Cocoa powder is a powdery substance made from cocoa beans through fermentation, coarse crushing, peeling, defatting and other processes.
According to the fat content, it is divided into:
• High-fat cocoa powder (≥20% cocoa butter): used for high-end chocolate and desserts, with a rich taste.
• Medium-fat cocoa powder (14%-19%): commonly used in the baking field, such as cakes and biscuits.
• Low-fat cocoa powder (≤13%): suitable for low-calorie foods and beverages.
According to the processing technology, it is divided into:
• Natural cocoa powder: not alkalized, pH value 5.0-5.8, light brown, strong acidity, and needs to be used with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to neutralize the acidity.
• Alkalized cocoa powder: treated with potassium/sodium solution to neutralize the acidity, pH value 6.5-8.5, darker color (brown red to dark brown), better solubility, suitable for direct beverages or liquid foods.
