Abstract
Model chocolates were developed by gradually replacing cocoa powder in the chocolate system (containing 54 g cocoa butter, 66 g cocoa powder, and 0.5 g lecithin) with sucrose with different D90 particle sizes (25.0, 40.3, 61.5, 98.6, and 163.1 µm) by 15, 50, or 75% on a volume basis. Bloom extents were evaluated by changes in whiteness index (ΔWI) and white area percentage (WA%) while surface roughness was quantified using a new 4-neighborhood-pixels model. Reducing sucrose D90 particle sizes at higher volume fraction levels significantly increased particle interactions (quantified by the sedimentation volume and Casson viscosity) and led to enhanced visual bloom and greater surface morphological changes, indicating that the microstructures in the chocolate matrix for fat migration and recrystallization had a significant impact on bloom during storage. Surface morphological characteristics such as increased pores and protrusions confirmed the occurrence of fat migration and recrystallization during bloom formation.
期刊介绍:
Food Structure is the premier international forum devoted to the publication of high-quality original research on food structure. The focus of this journal is on food structure in the context of its relationship with molecular composition, processing and macroscopic properties (e.g., shelf stability, sensory properties, etc.). Manuscripts that only report qualitative findings and micrographs and that lack sound hypothesis-driven, quantitative structure-function research are not accepted. Significance of the research findings for the food science community and/or industry must also be highlighted.
