Chapter-II: Objectives of the study • Short History of Chocolate

A delicate tree, cacao is only grown in rain forests in the tropics, usually on large plantations, where it must be protected from wind and intense sunlight. The tree is harvested twice a year.
Milk chocolate was invented in 1876 by a Swiss chocolatier, Daniel Peter (1836-1919) of Vevey, Geneva. Daniel Peter successfully combined chocolate with powdered milk to produce the first milk chocolate. Today, the finest chocolate is still made in Switzerland, and the consumption of milk chocolate far outweighs that of plain chocolate.
Chocolate was introduced to the United States in 1765 when John Hanan brought cocoa beans from the West Indies into Dorchester, Massachusetts, to refine them with the help of Dr. James Baker. The first chocolate factory in the country was established there. • Chocolate Glossary

    In 1847, Joseph Fry discovered a way to mix some melted cacao butter back into defatted, or "Dutched" cocoa powder along with sugar to create a paste that could be pressed into a mold. The resulting bar was such a hit that people soon began to think of eating chocolate as much as drinking it. Many people credit this as the very first chocolate bar for eating.John Cadbury added a similar product to his range in 1849, and by today's standards these original chocolate bars would not be considered very palatable. The early eating bars of chocolate were made of bittersweet chocolate.…

    Chocolate first spread beyond mesoamerica when Montezuma of Tenonchtitlan introduced Henan Cortez, a Spanish Conquistador, to it in the 16th century. Henan Cortez then brought it back to the Spanish court in 1528 along with the equipment used for brewing it. Chocolate didn't become popular until after the downfall of the Aztec Empire, where then Cortez intensified cultivation efforts in New Spain.The first recorded shipment of chocolate for commercial purposes was in 1585 from Veracruz to Sevilla. By the 17th century, chocolate (cocoa) began arriving in ports throughout Europe as King Loius XIII married Spanish Princess Anne in 1615. The Europeans added cane sugar to counteract the bitterness while removing the chili pepper as well. In less than a century, chocolate spread and became popular throughout Europe and became fashionable amongst the nobility of Europe. From Europe chocolate spread eastward and into the rest of the world as trade increased.…

    American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk only surpassed by the cheese and ice cream industries, and as of 2006, consumers spent more than $7,000,000 a year on chocolate related products.() So why do we spend so much time and money on such a small chunk of sugar? Well I believe it is because the candy industry in America has greatly exposed our awareness to the delicious treat.

    The first key invention that revolutionized chocolate production was the hydraulic press invented by Conrad Van Houten in 1828 (Presilla 39). During this process, chocolate liquor is put into a small cylinder. The tremendous force produced by this cylinder squeezes out the fat from the chocolate, separating the cocoa butter and leaving a round puck of cocoa powder. Each ingredient can be consumed for its original use or combined (Presilla 40). A second invention of the conch by Rodolphe Lindt in 1879 made the production of chocolate cheaper and more appealing (Presilla 40). Van Houten 's press combined with this new invention made it possible to produce a higher quality of chocolate with a cheaper and more consistent product, which made it popular with mass consumption. Although the Industrial Revolution initially introduced techniques and machines, computers have now allowed us a level of control, speed, and precision that are achieved now by manufacturers. As a result, manufacturers were looking for ways to improve the consistency and quality of their product without raising costs. Modern innovations of producing chocolate led to the low pay of workers in factories and fewer jobs for those people as well as the desire for cheaper costs and technology advancements have grown. Cocoa production now is only apparent in forested…
