Chocolate is a food product produced with the help of milk and cocoa beans and is consumed in both candy and syrup form. Chocolate syrups are used to make beverages such as chocolate shakes, cold chocolate coffee, hot chocolate, etc. It is an excellent source of quick energy as it is rich in carbohydrates. It contains stimulating alkaloids like caffeine and theobromine that help create a positive impact on mood and increase overall alertness.
Chocolate is a versatile ingredient used in various food products and beverages and has numerous health benefits. It acts as a taste enhancer and has good physiological and potential health benefits, which include lowering of blood pressure, vascular functions, oxidation processes, and lipid metabolism. It is one of the best-selling flavours in the market and is used across many dairy products, such as flavoured milk, ice cream, cakes, pastries, coffee, candy etc.
The production of chocolate involves a multi-step process. Firstly, bean pulp is extracted, followed by anaerobic fermentation without oxygen, where yeast and bacteria convert carbohydrate into lactic acid. Next, the beans are dried and roasted to separate the beans from the outer shell. Chocolate liquor is grounded through the nibs, which contain cocoa solids and butter. The chocolate liquor is then mixed with additional ingredients like milk and flavourings, to refine texture and flavour. Heat is applied during this process, which can take few hours to three days. After these processes, tempering takes place to shape and introduce the final product.
