Determination of milk fat and cocoa butter equivalents in milk chocolate
An analytical approach for the determination of milk fat and cocoa butter equivalents in milk chocolate is presented. By performing a single triacylglycerol analysis using gas liquid chromatography several useful pieces of information can be determined, i.e., (i) the milk fat content of the chocolate sample, (ii) the contribution of triacylglycerols originating from milk fat, (iii) the presence...
متن کاملDevelopment of a rapid method for the detection of cocoa butter equivalents in mixtures with cocoa butter.
A simple and rapid gas chromatographic (GC) method was developed for the detection of cocoa butter equivalents (CBEs) in cocoa buffer (CB). It is based on the use of a 5 m nonpolar capillary column for the separation of the main triglycerides of CB according to their acyl/carbon numbers. The GC procedure was optimized to avoid thermal degradation of the triglycerides. By computing the ratio C54...
متن کاملHigh internal phase agar hydrogel dispersions in cocoa butter and chocolate as a route towards reducing fat content.
Reducing the fat content of chocolate formulations is a major challenge for the confectionery industry. We report the suspension of aqueous microgel agar particles of up to 80% v/v within sunflower oil, cocoa butter, and ultimately chocolate. The optimised emulsification process involves a shear-cooling step. We demonstrate the versatility of our method when applied to white, milk, and dark cho...
متن کاملMangifera sylvatica (Wild Mango): A new cocoa butter alternative
Cocoa butter is the pure butter extracted from cocoa beans and is a major ingredient in the chocolate industry. Global production of cocoa is in decline due to crop failure, diseases and ageing plantations, leading to price fluctuations and the necessity for the industry to find high quality cocoa butter alternatives. This study explored the potential of a wild mango (Mangifera sylvatica), an u...
متن کاملEffect of Sorbitan Monoesters Addition on the Crystallization and Polymorphic Behavior of Cocoa Butter
Crystallization behavior of fats and oils is an important structuration characteristic when developing products with desirable and stable microstructure, texture and quality during processing and storage. Depending on the lipid matrix composition and on the production process, different crystalline network will be formed, with specific physicochemical properties. Therefore, the crystallization ...
