Frequently asked questions

Why must white chocolate not be overheated?
Milk proteins and sugar scorch at high temperature, the mass thickens and picks up an off-taste.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
