Cocoa powder is a natural or organic product that is majorly used as a flavoring agent in the food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. It is prominently used as a flavoring agent in the production of desserts, majorly chocolate varieties, and baked items such as cakes, cookies, pastries, and more. It serves as an additive in beverages, including flavored milk, drinks, smoothies, wines, liquors, beers, etc. Cocoa powder is a well-known ingredient used to add an earthy flavor to edible products.
The powder is rich in antioxidants and has a rough texture, which is also useful in the preparation of cosmetics and skincare products. It can be included in the production of face masks, face scrubs, and body scrubs and is added to give a cocoa flavor in lotions, creams, cleansers, and more. Similarly, it possesses polyphenols, that can help in treating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, and thus, is used in manufacturing certain medications in the healthcare sectors.
The demand for cocoa powder is strengthened by its applications, covering the food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors. Its major application in the production of edible products, including sweets, desserts, such as nutritive bars, chocolates, baked items (including cakes and cookies), and drinks, boosts its demand in the food and beverages industries. Similarly, its utilization as a flavoring agent in the preparation of cosmetics and body care or personal care products such as masks, scrubs, shower gels, lotions, creams, and more drives its demand in the cosmetics industry. Moreover, its application as a good source of antioxidants and polyphenols drives its demand in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.
Industrial cocoa powder procurement is determined by several natural and commercial factors, including the weather conditions (covering rainfall, temperature, wind pressure, etc., for the production of cocoa beans), along with the supply of cocoa beans (for cocoa powder production), and market prices of cocoa powder, etc. Moreover, its demand as a flavoring agent in food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors, along with the trade, logistics, and governmental policies, impacts its procurement on a large scale. Hence, changes in these factors, majorly its demand as a flavoring agent in edible and non-edible products (including cosmetics, etc.), is highly crucial for its procurement around the world.
Raw Material for Cocoa Powder Production
According to the cocoa powder manufacturing plant project report, the key raw material for Cocoa Powder production includes cocoa beans (from cocoa plant).
Manufacturing Process of Cocoa Powder
The extensive Cocoa Powder production cost report consists of the major industrial manufacturing process:
- From Cocoa Beans: Cocoa powder is produced by processing cocoa beans obtained from cocoa plants. The beans collected from the cocoa plant are processed through multiple steps covering roasting, winnowing, and grinding, which gives out cocoa liquor as an intermediate. The intermediate, i.e., cocoa liquor, is pressed to obtain the cocoa cake, which, on grinding, gives cocoa powder at the end.
Cocoa is an organic product obtained by processing cocoa beans from cocoa plants. It is a light to dark brown colored organic powder obtained by processing cocoa beans to give cocoa liquor, which is pressed to obtain the cake. The cake is further ground to get cocoa powder at the end. It has a strong, earthy fragrance and a bitter taste.
The cocoa powder is highly nutritive and rich in antioxidants. It is a major component in various edible and non-edible products (covering cosmetics and chemicals). It is a tropical plant product that serves as a flavoring element. It is available in two types including the Dutch variety and natural blend. The pure cocoa powder has a pH level ranging between 5.3 to 5.8 (approx.). However, the Dutch variety is obtained by processing the bean through an additional alkaline solution treatment, giving out darker brown shaded cocoa powder with a neutral pH level ranging between 6.8 to 8.1 on the scale.
