I would also like to thank Associate Prof. Lilia Ahrné for her assistance and guidance, especially when it comes to mathematics of diffusion. Thank you for your trust and giving me the opportunity to do my diploma work at SIK. Sincere thanks goes to Prof. Krister Holmberg who agreed to be my examiner on such a short notice and who gave me valuable advice with my report. Thanks to all my co-workers at Process and Technology Development department at SIK, who made my stay at SIK a very enjoyable experience. Special thanks to: Loredana Malafronte for her help and discussions during the mathematical modeling as well as teaching me how to use Comsol MultiPhysics, Lovisa Eliasson for her help with the experimental equipment and Sven Isaksson for his helpful input in Matlab programing. At last, genuine thanks to my family: my parents, Edin and Fatima and my brother Amar, always loving and supporting. Special thanks to my girlfriend Parvin for all the love and encouragement during this time.

The aim of this study was to develop mathematical models that describe moisture diffusion through dark chocolate. The diffusion coefficient and different diffusion mechanisms were studied, such as Fickian and non-Fickian diffusion. Structural parameters such as swelling kinetics were taken into account. A total of five models were developed with an increasing complexity and varying boundary conditions. Matlab was used to model where an analytical

Oui, grâce aux chocolatiers, Bruxelles s’est faite une répu- tation telle que les amateurs s’y pressent comme des enfants dans une fabuleuse chocolaterie. Les pralines, tellement variées, tellement fondantes, tellement ori- ginales. Les tablettes où les arômes les plus surpre- nants se mêlent aux cacaos les plus exclusifs. Mais aussi les bouchées, les truffes, les pâtes à tartiner, les bonbons, le chocolat de couverture et la pâtisserie au chocolat !

A cet instant, personne ne sait encore qu’elles seront d’une importance capitale dans le commerce international. A l’époque, elles étaient utilisées comme moyen de payement. Vingt-six ans plus tard, Cortés, conquistador espagnol, rentra en Espagne avec un chargement de fèves, du matériel de transformation et la recette de fabrication du chocolat, mais il fallut attendre 1580 pour que la première chocolaterie soit créée sur le sol ibérique.

  • A Study on Synchronizing of Visual Design and Taste from Chocolate Form
    A Study on Synchronizing of Visual Design and Taste from Chocolate Form Ting-Ting Hsu *, Jenn-Yang Lin **, Min-Yuan Ma*** * National Cheng Kung University, [email protected] ** Nanhua University, [email protected] ** National Cheng Kung University, [email protected] Abstract: The material life in nowadays is abundant and even overflowing. The basic living needs of customers have already been fulfilled. What we need in our life become less and less, but to look from the sight of the five senses, then what we want are still plenty. That is why the marketing of products always emphasized what they can make people feel in sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. And chocolate, is now acting as an experience of psychical enjoyment instead of foodstuffs of physiology needs. How does a chocolate look, smell, touch, taste, and even its sound of breaking up, all these feeling can make the experience of having a chocolate more delicious and impressive. The main purpose of this study is to find out the relation between the visual shape of chocolates and the experiential memory of taste. Through literature and marketing survey, we classified the factors of chocolates visual design, including color, shape, surface and decoration, and then sifted the appropriate samples of chocolates for questionnaire. Questionnaire will be the main form to collect the data to help us to understand the preference of chocolates visual design and taste for consumers. The findings indicate that the chocolates with dark colors make us feel bitter, and those with light colors especially the color close to yellow will make us feel much sweeter.
