摘要
In the present work cocoa butter and chocolate were precrystallized by means of a newly developed shear crystallizer. The shear crystallizer was integrated into a circular loop. The handling of precrystallized cocoa butter showed a high dependency on the timing of applied analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry, calorimetry, rheometry, and in-line near-infrared (NIR) were all directly influenced by the fat crystal structure. Nevertheless, for cocoa butter it was shown that mechanical energy input (rpm) had a significant influence on viscosity, melting enthalpy, and slope at the second point of inflection of a temper curve. Experiments with cocoa butter at constant exit temperature showed a linear increase of viscosity between 0.1 and 0.8 Pa.s in the range of 300 to 1300 rpm. Melting enthalpy increased in the same rpm interval from 0.02 to 2.5 J/g. Solidification time (from 4.5 to 0.5 min) and slope (from 0.82 to 0.15, second point of inflection of temper curve) consequently decreased (both with exponential approximation). For cocoa butter, slope and solidification time correlated linearly whereas solidification time and viscosity followed a power law fit. This proved that defined relationships exist between rheological data and data from temper curve measurements. Viscosity was linearly dependent on crystal content. By means of NIR spectroscopy good correlation models for cocoa butter viscosity, enthalpy (crystal content), and slope values were found. For precrystallized chocolate, analytical values such as viscosity and slope values were detected off-line and used for calibration of NIR spectroscopy.
