Moisture migration and mold growth in a composite chocolate product

The behavior of caramel jamfilled chocolate candy during storage at room temperature was studied. Due to the transfer of moisture between components the water activity (aw) of the chocolate coating increased during storage at 25°C. This allowed growth of fungi, which contaminated the chocolate surfa...
