Description

Alkalized cocoa powder 10-12 is a product obtained by separating cocoa fat from cocoa mass and grinding the remaining solids. The alkalization process neutralises the natural acidity of cocoa, giving the powder a milder taste, darker colour and better solubility and stability in industrial applications.

Alkalized cocoa powder contains 10-12% cocoa butter, which gives it an intense flavour and good texture. The product is natural, GMO-free and microbiologically pure in accordance with food industry requirements. It comes in the form of a fine, brown powder with a typical cocoa aroma.

Technical aspects

Alkalized cocoa powder is a product with a free-flowing, homogeneous structure and a characteristic aroma. Thanks to alkalization, it has a higher pH, intense colour and greater stability. The product is free from enzymatic activity and microbiological contamination.

Application

Alkalized cocoa powder 10-12% is widely used in the production of confectionery, chocolate, biscuits, cakes, creams, cocoa drinks and ice cream. Thanks to its balanced pH, the powder improves the taste and colour of the final product and increases its solubility.

Alkalized cocoa powder 10-12% is also used in instant recipes and in functional foods as a natural flavouring and colouring ingredient. It is ideal for industrial applications where product stability, microbiological safety and a deep chocolate flavour profile are required.

Package

The product is packaged in 25 kg bags or “big bags”. Available in various formats – tailored to industrial needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “alkalized” mean?
Alkalized cocoa powder (also known as Dutch cocoa) has been treated with an alkalizing agent to reduce its acidity and darken its color. As a result, it has a milder flavor and better solubility compared to non-alkalized cocoa.
How does alkalized cocoa differ from natural cocoa?
Natural cocoa powder is more acidic and has a lighter color and a more pronounced chocolate flavor. Alkalized cocoa has a milder flavor, darker color, and better compatibility with other ingredients in baked goods and beverages.
What are the typical uses for alkalized cocoa powder?
Alkalized cocoa powder is used in chocolate-flavored beverages, baked goods (cakes, cookies, brownies), confectionery, dairy products (chocolate milk, ice cream), and functional foods that require a more neutral cocoa flavor.
How does alkalization affect taste and color?
The alkalization process reduces bitterness and acidity, creating a milder, less tart chocolate flavor and a darker brown color, which may be desirable for the visual and sensory appeal of the finished products.
What is the difference between light and dark alkalized cocoa powder?
Different grades of alkalization vary in the degree of pH adjustment: lighter grades have a milder flavor and color, while darker grades have a more intense color and milder flavor. The designation 10-12 typically refers to the fat content or pH range, depending on the supplier's standards.
Where can I buy 10-12% alkalized cocoa powder?
Alkalized cocoa powder 10-12% can be purchased through the FDCM platform, which offers raw materials and ingredients used in food, supplements, and animal feed.
