What is Cocoa Bean Powder?

Cocoa bean powder is made from roasted cocoa beans, which are the seeds of the cacao tree.

It’s a versatile ingredient used in baking, beverages, and various food products.
It’s naturally rich in flavanols, fiber, and essential minerals.

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.

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.
