- Abstract
Melting temperature of chocolate needs to be increased since it easily melts at temperatures below 34oC. An elevated melting temperature gives benefits for chocolate producers in tropical countries. In this study, heat-resistant chocolate was developed using indirect incorporation of water. Xanthan Gum-based hydrogel was added into chocolate in the end of conching process with the proportion of 2%. This work aimed to investigate the impact of Xanthan Gum-based hydrogel on the properties of chocolate. The influence of three different Xanthan Gum-based hydrogels concentration, namely 3%, 5%, and 7% was investigated. The results showed that, due to a high moisture content and melting values of chocolates increased.
