The suitability of sunflower oil-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) based oleogel obtained by emulsion template approach as partial cocoa butter (CB) replacer in chocolates was investigated. A level of 50% CB replacement was optimum, as higher level of replacement affected the sensory appearance in comparison to the control chocolate (without added oleogel). Four levels of HPMC (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) were considered. Textural and calorimetric properties, as well as sensory properties obtained by Free Choice Profile of the formulated chocolates were investigated. Partial replacement of CB by the sunflower-HPMC based oleogel reduced significantly the chocolate hardness. Higher HPMC concentrat…
