We studied the effects of seeding several fat crystal powders on the viscosity of dark chocolate, so as to apply this technique to industrial chocolate production. The highest limit of seeding temperature, above which there was no seeding effect in 10 minutes incubation, was compared to improve fat bloom stability. As seed materials, Form V and Form VI of cocoa butter, β2 and β1 of 1, 3-distearoyl-2-oleoylglycerol (SOS), and β2 of 1, 3-dibehenoyl-2-oleoylglycerol (BOB) were used. All the crystals were pulverized to fine powders of 2070 μm below -60°C. The viscosity of supercooled molten dark chocolate was measured, before and after seeding, with a rotational viscometer at 30°C. The concentrations of the seed crystals were 1 and 5 wt%. Both forms of cocoa butter as well as SOS remarkably increased viscosity just after seeding. The seeded dark chocolate showed no increase in viscosity for 12 minutes after seeding BOB β2 powders even at a concentration of 5 wt%. The seeding temperature was highest for BOB β2 (38°C), among the five seed powder. Fat bloom stability was greatest in BOB β2. The most favorable seed material was thus concluded to be BOB β2.
