Formula Optimization and Shelf Life Prediction of Sesame Chocolate Bar
Using defatted sesame powder,chocolate,maltitol,sunflower seeds,and chia seeds as factors,the formula of sesame chocolate bars was optimized using the D-optimal mixture design method and fuzzy sensory evaluation method.The results showed that the optimal formula for sesame protein energy bars was as follows:39%defatted sesame powder,30%chocolate,24%maltitol,6%sunflower seed,and 1%chia seed.The product prepared with this formula had an unique flavor,and the flavors of sesame and chocolate were complementary.The routine physicochemical analysis results indicated that the product met the requirements of national standards.The shelf life of sesame chocolate bars at room temperature was predicted to be 256 d using the Arrhenius formula.It provided technical support for the standardized production of sesame chocolate bars.
