On-line and At-Line Measurements of Moisture and Fat or Oil in Chocolate Products

Moisture and Fat measurements in chocolate and cocoa production are critical process parameters at the intermediate and final stages of manufacture. Controlling these components not only affects the quality and consistency of the final product, it can also mean savings in the use of high value constituents such as cocoa butter.

Through its work with the industry, NDC Infrared Engineering has developed a whole suite of moisture and fat measurements for its MM710e On-Line Gauge covering the key ranges required. Measurements are available for:

  • Cocoa Beans (whole)
  • Cocoa Liquor
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Chocolate Crumb
  • Drinking Chocolate Powder
  • Molten Milk or Plain/Dark Chocolate
  • Press Cake
  • Refiner Flake
  • Refiner Paste

We also offer a range of measurements for other confectionery processes such as sugar coating. Click on MM710e or Confectionery to learn more...
