Aim
To find out the presence of following in
chocolates: -
a) Proteins
b) Fats
c) Sugars
d) Calcium
e) Iron
f) Magnesium
g) Nickel
h) Material Required
1. Chocolates of various brand names
2. Glass wares: Beaker, Funnel, Flask, test
tube etc.
3. Chemicals:
a. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
b. Copper sulphate (CuSO4)

i. Sodium Phosphate (Na3PO4)
Theory
Chocolates is a highly commercialised and
money-making programme. In the modern
factories tons of bitter cocoa beans are
turned into one of the world’s favourite’s
confectionaries.
Today chocolates are made available to us
much guarded secret formula involving
varying seeds, ingredients, combinations of
fermentation-roasting timings-temperature
etc. Flavours such as mint, coffee, orange,
Strawberry etc. are some of the add ones
Also, today the chocolates can contain
ingredients as peanut, different types of
walnuts, dry fruits, caramels, crisped rice
etc.
Usually, the chocolates can be categorized
into one the following groups:
a) Bitter
b) Bitter sweet
c) Unsweetened
d) Dark sweetened
e) Milk chocolates
f) Cocoa powder
g) Cocoa sauce/syrup
Procedure
Organic tests and Inorganic tests done to
find the presents of the different in
chocolates.
 Biuret test – for proteins

 Translucent spot test – for fat
 Molisch’s test – for carbohydrates
 Fehling’s solution test – for
carbohydrates
 Tollen’s test – for carbohydrates
Tests for identification of Calcium and

Magnesium (Good Substances) and also
tests for identification of Lead and Nickel
(Poisonous Substances) were also done.
Result
 All samples studied showed that they
contain PROTEIN.

APPLICATION
Chocolate analysis helps to find out the
presence of biomolecules like protein, fat,
calcium etc. in chocolates.
