Chocolate is one of the most popular sweets in the world. In recent years, the bean-to-bar process for chocolate production has attracted global attention. Bean-to-bar is a method of managing the whole production process from cocoa beans to chocolate bars, including single-origin chocolate (SOC). Many manufacturers aim to produce high-quality chocolate to maximize the flavor of cocoa beans. However, chocolate compounds are very complex due to many processes, and there are a limited number of studies on the SOC produced from the bean-to-bar process. Therefore, understanding the effects of processing is important for the growth of the chocolate industry. The objective of this study was to investigate the processing effect on the component changes of SOC during the bean-to-bar process. In this study, the component changes during the bean-to-bar process were monitored using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Then, the characteristics of SOC from five regions in Indonesia were further investigated. Lastly, the component profiles were combined with the data obtained from sensory evaluation. Our results showed that the influence of the manufacturing process was greater than that of the difference in the cocoa production area. Moreover, 1-pentanol, raffinose, and heptanoic acid were correlated with sweetness and dairy flavor, whereas glutamic acid, tartaric acid, 3-methyl-2-butanone, mannitol, and ethyl cinnamate were correlated with bitterness, astringency, and cocoa flavor, which were shown to be affected by fermentation, roasting, and sugar addition. This information might provide a basis for improving the chocolate production process and its quality related to the component profiles.
