Belgian scientist Frederic Dipere has created chocolate that has the property of not melting in the heat. The idea did not come to his native Belgium, known for frequent rains and not so warm temperatures, but to distant Shanghai, where he was at a scientific conference five years ago.
There, the scientist learned first hand how quickly a tasty delicacy can turn into a thick mush when exposed to high temperatures. Dipre's idea of creating a non-melting dessert was not so much about consumer convenience as it was about economic considerations.
I thought that if we wanted to export a product to countries like China and India, we had to change something, said Barry Callebaut, a scientist who leads the research of one of the world's largest chocolate producers, quoted by Bloomberg.
Five years after the start of the research, the Belgian believes that he is ready to sell chocolate that cannot be melted in the hands of customers, but only in their mouths.
The developed product currently remains completely intact even when exposed to a temperature of 38 degrees. Its aim is for the resistance of the new product to reach temperatures of 42 degrees.
Dipre is in a hurry to launch the new chocolates due to the fact that several other leading companies in the confectionery industry work in the same field. The industry is looking to find a way to unlock potential profits for billions in countries with warmer climates.
Initial analyzes show that if companies manage to create quality chocolate that does not melt at high temperatures, the market for the delicious product in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa will grow by more than 50 percent to 48 billion US dollars. dollars by 2019. For the same period, economists predict a market growth in Europe and North America of only 15 percent.
Research to create non-melting chocolate have been made for more than four decades. So far, there are nearly 90 such patents, most of which have been made in the last 10 years.
