What is Natural Cocoa Powder?

Natural cocoa powder is derived directly from roasted cocoa beans. It has a light brown color, a strong and sharp chocolate flavor, and is slightly acidic with a pH ranging from 5 to 6. Ideal for baking, it reacts with baking soda to create a beautiful rise in cakes and cookies. Natural cocoa powder is a popular choice for artisan bakeries and health-focused food manufacturers seeking clean-label ingredients.

What is Alkalized (Dutch-Processed) Cocoa Powder?

Alkalized cocoa powder, also known as Dutch-processed cocoa, undergoes a treatment with an alkaline solution to neutralize its acidity. This process results in a darker color, milder flavor, and a smoother texture. Alkalized cocoa is preferred in recipes where a deep, rich chocolate flavor and darker color are desired, such as in premium chocolates, ice creams, beverages, and biscuits.

Industrial Use Cases for Cocoa Powder

• Bakery Sector: Cakes, cookies, brownies, pastries, and artisan breads.
• Confectionery Industry: Chocolates, truffles, and gourmet sweets.
• Beverages: Chocolate drinks, milkshakes, and ready-to-drink formulas.
• Ice Cream and Dairy: Flavored ice creams, yogurts, and milk-based desserts.
• Health Foods: Protein bars, energy bites, and plant-based desserts.

Both natural and alkalized cocoa powders offer distinct advantages depending on the desired final product characteristics and pH balance requirements in formulations.
