Mesure topographique de la contraction du chocolat en cours de solidification.

Topographical measurement of the contraction of solidifying chocolate.

Résumé

During industrial chocolate production, liquid chocolate is subjected to a complex tempering process prior to moulding in order to produce a product with a suitable crystal form. In contrast to tempered material, untempered chocolate does not separate easily from the mould. The industrial need is to quantify shape change as a function of the process history to enable better mould and process design. The authors used a non-invasive metrological device to detect height changes during solidification of a material. The deformation of chocolates with different thermal histories was studied. The method can clearly distinguish between tempered and untempered chocolate.
