  • Publication number: 20190110492
    Abstract: A method for preserving the aroma of coffee in chocolate products, comprising the steps of roasting and grounding the coffee beans, blending cocoa butter with the coffee beans and milling the coffee beans under inert atmosphere using a mill mesh between 16 and 30 microns resulting in a powdered product, homogenizing the resulting suspension of cocoa butter with the powdered product. Then lowering of the temperature of the resulting composite mass to a temperature between 28 and 29 degrees Celsius and holding it for a period of time not less than 5 minutes and no more than 10 minutes, molding the composite mass to predetermined shapes, and then lowering temperature, resulting in a solid product.

  • Publication number: 20070202241
    Abstract: The invention is related to a process for chocolate mass manufacturing, that comprises the following steps: a) dry pre-grinding of raw material; b) product conching in ā€œUā€ type conch 9 for intensive chocolate processing, c) liquefaction and cooling of chocolate mass; d) final grinding of chocolate mass. The invention is still related to the chocolate mass processing machine, which is comprised by a structure made up of a ā€œUā€ type shape conch 9, an agitator axis 12, in which a fixed arm 10 and agitator arms 11 are articulated, to increase the exposition cycle of dry chocolate mass to pre-heated air coming from the forced ventilation performed through the high pressure fan 14, activated by an electric motor with a heating electric resistance 13 to a compact installation for the processing of the chocolate mass with the above mentioned machine.
