Water
activity (aw) and sorption behavior of selected wrapped chocolate tablets as
well as the behavior of various caramel filled chocolate bars (composite bars)
during storage were determined. A correlation was observed between the elapsed
shelf-life of the wrapped chocolate tablets and their aw suggesting that
moisture migration through the wrapping material takes place during storage, leading
to an increase in aw. The storage life of composite bars filled with caramel is
dictated by the rate of moisture transfer from the filling to the chocolate coating
and subsequent increase in aw.
