ABSTRACT: Chocolate is a luxury food. It is not only popular among children, but also consumed by youth and old age persons. The present project was taken up to develop vitamin-C enriched guava milk chocolate. The purpose of addition of guava powder was to enhance nutritional and sensory qualities of chocolate. Guava is a very rich source of soluble dietary fiber and vitamin-C (an excellent antioxidant). The effect of various ingredients like guava powder, milk powder and cocoa powder on sensory characteristics of the prepared chocolate was studied and their levels were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using regression equation model. Optimization of the product was done by maximising the score for sensory characteristics while keeping the hardness of the chocolate in range. The optimised guava milk chocolate constituted 14.13 percent guava power, 15 percent milk powder, 15 percent cocoa powder, 30 percent sugar and 30 percent cocoa butter.

Introduction
Chocolate is a luxury food that evokes a range of stimuli that activate pleasure during consumption. Primary chocolate categories are dark, milk and white that differs in content of cocoa solid, milk fat and cocoa butter. It is a semi-solid suspension of fine solid particles of sugar and cocoa, about 70%. It is solid at ambient (20-25°C) and melts in mouth (37°C) during consumption giving a smooth suspension of particulate solids in cocoa butter and milk fat (Beckett et al., 1999). It has a characteristic lipid phase composition that influences mouth feel and melting properties. Chocolate triglycerides are dominated by saturated stearic (34%) and palmitic (27%) fatty acids and mono unsaturated oleic acid (34%). It is used in the cases of migraines, circulatory benefit, aphrodisiac, muscle recovery, acne, reduces LDL cholesterol, natural, anti-depressant, prevents tooth decay, as a cancer fighter and as a stimulant (Whitefield et al., 2005). Guava (Psidium guajava), which belong to Myrtaceae family, is a native of tropical America and grows well in tropical and sub tropical regions. Most of the guava produced around the world is consumed fresh. While marketing of processed products such as jam, jelly, puree, paste, canned slice in syrup or nector is limited. On an average, the fruit contains 74–87% moisture, 13–26% dry matter, 0.5–1% ash, 0.4–0.7% fat and 0.8–1.5% protein (Chin and Yong, 1980). It is rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is 4 to 10 times greater than citrus fruits (Manay et al., 2014). The fruit, in particular the pink flesh cultivar, has a fair amount of vitamin A (beta-carotene). Some vitamin B such as thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin and pantothenic acid are also found in the fruit. In addition, it also contains a fair amount of phosphorous, calcium, iron, potassium and sodium (Lim and Khoo, 1990). Guava is also rich in antioxidants that help to reduce the incidence of degenerative diseases such as arthritis, arteriosclerosis, cancer, heart disease and inflammation and brain dysfunction. In addition, antioxidants were reported to retard ageing (Feskanich et al., 2000). Among the most abundant antioxidants in fruits are polyphenols and ascorbic acid. Considering the health benefits of guava and the popularity of chocolate among the population, the present project has been taken to optimise the ingredients for the development of guava milk chocolate using RSM.
Materials and Methods
Raw material and chemicals
Cocoa powder (Cadbury), skim milk powder (SMP) and sugar were procured from local market of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh (India). Guava powder was taken from Centre of Food Science and Technology laboratory, IAS, BHU. All the chemicals were procured from Sigma-Aldrich (USA), Merck and Himedia (Mumbai, India).
Experimental design and data analysis
Basically, RSM helps to create a product using regression equations that describe interrelations between input parameters and product properties (Colona et al.,1984). The Central Composite Design (CCD) for three independent variables was performed using Design-Expert DX 8.0.7.1 version. The independent variables were guava powder, milk powder and cocoa powder. The independent variables and variation levels are shown in Table-1. The range of each variable was established according to preliminary trials. The outline of experimental design with the actual levels is presented in Table-2. Dependent variables were color, body & texture, flavor, graininess, mouth feel and hardness of the guava milk chocolate as product responses. RSM was applied for experimental data using a commercial statistical package, Design-Expert version 8.0.7.1 for the generation of response surface plots. The same software was used for statistical analysis of experimental data. The experiments were conducted and responses were fitted in the design. After that each individual experiment, responses were analyzed to assess the effect of independent variables on them. Numerical optimization technique of the Design-Expert software was used for simultaneous optimization of the multiple responses. As an approach to the numerical optimisation of multiple responses, the simultaneous optimisation technique popularized by Derringer and Suich, (1980) was used. The desired goals for each factor and response were chosen. The goals may be applicable to either factors or responses. The possible goals or constraints are: maximize, minimize, target, within range, none (for response only) and set to an exact value (for factors only). In order to search a solution maximizing multiple responses, the goals were combined into an overall composite function, called the desirability function. Desirability is an objective function that ranges from zero outside of the limits to one at the goal. The program of the software (design expert) seeks to maximize the function. The goal seeking begins at a random starting point and proceeds up the steepest slope to a maximum. By starting from several points in the design space, chances improve for finding the “best” local maximum.
The second order polynomial equation of the following form was fitted to the responses

