Projectomschrijving

Lecithin is added to chocolate to control its flow behaviour, which is important for the application and mouthfeel. This emulsifier, however, can vary considerably in composition. This project focuses on the influence of the lecithin composition and chocolate processing conditions on its functionality in molten chocolate.
