Can’t get enough of chocolates? Thank, or blame,the microbes.

A “tablea tsokalate” without the grainy texture and bitter, burnt-like taste of some commercially produced tablea, will be one of several biotechnology applications to be featured during the National Biotechnology Week from November 23 – 28, 2015 at the SM City Dasmariñas, Cavite.

This better and more delicious version of the tablea chocolate is the product of a study by UP Los Baños scientists headed by Dr. Jessica Simbahan, and funded by the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).
