Abstract

Coated citric acid as an acidulant was prepared to be used as a stable food additive. Sensory evaluation of chocolate products with the coated acidulant additive was performed to improve sensory preference tendency in chocolate product. When the ratio of coated acidulant was varied on the preparation of dark (0, 1, 2 wt%), milk (0, 1, 2 wt%) and white (0, 2, 4, 6 wt%) chocolate, 1 wt% (dark and milk) or 2 wt% (white) addition showed better preference than that of 0% sample in overall acceptability. Under the condition of the same coated acidulant content (1% or 2%), the white chocolate showed best sensory evaluation result in sweet, sour taste and overall acceptability.

신맛을 내는 구연산의 첨가물로써 물성을 향상시키기 위하여 코팅산미료를 제조하여 이를 초콜릿에 응용하였다. 신맛을 가미한 코팅구연산 초콜릿은 본 식품의 물성을 변화시키지 않았으며 제형이 조화를 잘 이루었다. 코팅구연산의 함량에 따른 기호도 조사를 위해 코팅구연산을 다크 (0, 1, 2%), 밀크 (0, 1, 2%)및 화이트 (0, 2, 4, 6%)초콜릿에 첨가한 초콜릿의 관능평가를 실시한 결과 다크와 밀크 초콜릿은 1%, 화이트 초콜릿은 2%를 함유했을 때 가장 좋은 관능 선호도를 나타내었다. 코팅구연산의 함유량이 1% 또는 2%인 다크, 밀크 및 화이트 세 종류의 초콜릿을 비교하였을 때 화이트 초콜릿이 단맛과 신맛의 조화가 잘되어 전반적인 기호도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.
