Abstract

Chocolate has some unique characteristics that solid at room temperature, brittle when broken and completely melts at body temperature. In the tropics, a specific approach in formulating chocolate is needed due to its high average temperature. This research aimed to develop formulation of heat-resistant chocolate with the addition of carrageenan-based hydrogel (CG). Experimental variables used were four concentrations of hydrogel namely 0 %, 3 %, 5 %, and 7%. Four parameters including moisture content, particle size, melting profile and hardness were evaluated at 0, 4, 8, and 12 days. The result manifested that the addition of carrageenan-based hydrogel influenced chocolate parameter. As the concentration of hydrogel increased, moisture content, melting point, hardness and particle size also increased.
