ChocoForm

Calculator for chocolatiers

ChocoForm is a professional calculator for chocolatiers – built around a deterministic food-science solver and a layered AI assistant. Design dark, milk and white chocolate from scratch, balance ganaches against real water-activity and shelf-life targets, and export branded recipe PDFs for production.

THE CHOCOLATE CALCULATOR • Dark, milk and white couvertures with EU 2000/36/EC compliance • Cocoa content, total fat, cocoa butter share, milk fat, milk solids non-fat • Sugar-free formulations with maltitol, sorbitol, isomalt, or polyol blends • Refiner-loss compensation, conching notes, tempering targets • Live composition donut + validation chips against your chosen limits

THE GANACHE CALCULATOR • Water-activity calculation across 11 solutes (sucrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, sorbitol, glycerin, salt, alcohol, cocoa, protein) • Solid fat content interpolated across 5 fat types – cocoa butter, dairy fat, palm, palm kernel, coconut • Shelf-life prediction at room and refrigerated temperatures • Plastic range, melting temperature, density, pH, Brix • Structural balance dashboard – five working percentages, industry baselines • Storage-temperature warnings for low-melting fats

Chapters 2–7 unlock with Pro and cover the structural dashboard, shelf-life triad, texture and storage, emulsifiers, bench preparation, and when to leave the working bands on purpose.
