Frequently Asked Questions
What is cocoa mass and how is it made?
Cocoa mass is made by grinding roasted cocoa beans. The product contains both natural cocoa fat (cocoa butter) and dry cocoa solids, making it the basic raw material for chocolate production.
What are the industrial applications of cocoa mass?
Cocoa mass is primarily used in the production of chocolate, confectionery, chocolate fillings, coatings, and desserts. It can also be used in formulations that require an intense cocoa flavor.
How does cocoa mass affect the sensory properties of a product?
Cocoa mass is responsible for the intensity of the cocoa flavor and aroma in the final product. It also affects the color and characteristic texture of chocolate products.
Is cocoa mass different from cocoa powder?
Yes. Cocoa mass contains natural cocoa butter, while cocoa powder is produced after separating part of the fat from the cocoa mass. As a result, cocoa powder has a significantly lower fat content.
Where can I buy cocoa mass?
Cocoa mass can be purchased through the FDCM platform, which offers raw materials and ingredients used in food, supplements, and animal feed.
