In the present investigation, it was estimated the shelf life of two types of dark chocolate without packaging with 70 percent cocoa, taking as quality factors: fat bloom (whiteness index) and moisture gain. The study was conducted in commercial chocolates made with two different varieties of Peruvian cocoa, from the regions of Cusco and San Martín. The shelf life is determined by an accelerated method, assessing chocolates at three different temperature cycles: 17-27°C, 20-30°C and 23-33°C for 20 days of storage. From the selected data, they were constructed graphically for each cycle where the increase in the whiteness index and humidity is related to the storage time (days), which are adjusted to straight-line equations where the slope represents the velocity constant of reaction (k). The shelf life is determined by extrapolation of k in the Arrhenius equation corresponding to each quality descriptor, a temperature of 20 and 25°C (normal storage conditions). The critical values of each descriptor: fat bloom (whiteness index) and moisture gain, were determined by a preference sensory method. It was estimated that the shelf life of dark chocolates according to the fat bloom at 20°C was: 132 days (Cusco) and 115 days (San Martín); while for humidity at 20°C it was: 55 days (Cusco) and 58 days (San Martín).
