Chapter 8: Modifying Chocolate's Eating Properties Check Access

Chocolate itself is sold in many flavours, and also with different recipes/ingredients for people with special dietary needs. In addition, there are particular formulations for ice-cream coatings and for chocolate with shape-retaining properties for sale in hot climates. Good chocolate can only be made using high quality cocoa beans. The processing is of equal importance as it must be correctly carried out, so as to get the best possible product and not spoil the ingredients. This chapter investigates the modifications of chocolate needed to provide the optimum flavour and product to meet the needs of the consumer.
