EVALUATION OF MILK CHOCOLATE SAMPLES BASED ON TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY AND TOTAL POLYPHENOL CONTENT ANALYSES

Chocolate is a product consumed by the majority of the population and is highlighted by the content of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. The paper presents a study on total antioxidant capacity and  total polyphenol content for several milk chocolate samples .Cluster analysis and spatial interpolation are some of the best methods to evaluate the declared origin of chocolate samples and help to explain the difference between samples.
