PHYSICAL SCIENCE Have you ever wondered why there are so many kinds of chocolate? This experiment explores the history behind chocolate and involves some yummy tasting as you develop a deeper understanding behind the different types of this sweet treat.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE In 2011, the world's largest chocolate bar weighed 5792 kg. (12,770 lbs.), which would have taken over five million average sized cacao beans to make. Your regular chocolate bar would need about 46 of the same sized beans. The main ingredient of cocoa (chocolate) is roasted cacao beans. Yes, these are spelled differently! The cacao is the name of the bean that produces cocoa. The beans come from the cacao trees that grow in tropical climates. There are three main varieties of the tree: • The Forestero tree is the one most often used for chocolate production around the world. In fact, over 90% of the world’s chocolate comes from this kind of tree. • The Criollo tree produces a milder, fancy chocolate and is considered a delicacy. The fact that it does not produce as much as the Forestero and is more inclined to disease, make it less popular for production. • The Trinitario tree is a hybrid between Forestero and Criollo. That means they have the best characteristics of both plants, making it higher quality than the Forestero, but more resilient than the Criollo. At the plantations, the cacao beans are fermented and dried and then packaged for shipping around the world. Now, on to the chocolate making! Roasting is the done to bring out the aroma and flavor. Then the cacao beans are cracked and emptied, leaving only the pulp and the seeds or nibs. The nibs are then taken and crushed into a thick paste called chocolate liquor. Sugar and other ingredients are added to the paste to sweeten it up and then it is run through a series of rollers to get the texture right. After being rolled out, the mixture goes into another machine that mixes, mashes, swirls and adds air to the chocolate. This machine is called a conch and the mixing done at this stage can last anywhere from a few hours to days depending on the quality of chocolate being produced. The next step is tempering the chocolate, making the color and texture shiny and consistent. After being tempered it is poured into a mold and allowed to set. It is then packaged and eventually makes its way into your tummy.
