Abstract: Frost in chocolate can result in the decrease of product quality, which is a worldwide problem in the confectionery industry. The mechanisms of frost in chocolate are varied as the change of matrix oil types. In this article, the effects of matrix oil compositions, processing conditions and storage conditions on frost in chocolate have been discussed. Meanwhile, the possible mechanisms of frost in chocolate have been summarized. Moreover, the corresponding strategies for attenuating the formation of frost in chocolate have also been proposed. All of these investigations will provide a theoretical guidance for chocolate production.
