ABSTRACT

The efect of soy protein isolate (SPI) on oxidation rate, changes in color and hardness, and microbiological aspect of chocolates during storage were studied. The Peroxide Value (PV) of the control and 5% showed SPI were highest in week 3 and decreased at the following week, while 10% SPI showed the lowest PV in week 10 as compared to the others. The Anisidine Value (A V ) of all chocolates showed an increasing pattern during I0 weeks of storage. The Total Oxidation Value (TV) of all chocolates was found to be highest at week 3 and lowest at week 10 when 10% SPI was used. During storage, all chocolates slightly increased in hardnesjr and turned darker in color. The Total Plate Count (TPC) of the control and SPI chocolates was less than I , 000 coloniedg.

INTRODUCTION

Soy protein has many applications in candy and confectionery products but they are not widely used in foods such as dairy and meat product. Decloedt (1982) reported the utilization of soy protein isolates (SPI) in chocolate, confectionery and bakery. The incorportion of SPI for developing high protein chocolates by reducing the amount of full cream milk formulation was reported by Norma et al. (1996). Besides SPI, refined soy flour had also been used in Chocolate (Weber 1985) arid sugar confectioneries (Riedel 1990).

Inclusion of soy protein can increase the protein content of chocolates. According to Hansen (1986), oxidative rancidity is not a problem in cocoa solid because it contains natural antioxidants. He further described that rancidity in chocolate could be decreased by addition of soy lecithin which was used to decrease chocolate viscosity. Cherry et al. (1 98 1) reported that lecithin could slow

the autoxidation and enzyme hydrolysis of fat. Riedel(l990) described that refmed soy flour has a natural antioxidant which can be added to sweets to prevent spoilage. High amount of SPI in chocolates could harden chocolates texture and decrease the snap ability (Norma et al. 1996). Oxidation of lipids can cause formation of volatile odoriferous and color compounds, changes in textural properties, decrease in nutritive value and oxidation of cholesterol (Erikson 1982).

This study was conducted to determine the effect of SPI on oxidation rate, changes in color and hardness, and microbiological aspect of chocolates during storage.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Sample Procurement and Preparation

Natural cocoa liquor and cocoa butter were purchased from the KLK-Kepong Cocoa Product Sdn. Bhd., soy protein isolates (SPI) from Markaids Sdn, Bhd., soy lecithin from Damah Trading, whereas full cream milk (FCM), vanillin, sucrose and salt were from a local supplier.

The percentage of total fat in the chocolates was maintained around 35-36% using cocoa butter. SPI was added at 5%, 7.5% and 10% by reducing the percentages of FCM (Table 1). Sugar and natural cocoa liquor were maintained at 30.68% and 28.00%, respectively, whereas soy lecithin, vanillin, and salt at 0.16% each. Chocolate without SPI (0%) was used as control.

Cocoa liquor and one half of cocoa butter were melted in a microwave oven before mixing with the other ingredients in a bowl mixer. The chocolates were refined with roller refiner (Pascal) until the averages particle size were 25-30 micron. The refmed paste was conched by runner mill (Pascal) for 12 h at 65C and then tempered manually on a marble slab. The tempered chocolate liquor were poured into molds, shaken gently to remove air bubbles and then placed in a humidity chamber (Kato) which was set at 12C and 65% relative humidity for 15 min. After demolding, the chocolates were packed and sealed in plastic containers.

Storage Study of Chocolates

The chocolates were stored at 21C for 10 weeks. The Peroxide Value (PV), Anisidine Value (PV) and Totox Values (TV), texture, color and microbiology tests were conducted weekly.

Cocoa Butter Extraction

Fat was extracted from chocolate samples using petroleum ether (b.p. 30-60C) for 8 h in Soxhlet apparatus. The petroleum ether was then removed using rotary evaporator (Heidolph) at 60C. The fat was dried in an oven at 105C for 30 min before transferred into a bottle of further analysis.

Chemical Analysis

PV, AV and TV were determined according to the the method described by Cocks and Van Rede (1 966), Paquots (1 979) and Patterson (1 989), respectively.

Determination of Texture

The molded chocolate samples were cut into 2.0 x 2.5 x I .O cm3. The texture was measured using a V blade shear and load cell ranges of 5 to 50 kg on the Instrom Universal Testing Machine at 18C.

Determination of Color The tempered chocolate samples were molded in petri dish, stored at 2 1 C for

24 h before L, a and b values were measued using Color Difference Meter (Hunterlab, model 25D-2).

Microbiological Test

All !steps were carried out aseptically. A 90 mL of peptone water (1.5%) was poured into the stomacher bag containing 10 g chocolate samples. The mixture was mixed stomacher blender (Lab Blender 400) for 5 min. Chocolate dilution ranging lkom 10- 1 to 10-6 were prepared and 0.1 mL were spread onto PCA plates

using sterile glass hockey stick. The plates were incubated at 37C and the colonies were counted according to the method of Messer et al. (1984) at 24 and 48 h incubation.

Statistical Analysis

The results were statistically analyzed using SAS (1 994). The significance amongst the means was determined using the Least Significance Difference (LSD) at p<0.05.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Quality of Chocolates During Storage

Changes in Peroxide Values (PV)

The changes in Peroxide Value (PV) of chocolate samples during 10 weeks of storage are given in Table 2. All chocolates showed significant increase (p<0.05) in PV starting from week 0 to 3. The PV values of the control (13.63 meq/kg) and those containing 5% SPI (12.49 meqkg) were high in week 3; thereafter the values significantly decreased (p<0.05). The decrease could be due to the lack of oxygen present in the chocolates. Since the chocolates were wrapped with aluminium foil, they were not exposed to excessive air or oxygen from the environment. The study also indicated that SPI have significant @<0.05) effect on the PVs (Table 2). Lecithin have been shown to slow down the auto-oxidation and enzyme hydrolysis of fat (Lees 1990). Therefore the addition of SPI in chocolate formulation might reduce the rancitdity of chocolate during storage.