Y = Response variable

Xi, Xj & Xij = Coded independent variables
ԑ = Residual error
Preparation of chocolate
The ingredients i.e. cocoa powder, milk powder, sugar (30 %) and guava powder were mixed homogenously. To this mixture, pre-heated cocoa butter (30 %) was added and blended properly with the help of an electric blender. Then it was tempered manually on a cool surface. Immediately after tempering, the mixture was distributed in different shapes and kept for crystallization in refrigerator at 3°C. The prepared guava chocolate was then packaged properly in aluminium foil and stored at refrigeration temperature.
Sensory evaluation
Chocolate samples were evaluated for sensory characteristics like color, body & texture, flavor, graininess and mouth feel using 9-point Hedonic scale (Lawless and Heymann, 2010). Sensory evaluation of the chocolate was performed by a panel of 7 semi trained judges from the Centre of Food Science and Technology at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India.
Texture analyses
(Bourne et al., 1978):- Hardness of chocolate samples were analyzed using Texture Analyzer (TA.XT plus texture profile analyzer, Stable Micro Systems, UK).
Analytical methods
Moisture, protein, fat and ash content in guava milk chocolate were estimated by AOAC (2000) methods. Ascorbic acid content in guava milk chocolate was estimated by AOAC (1990) method.
Result and discussion
Effect on Graininess
The average graininess score of guava milk chocolate varied from 5.5 to 7.84 (Table-3).The quadratic model for graininess was found significant (p<0.0001) and the data were fitted in quadratic model as given below.
Graininess = + 6.76 + 0.60 × A – 7.322E – 004 × B – 5.658E – 003 × C + 1.250E – 003 × A × B + 0.061 × A × C – 0.02 × B × C – 0.037 × A2 + 2.271E -003× B2 + 0.027 × C2
Where A is guava powder, B is milk powder & C is cocoa powder.
Fig.1 and 2 show the response surface plot for graininess as influenced by milk powder, guava powder and cocoa powder levels. It indicated that with increasing levels of guava powder, sensory score of graininess in guava milk chocolate increased. However, there was no or very low effect on the graininess due to addition of milk powder in guava milk chocolate. Fig. 2 shows that addition of cocoa powder in the chocolate did not impart any effect on the graininess.

Effect on body and texture
The average body and texture score of guava milk chocolate varied from 6.8 to 8.31 (Table-3) with a significant (p<0.0001) quadratic model.
The equation for body and texture is given below,
Body & texture = + 7.38 – 4.328E – 004 × A -0.02 × B + 0.39 × C – 1.250E – 003 × A × B + 0.061 × A × C – 0.016 × B × C + 0.018 × A2 -8.772E– 003 × B2 + 0.064 × C2
There was a slight effect of milk powder on the body and texture of guava milk chocolate (Fig.3). The increasing levels of guava powder showed a slight decrease in sensory score of body and texture of guava milk chocolate. Increasing the level of cocoa powder significantly increased sensory score for body and texture (Fig. 4).

Effect on color
The model for color of the chocolate was significant with average color score varying from 6.9 to 8.09 (Table-3). The following equation describes the quadratic model for color.
Color = +7.37-0.015×A-6.590E-003 × B+0.30 × C+0.031 × A × B+0.021 × A × C-0.026 ×B × C-6.382E-003 × A2+0.011× B2+0.048 × C2
There was a negative effect of both guava powder and milk powder on color of guava milk chocolate and the increasing levels of both ingredients decreased sensory score for color (Fig 5). Increasing level of cocoa powder improved the color of the chocolate (Fig. 6).

Hardness = +2772.82+34.08 × A-91.63×B+1072.48 ×C-47.28 × A×B+75.53× A ×C +128.30× B ×C-96.97×A2-6.53× B2+74.44×C2
It can be seen from Fig.11 that with increasing levels of guava powder, the hardness of guava milk chocolate increased, while addition of milk powder in the development of chocolate decreased the hardness. Fig.12 represents that addition of cocoa powder exhibited the great importance on the hardness of chocolate.

Optimized product
Levels of different responses were fixed (Table: – 4) to obtain 26 suggested solutions (Table:-5). Out of 26 suggested solutions, solution which had highest desirability (0.626) compared to all other solutions was opted for formulation.The solution was obtained for optimized guava milk chocolate condition having value as 14.13 % guava powder, 15 % milk powder and 15 % cocoa powder and at this level the score of graininess, body & texture, color, flavor, mouth feel & hardness were as 7.21, 7.91, 7.75, 7.77, 6.77 and 3937 gm, respectively.
Proximate composition of optimized guava milk chocolate
Optimized guava milk chocolate showed 02.81 % moisture, 01.87 % Protein, 30.04 % fat and 04.10 % ash. Ascorbic acid was 122 mg/100 gm of guava milk chocolate.
Conclusions
Guava powder was successfully added to chocolate, though some degree of graininess persisted. The sensory characteristics viz.,, color, flavor, body & texture, mouth feel and textural property i.e. hardness were comparable to traditional milk chocolate.
