β¦ Synopsis
The sensory properties of nine milk chocolate formulations varying in sucrose (400, 475 or 550 g kg Γ1 ) and cocoa butter (280, 320 or 360 g kg Γ1 ) were evaluated by descriptive analysis with a panel of 18 trained judges and by instrumental measures of colour lightness, hardness, viscosity and yield value. Low-sugar samples were more bitter, gritty and roasted (p 0.001). High-sugar samples had higher milky/dairy, vanilla/caramel, hardness and sweetness intensities (p 0.001). Samples higher in fat were faster melting. Low-sugar and low-fat samples were associated with viscous, mouthcoating, fatty/oily, cocoa and darker notes. Samples with high levels of both sugar and fat were more cooling and faster vanishing (p `0.001). Surprisingly, fatty/oily intensity was inversely related to fat concentration. This research documents previously unreported effects of sugar and fat on the texture, mouthfeel and Β―avour of milk chocolate.