Changes in Anisidine Values (AV)

Generally, the Anisidine Value (AV) values of all chocolates increased significantly (P>0.05) upon storage (Table 3). However, the values were not significantly different (p>0.05) in the control and chocolate samples containing 5%, 7.5% and 10% SPIs at 10 weeks. Oxidation of triglycerides might occur due to the presence of oxygen with the assistance of light energy and catalysts; bacterial or plant enzymes can also induce the oxidation process (Patterson 1989).

Changes in Total Oxidation Value (TV)

The Total oxidation Value (TV) of chocolates containing 7.5% SPI were found to be low in week 0, 1 ,3 and 6 , and of those containing 5% and 10% SPI, in week 4 and 10, respectively. The TV of chocolates containing SPI started to decrease in

week 7, while that of the control in week 5 (Table 4). The 10% SPI showed the lowest TV in week 10. Young (1983) reported that oxidized butter-fat could develop a sickly, strong flavor, whereas lipolyzed butter produced a cheesy off- flavor. He also noted that cocoa butter was very resistant towards oxidative deterioration; this is due to the fact that the cocoa butter was unrefined and it contained1 substantial quantities of natural antioxidant. Chocolates with 5%, 7.5% and 10% SPI levels contained a lower amount of FCM, and a high amount of cocoa butter when compared to the control chocolate. SPI itself contained less than 2% lecithin; lecithin is one of known antioxidants in food systems. Thus, control chocolate: could be oxidized at the higher rate during storage because it contains high amount of FCM content; the added lecithin and cocoa butter may contain

antioxidant, but it might not be enough to prevent oxidation (Frampton 1983). Chocolate flavored coatings and low cost chocolate flavored coatings and low cost chocolate flavored coating have high possibilities to undergo oxidative and lipolytic rancidity, respectively. The former contain low concentration of cocoa butter, whereas the latter contain high concentration of lauric fats.

Changes in Hardness

Hardness of chocolate has been shown to be significantly affected by SPI content. The high amount of SPI have caused an increase in the hardness of the resultant chocolates (Table 5). SPI produces swollen insoluble protein, and increases the viscosity of chocolates during conching process (Norma et al. 1996). Cocoa butter (35-36%), which was used to maintain the total fat of chocolates, could also have contributed to the increase in the hardness of the chocolate samples. Table 5 also shows that all chocolates tend to be slightly hardened when stored at 2 1C for 10 weeks. According to Hutton and Campbell (1 98 l), SPI has the ability to absorb oil or lipid in the range of 80 to 150% Thus, during conching, SPI was likely to absorb the melting cocoa butter and reduce chocolate viscosity; upon molding, chocolate hardness has then increased.

Changes in Color Values (L, a and b)

The addition of different levels of SPI has changed the color values of the chocolates (Table 6). For each treatment, the chocolate with SPI decreased its

192 J . SELAMAT. N. HUSSIN, A. MOHN ZAIN, and Y.B. CHE MAN

whiteness (L value) significantly (p<0.05) when compared to the control chocolate. The L values of all chocolates were found to be significantly different (p<0.05) during storage. Table 7 also shows that SPI had significantly decreased (p<0.05) the ‘a’ values of all chocolates within 10 weeks of storage (by week). The ‘b’ value of chocolates showed similar effects as ‘a’ value for all chocolates for 10 weeks of storage (Table 8).

The incorportion of SPI provides high protein source which can interact widely with sucrose to produce caramel-like, which give a dark color during conching process. Fennema (1985) reported that brown pigments were formed when sugar is heated, either alone or in the presence of proteins. Hansen (1986) reported that browning; occurred more rapidly in the presence of protein, such as, egg albumin. Protein content is important to the confectioner because it is a key component in the reaction between amino groups and sugar. This reaction is well known in caramel and toffee manufacturing contributing significantly to the flavor and texture of these confectioneries (Lees 1990).

Total Plate Count (TPC)

The chocolate samples had TPC of less than 10 colonies/g at week 0 and 1 (Table 9). At week 2, the TPC slowly increased to more than 10 colonieslg at 24 h for control and 5% SPI and at 48 h for control, 5% and 7.5% of SPI, respectively. Those with 10% SPI still had less than 10 colonieslg in 48 h at week 2. At week 6 and 7, the number of colonies drastically increased but dropped on the following week. However, at week 10 the TPC for all chocolates were less than 1000 colonieslg.

Control chocolate and chocolates with different levels of SPI have low moisture content of 1.2 - 2.1%; thus, microorganisms could not easily survive.

SOY PROTEIN ISOLATES 195

Lees (1 990) reported that, chocolate and confectionary products are preserved in their edible condition because of their low and high soluble solids conents. Even then many quality defects occur after prolonged storage. The major causes of deterioration are fermentation, rancidity, and molds.

Addition of SPI was shown to prevent the oxidation in the chocolates. As more SPI was incorporated, the color of SPI-chocolates was darker and the texture was harder. The increase in hardness could prevent the SPI-chocolates from melting easily.
