The objectives of the research on the application of dry ice in making chocolate mousse for the cold western dessert competition were to study the appropriate time for freezing chocolate mousse and test the physical quality of frozen chocolate mousse using randomized complete block design (RCBD) method at 95% reliability. The quality of senses sight color smell taste and texture and the overall preference were evaluated. The difference of mean was compared with by Duncan New Multiple Rang Test (DMRT) using a computer program to find the appropriate time to freeze chocolate mousse. 15 testers applied the 5 – point hedonic scale to test the product. Research results showed that the testers preferred the product that was frozen for 40 minutes the most. In terms of color smell taste and overall preference the mean was 4.50 4.41 4.00 4.35 4.25 and 4.21 respectively. The physical quality test results indicated that the texture of the mousse frozen for 30 minutes had the best hardness adhesion and flexibility 27.53 3.17 0.43 and 1.21 respectively. The product frozen at 40 minutes had the highest lightness (L*) yellowness (b*) and redness (a*) 40.15 13.03 and 22.31 respectively with the statistical significance (p≤0.05).

Broken rice of Thai cross breed black rice Riceberry was an under-utilized agricultural by-product that contains high content of anthocyanins the multiple health benefits flavonoid. In this study these anthocyanins were used to develop healthy dark hocolates. The anthocyanin extract from the broken Riceberry rice was prepared into anthocyanin powder using freeze-drying technique in which maltodextrin was used as a carrier material. Healthy dark chocolates were prepared by replacing cocoa powder with anthocyanin powder by 5 10 and 15 g/g cocoa powder which respectively delivers DC5 DC10 and DC15 anthocyanin-fortified dark chocolate bars. The color analysis showed no blooming (undesired white color at the chocolate surface) in all chocolates. The increase the anthocyanin powder content significantly decreased the hardness of the dark chocolates (33.9-27.2 N). Total anthocyanin content (TAC) in the dark chocolates increased respectively as anthocyanin powder content increased. The health benefit of the anthocyanin-fortified dark chocolates was improved as the DPPH antioxidant activity of all treatments was 4-9% higher than that of the control DC0. Sensory evaluation revealed that DC10 received higher liking scores (6.4-7.5) than the DC0 indicating more consumer preference. The anthocyanin-fortified dark chocolate delivers an alternative strategy to improve the health property of chocolates. This application of anthocyanin from the broken Riceberry rice could help increase the value and the utilization of Thai agricultural by-product.
