Description

{MANUFACTURING APPARATUS FOR CACAO NIBS}

The present invention relates to a cacao processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a cacao processing apparatus and a cacao processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a cacao processing apparatus and a cacao processing apparatus, And more particularly, to a cacao processing apparatus capable of facilitating a cacao processing apparatus.

In general, chocolate is a mixture of finely milled solids, chocolate liquor, sugar, and milk crumb or powder, all of which are suspended in cocoa butter or substitute fat suspend or disperse, and this substitute fat is a medium that maintains a liquor at normal processing temperatures.

Generally, chocolate is produced by mixing, refining, conching, preliminarily tempering, depositing, enrobing, and cooling processes. And an aging process.

First, in the compounding process, the powdery materials such as cocoa powder, white sugar, and powdered milk are thoroughly mixed in a mixing apparatus, and then the liquid raw material is mixed and mixed until the state becomes suitable for the subsequent micronization process.

In the micronization process, the blended chocolate particles are finely ground with a multi-stage roller or a mill so as to have a particle size of 14 mu m to 16 mu m or less.

In the conching process, the micronized chocolate mass is stirred continuously for a long time together with the emulsifier in a conching device called a concee, so that the chocolate mass is sequentially heated so that most of water and volatile acids are removed and dispersed. The chocolate flake mass is crushed to form the complete liquid chocolate.

In the preliminary solidification step, a suitable amount (3% to 8%) of seeds (β-form crystals) of the most stable form is prepared by operating the temperature in advance so that the chocolate (ultimately, cocoa butter) And aging processes to make the entire cocoa butter into a β-form crystal.

In the filling and enrobing process, a molding frame made of a plastic material such as polycarbonate is used. A nozzle plate having the same size as the molding frame is used to fill the chocolate through a small hole or a gap, and air Remove the droplet.

In the cooling process, the chocolate formed in a predetermined shape is cooled to 5 ° C by gentle cooling while passing through a cooling tunnel, and then maintained at 5 ° C to some extent and then slowly cooled to room temperature (about 15 ° C).

In the fermentation stage, the chocolate is cooled and aged for 7 ~ 10 days at a storage temperature of 18 ° C and RH 50% or less, so that the structure becomes more stable, thereby minimizing blooming and the like during distribution.

In the above-described manufacturing process of the chocolate, the conching device used for the conching process is to conduct the conching work by rotating the stirring blade while the cocoa powder is inserted in the inside.

On the other hand, a general production method of cocoa powder used for manufacturing chocolate is as follows. First, the cacao beans are lightly roasted, cooled, and then crushed to remove the husks and obtain cacao oil (Cacao Nibs). To this, an alkali solution (usually an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate) is added, heated, dried, roasted and crushed. It contains 50 to 55% cocoa butter (also called "Cacao Mass"), which is crushed to obtain Cocoa Powder by crushing the pressed Press Cake.

In the conventional chocolate manufacturing process, the conching process for con- structing the cacao powder can only heat the cacao powder and can not cool the heated cacao. Therefore, the quality of the chocolate can not be improved.
