Cocoa Bean Extract Cocoa Bean Powder Specification

Cocoa Powder Classification

It is classified into high-fat, medium-fat and low-fat according to its cocoa butter content. High-fat cocoa butter content of 20.0%-24.0%, medium-fat cocoa butter content of 10.0%-12.0%, low-fat cocoa butter content of 8%.

It is divided into natural cocoa powder and alkalised cocoa powder according to the alkalisation process. Natural cocoa powder is the cocoa beans in the process of processing into cocoa powder without adding any additives to produce a light brown powder; and alkalised cocoa powder is in the cocoa bean processing process added edible alkali, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating the ph value, at the same time, the colour of the cocoa powder is also deepened, and the aroma is much thicker than the natural cocoa powder.

Natural cocoa powder is not used in the production of liquid products, because the solubility is about 30%; alkalised cocoa powder can be used in the production of any food products, and can also be taken directly.The pH value of natural cocoa powder is generally between 5.0-5.8; the pH value of alkalised cocoa powder is generally between 6.2-7.5.

Cocoa Powder vs. Cacao Powder

• Cacao: Refers to the raw, unprocessed beans.
• Cocoa: Refers to the powder made from roasted and processed cacao beans.

The key difference is in the processing temperature; cocoa powder is typically roasted at higher temperatures than cacao powder, which is often sold as a raw product.

The plant used to make chocolate is called the cacao tree. It makes a fruit called cacao beans. Raw beans can be crushed into cacao powder. But if the beans are roasted first, they become cocoa powder.

Unroasted cacao powder is more bitter than cocoa powder. It also has more nutrients and caffeine.x

Cocoa powder is the product of cocoa bean processing. We will take out the cocoa beans from the fruit of the cocoa tree, and the cocoa beans will be cleaned, screened, roasted and dehulled, and then after post-processing we will get cocoa liquor. Cocoa liquor is an important raw material for the production of chocolate. And pure cocoa powder is the remaining ingredient after cocoa liquor extracts cocoa butter.

Applications of Cocoa Bean Powder

Cocoa bean powder (and raw cacao) is a versatile ingredient used for baking (cakes, brownies), hot/cold beverages, smoothies, and oatmeal, providing a rich chocolate flavor. It is also used in savory dishes like mole sauce, in dietary supplements for antioxidant/cardiovascular health, and in skincare products.

• Baking & Cooking: Used in cakes, cookies, brownies, pastries, and bread dough to provide a deep, unsweetened chocolate flavor.
• Beverages: Essential for hot chocolate, smoothies, coffee-based mochas, and milkshakes.
• Confectionery: A primary ingredient in making chocolate bars, truffles, and compound chocolates.
• Nutraceuticals/Health Foods: Added to protein shakes, energy bars, and supplements for its high antioxidant and magnesium content.
• Savory Dishes: Used to add depth to chili, stews, and mole sauces.
• Skincare: Incorporated into scrubs or masks due to its high antioxidant profile and ability to support skin health.

Differences in Application

Natural Cocoa Powder: More acidic and lighter in color; ideal for recipes with baking soda.
Alkalized (Dutch-processed) Cocoa Powder: Darker, smoother, and less acidic; better for beverages and cakes where a deep color is desired.
Raw Cacao Powder: Less processed, retaining higher nutrient levels, but more bitter.
