Featuring 20 practical experiments, updated health research, and industry-relevant insights, it’s the definitive resource for food science professionals, educators, and chocolate enthusiasts eager to deepen their expertise. ## Description The Science of Chocolate leads the reader to an understanding of the complete chocolate making process and includes the ways in which basic science plays a vital role in its manufacture, testing and consumption. Originally based upon a talk to encourage school children to study science, the book is now widely used within industry and academia. The third edition of this international best seller has been fully revised and updated. The author has now included methods of sensory evaluation, designing and modifying chocolate flavour to suit the product and the history and manufacture of some well-known confectionery products. Fat, calorie and sugar reduction are also covered including a review of patents in this area. In addition, the section on why chocolate might be good for you has been updated to include some more recent research results. Three new experiments have been added, so there are now twenty of them, which use simple materials and apparatus to demonstrate the scientific and mathematical principles found in the rest of the book. Most are easily adapted to suit different student abilities. This book will appeal to those with a fascination for chocolate and will be of specialist interest to those studying food sciences and working in the confectionery industry. Extracts from reviews of 2 nd Edition: "...I found this to be an interesting read, and I think the book would be useful to graduates thinking of a career in the food industry (and not just the chocolate industry specifically), to schoolteachers looking for some interesting experiments, and to lecturers (Chemistry, Biochemistry, Botany, Food science) looking for interesting facts to enliven their lectures." Bioscience Education, Volume 12, 2008, E J Wood. "...very well written and complete book for everyone who wants to learn more about chocolate and its production process." Crystallography Reviews, Volume 15, 2009 – Issue 4, pages 275-277, Henk Schenk. "The easy reading style of the book makes it valuable not only to school and university students, but also to those who are new to working with chocolate or those needing a good summary of chocolate science." Chemistry World, for the Christmas Books Review: Great book - Super interesting and really unique. Super happy with my purchase. Review: Helpful for chocolate manufacturering industry - I just started working in chocolate industry and this book is really helpful for understanding the science behind chocolate manufacturering. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 731,354 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 195 in Research & Development 281 in Food Science (Books) 348 in Industrial Chemistry & Manufacturing Technologies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 45 Reviews | ## Images ![Science of Chocolate - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rwda9b8yL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by T***S on 30 June 2020* Super interesting and really unique. Super happy with my purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful for chocolate manufacturering industry *by A***I on 3 July 2020* I just started working in chocolate industry and this book is really helpful for understanding the science behind chocolate manufacturering. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing and dubious *by B***B on 12 March 2024* I was a little disappointed in this book. I really bought it specifically to understand the chemistry of chocolate tempering (i.e. the different formation and melting points of cocoa butter's crystalline forms). The book's information on this subject is both vague (using inconsistent names for the crystals) and contradictory. This, plus some other dubious claims (e.g. "your sweet taste receptors are on the tip of your tongue") make me reluctant to use this as an authoritative resource. It's more oriented towards crafts and recipes, but I actually found "Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner" by Peter P. Greweling to be a much more reliable source of information about chocolate chemistry. Plus it has gorgeous pictures. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/261301824-science-of-chocolate](https://www.desertcart.it/products/261301824-science-of-chocolate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
