Chocolate made from fruit

Children are often picky eaters of vegetables you? Don't worry too much, because scientists at Warwick University (UK) have successfully developed a new type of chocolate made from fruit juice (such as oranges, apples, blueberries) containing only half the fat content. , promising to help children increase the amount of fruit consumed daily.

The technique of making "fruit chocolate" is based on the replacement of milk and cocoa butter (the common ingredient in regular chocolate) with concentrated fruit juice. Specifically, experts use fruit juices and many other food additives to form an emulsion mixture, then pour into the mold.

These "fruit chocolate" bars still provide a crisp, fragrant, slightly bitter taste and fade in the mouth just like when we eat regular chocolate. Currently, this technology is believed to be applicable to the production of black, milk and white chocolate but the final product will bring fruit flavor. In addition, the composition of fruit juice can also be replaced with a mixture of water and vitamin C to keep chocolate's inherent cocoa flavor.

Dr. Stefan Bon, the leader of the research team, said the scientists are expecting the food industry to be able to study more and put into use the new chocolate making technology to make chocolate and many other kinds of candy. Fatty, delicious but nutritious.
