10 25 Birefringent sugar particles as seen through a polarising microscope. e. a non-crystalline, though solid, structure. A good example is a clear, boiled-sugar sweet, which is often mint flavoured. This happens when sucrose solutions are dried too quickly and the individual molecules do not have time to form the crystalline structure when the water is removed. One way to manufacture amorphous sugar is to freeze-dry a sucrose solution. Amorphous sugar is not birefringent as it does not possess a structure such that it can bend the light in a polarising microscope.

These have no taste themselves, but decompose to produce unpleasant off-flavours. 3 Fatty acid composition of milk fat (Haylock and Dodds4). 0 The first number is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule and the second is the number of double bonds. of peroxide present is used to detect the early stages of deterioration. In order to keep the milk fat for longer periods, contact with oxygen must be minimised. Sometimes the air in the packaging is replaced by nitrogen and an oxygen barrier packaging is used.

If the factory is going to press the cocoa liquor to make cocoa powder, the cocoa liquor is not normally ground as finely as when the cocoa liquor is used for chocolate. This is because very finely ground cocoa liquor particles will block the filters in the cocoa presses and make it more difficult to remove the cocoa butter. In chocolate making, however, it is advantageous to have as much cocoa butter as possible released from the cells. 1 Impact Mills. Impact mills work by hitting the cocoa nibs with fast moving pins or hammers.
