Chocolate is prepared with the help of microbes. Chocolate comes from the seeds of cacao trees. These seeds are in a white fleshy pod. To get the seeds out of the pod, the pod is allowed to ferment with naturally occurring microbes that include yeasts and bacteria that produce an acid that helps to eat away the seed pod cacao beans. Fermentation lasts for 7 days and is carried out by microbes which occur naturally on the plant.Unfermented beans do not produce chocolate flavour so chocolate can only

be made with the help of microbes.

What is the microorganism of chocolate?

Chocolate has no microorganisms. It is a compound of ground cacao beans and sugar. Sometimes powdered milk is added to make milk chocolate.

You may be thinking of micronutrients like anti-oxidants. Chocolate has several micronutrients many of which are very useful but this does not make chocolate a health food. The amount of fat and sugar (even in a dark chocolate bar) in chocolate means that it should be eaten sparingly. Luckily, chocolate has a very strong flavor and a little can go a long way. ;) Hope this helps, D
