Conching and tempering chocolate are both very important parts of chocolate production, which directly determine the quality of chocolate. Let us take a look at the conching and tempering process in the chocolate factory. Conching Chocolate What is Conching Chocolate? Conching definition: The material undergoes continuous mechanical mixing, kneading and shearing, so that the material particles are further broken and reduced. Therefore, the process of conching chocolate is through continuous mechanical collision and friction, the particle shape of cocoa and sugar becomes smoother, thereby improving the taste of chocolate. The chocolate produced by long conching process will have some characteristics: 1. The low water content is directly reflected in the quality and shelf life of the chocolate. Comparison of water content: 1.19% before conching; 0.95% after 24 hours of conching; 0.91% after 72 hours of conching. 2. Chocolate has a good smooth and delicate taste. After the chocolate material is refined, its particles are further reduced, and the material particles are evenly dispersed and reorganized. At the same time,...

Chocolate Product Description: Chocolate products usually refer to these products: Use a variety of candies, nuts or rice noodle products as the core, and then cover the surface with different types of chocolate in different processes; Inject different core materials between different types of chocolate; Mix various nuts on the outside of different types of chocolate. Different Types of Chocolate Products: According to the different composition and production technology, chocolate candies can basically be divided into the following types: (1) Filled chocolate Internationally, the name of the filled chocolate is regulated. Any product with less than 60% of the outer layer of chocolate is called chocolate candies, such as chocolate bonbons, chocolate nougats, etc.; Products that use more than 60% of the outer layer of chocolate are called chocolates, such as milk almond syrup chocolate, apple jam chocolate and so on. (2) Chocolate with nuts All kinds of whole, half or broken nuts are mixed with pure chocolate in a certain proportion, and then produced by the...

The chocolate manufacturing process typically involves several steps, which may vary slightly depending on the specific type of chocolate being produced. Here is a general overview of the process: Feeding → mixing → fine grinding → refining (spices, phospholipids) → sieving → heat preservation → temperature adjustment → casting molding → vibration → cooling and hardening → demoulding → selection → packaging The above is usually a complex chocolate manufacturing process designed into the factory. The process can usually be summarized into 6 stages: raw material pretreatment, mixing, grinding, conching, tempering and molding. 1. Pretreatment of Raw Materials (1) Cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa butter substitutes are solid at room temperature. They need to be melted before being mixed and finely ground. (2) The crystalline particles of granulated sugar are of different sizes. The granulated sugar should be pulverized to a certain fineness, which is beneficial to the mixing, grinding and refining of the materials, and it can also make the fineness of the...
