chocolate syrup. Analysis of the monomer and oligomer profiles within product categories shows there are two types of profiles: (1) products that have high monomers with decreasing levels of oligomers and (2) products in which the level of dimers is equal to or greater than the monomers.

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.

Chocolate Tasting
OEB 59 – Plants and Human Affairs Lab 7: Chocolate, coffee and tea These are three crops derived from tropical trees that have made their way around the world. Theobroma cacao L. is the plant from which we obtain chocolate, cocoa, and cocoa butter (the expressed oil from the seeds). Coffee beans are derived from Coffea arabica L. Leaves of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze are processed for tea. One of the historical points of interest is that all of these plants were described by Carolus Linneaus. This speaks to the fact that these were well known in the mid-18th Century and were perhaps considered of primary interest in commerce. Part I: Chocolate tasting The percentages on labels of chocolate products refers to the amount of chocolate liquor – the liquid resulting from the ground cacao beans. It is not alcoholic and contains about 53% cocoa butter, the fat from the beans. Unsweetened chocolate – the chocolate liquor is allowed to harden. Used for baking. Bitter sweet chocolate (semisweet, dark chocolate) – Has at least 35% chocolate liquor, cocoa butter and sugar. Sweet chocolate – Has at least 15% chocolate liquor, cocoa butter and sugar. Milk chocolate – Milk (at least 12%) is added to at least 10% chocolate liquor and sugar. White chocolate – No chocolate liquor at all but contains 20% cocoa butter and 14% milk and also sugar. Cocoa – The fat is expelled from the chocolate liquor. After it hardens it is ground into a powder. Types of beans and their quality Forastero The most commonly grown type a mix of various genotypes. Hardy and high yielding.

Cynthia Rohrer The Graduate School University of Wisconsin-Stout December, 2006 The Graduate School University of Wisconsin-Stout Menomonie, WI Author: Kaspar, Kerrie L. Title: Identification and Quantification of Flavanols and Methylxan thines in Chocolates with Different Percentages of Chocolate Liquor Graduate Degree1 Major: MS Food Science and Human Nutrition Research Adviser: Martin Ondrus, Ph.D. MonthNear: December, 2006 Number of Pages: 96 Style Manual Used: American Psychological Association, 5thedition ABSTRACT Chocolate liquor is the source of antioxidant flavanols (catechin and epicatechin) and methylxanthines (caffeine and theobromine) found in dark chocolate. Factors that can influence the flavanol and methylxanthine concentration.of dark chocolate investigated in this study include the amount of chocolate liquor added, alkalization, and cacao bean genus. The purpose of this study was to quantify flavanols and methylxanthines in different dark chocolates from Legacy Chocolates with different weight percentages of chocolate liquor and different cacao bean genera, Criollo and Forastero. Chocolate samples were analyzed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results indicated that the greater the percentage of chocolate liquor added to the final product, the more flavanol antioxidants present. When comparing chocolates with similar weight percentages, the Forastero genus had a significantly greater (p < 0.05) flavanol concentration than the Criollo genus. The Criollo genus resulted in a significantly greater (p < 0.05) caffeine content in dark chocolate when compared to a product prepared with similar weight percentages of chocolate liquor from the Forastero genus.
