ABSTRACT

Chocolate is one of the most desired confectionery products in the world. Its production technology includes a series of processes conducted in appropriate conditions of the temperature and time. Most of these operations contribute to the degradation of valuable, natural and desired bioactive compounds; hence, producers search for novel technologies and solutions that would enable minimizing these losses. In 2012, the EFSA confirmed advantages of components within cocoa powder to health. This review is focused on analyzing the effect of particular stages of the production process, with consideration given over to the kind of raw ingredients of the finished product on the bioactive compound’s make-up in the products made in cocoa beans products subjected to the “traditional” process using both high and low temperatures. Due to the high temperature used during roasting, it is witch is one of the main processes affecting both the quality and sensory properties of the cocoa beans and products made from them. Each variety differs in size and beans color, resistance to the climatic resistance, and beans composition. Collected data allow us to establish which stages and which processes require further studies and analyses to be most useful for chocolate manufacturers not only in terms of the manufacturing repeatability of products, but also in developing an assortment of products having a positive effect on human health and well-being.
