Micro analysis - Sweets & Confectionary

Hi All.

I am starting to think about my next assignment for my course and wondered if anyone could answer my query.

I want to do something on the micro analysis of confectionery, such as chocolate, boiled sweets, fudge, mints, jellies - that type of thing.

Where could I find information on parameters for micro analysis on this type of high sugar, low water activity (fairly low risk) product. I would do salmonella on the chocolate and osmo yeats & mould on all the sweets, but I can't find any guidance specifically related to sweets.

Anyone know where I can look?

Dear poppy,

One immediate source on confectionary, though getting a little old, is the chapter in attachment I added in this link –
