Chocolate is a non-Newtonian substance, and such substance has different viscosities at different shear rates. Rheological evaluations have become indispensable instruments for characterizing final chocolate, forecasting product efficiency and consumer acceptance. During production, the different steps depend on a well-defined viscosity and yield stress. Furthermore, the characteristics of the final chocolate (the surface and mouth-feel) are directly related to the chocolate's viscous behavior. There is a demand for better understanding the variables affecting chocolates flow behavior. Current research realized great insight into the chocolate flow behavior in different processes such as refining, conching, and tempering. Also, the influence of formulation and particle characteristics on flow behavior of the intermediate product and the final product were discussed. Each stage of the production process: mixing, refining, conching and tempering involves modifications of macroscopic characteristics of the chocolate ingredients thus affecting the rheological attributes of the final product. Particle size distribution and ingredient composition play substantial roles in shaping its flow behavior and sensory perception. The rheological properties of chocolate provide substantial information for food scientists to improve and optimize their products and manufacturing processes. Nowadays, a thorough understanding of chocolate flow behavior is a necessity for food scientists and industry.
巧克力是非牛顿物质,在不同的剪切速率下具有不同的黏度。流变学评估已成为表征最终巧克力、预测产品效率和消费者接受度的不可或缺的工具。在生产过程中,不同的步骤取决于明确的黏度和屈服应力。此外,最终巧克力的特性(表面和口感)与巧克力的粘性行为直接相关。人们需要更好地了解影响巧克力流动行为的变量。目前的研究深入了解了巧克力在精炼、调温等不同过程中的流动行为。还讨论了配方和颗粒特性对中间产品和最终产品流动行为的影响。生产过程的每个阶段:混合、精炼、调温都涉及到巧克力成分的宏观特性的改变,从而影响最终产品的流变特性。粒径分布和成分组成在塑造其流动行为和感官感知方面起着重要作用。巧克力的流变性质为食品科学家提供了大量信息,以改进和优化他们的产品和制造工艺。如今,对巧克力流动行为的深入了解是食品科学家和行业的必要条件。
