The goal of chocolate production is to produce a product with a consistent taste and mouthfeel in an economical and efficient way. Control of the cocoa and milk solids particle size and particle size distribution is critical to achieving this objective. The Mastersizer 3000 Chocosizer is designed to support chocolate production and quality control by providing a simple method for fast, reliable chocolate particle size analysis.
The Mastersizer 3000 Chocosizer kit enables the development of a simple, optimized workflow for the measurement of chocolate cocoa and milk solids particle size distributions, providing all of the components required to support the implementation of good chocolate QC methods.
Achieve routine, reproducible particle size analysis of chocolate samples
Develop a simple measurement workflow for support of QC operations
Easily detect oversized particles which impact product perception
Efficiently track particle size changes during chocolate processing
The Mastersizer 3000 Chocosizer kit provides for fast, reliable chocolate particle size analysis as part of routine process and quality control. It includes all the components required for chocolate sample preparation, including:
Dispersant flasks and pumps for supplying the correct volume of dispersant for sample preparation and measurement;
A sonication probe for pre-dispersion of chocolate samples prior to measurement;
A measurement guide is also provided which describes the typical measurement workflow for chocolate particle size measurements and provides the Mastersizer 3000 method settings required to achieve reproducible measurements.
