The powdered spices as given above may be replaced by corresponding
essential oils, but see page 237 for remarks on this point.
If the chocolates made from beans rich in oil contain too much fat to
mould properly, a small percentage of their constituent cacao mass
can be replaced by cocoa powder made from the same kind of bean,
but defatted, in the case of the finer qualities; and when inferior
varieties are under consideration, the same result may be attained by
a sufficient increase in the proportion of their other constituent,
sugar, as e. g. 55-60 parts of to 45 or 40 parts of cacao mass, so
disturbing the usual equality of the two ingredients mixed together.
Very cheap chocolates in particular are prepared from a smaller
percentage of cacao mass and show a corresponding increase in their
sugar content. But if the sugar exceeds 65 percent, it is no longer
possible to mould these chocolates, and the addition of fresh cacao
butter becomes a necessary preliminary to this operation, cf. also
the first part in section IV. Such varieties would have a composition
somewhat like the following:
Cacao mass 25 parts
Sugar 67 "
Cacao butter 7 "
Spices and vanillin as above 1 "
In the experimental preparation of samples of chocolate mass it is
not advisable to employ large quantities of ingredients, when a
waste of material is bound to ensue, but to begin with mixing small
quantities of one or two kilos. The small Universal Kneading and Mixing
Machines, Patent Werner & Pfleiderer, Type 1, Class BS, can here be
used with advantage. They are specially intended for small outputs and
experimental work; but we shall return to their description later,
after stating that they are furnished with heating apparatus, stuffing
boxes and air-tight lid, and can easily be taken to pieces, greatly
facilitating the removing of the mass.
