Product Description:
Cocoa powder includes natural cocoa powder and alkalized cocoa powder.
Natural cocoa powder is a light brown cocoa powder produced by processing cocoa beans without adding any additives; while alkalized cocoa powder is produced by adding edible alkali during the processing of cocoa beans, and the color of the cocoa powder is also deepened, and the aroma is much stronger than natural cocoa powder. This is distinguished from the processing process, and ordinary people cannot distinguish. Let's compare it from the aspects of use and appearance.
Natural cocoa powder is lighter in color than alkalized cocoa powder, and its aroma is not as strong as alkalized cocoa powder. In terms of use, alkalized cocoa powder has a wider range of uses. Generally speaking, natural cocoa powder is not used in the production of liquid products because its solubility is not high (about 20-30%); alkalized cocoa powder can be used in the production of any food and can be taken directly. Because the cost of alkalized cocoa powder is higher than that of natural cocoa powder, general food manufacturers basically use natural cocoa powder if they are producing solid products; and alkalized cocoa powder is used when producing liquid products such as liquid milk and beverages. The chocolate on the market is basically made of natural cocoa powder, while chocolate-flavored milk tea is made of alkalized powder.
There is another important difference between natural cocoa powder and alkalized cocoa powder, that is, the pH value is different. The pH value of natural cocoa powder is generally between 5.0 and 5.8; the pH value of alkalized cocoa powder is generally between 6.2 and 7.5.
