Abstract
A selection of chocolate confectionery products have been studied non-invasively by three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using a spin echo pulse sequence, 128 × 64 × 64 data sets were acquired with either a 5- or 20-ms echo time, 500-ms repetition time and four signal averages, in a total 2-h scan time. Such images localize and distinguish between all the constituents, and visualize both internal and external structures. Calculation of the volume of the different constituents was carried automatically from these 3-D MRI data sets.
