Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Powder Manufacturing Process - Three Stages
Cocoa butter and cocoa powder are important raw materials for the production of chocolate, and their original raw material is cocoa beans. So what is the manufacturing process of cocoa butter and cocoa powder in the industry? The following will be divided into three stages for everyone to introduce.
First Stage - Pretreatment of Cocoa Bean
1. Cleaning cocoa beans
Raw cocoa beans usually contain some impurities, such as dirt, sand, leaves and so on. For the safety of food production and the processing quality of cocoa powder and cocoa butter, the first step of the treatment is carried out with a cocoa cleaning and stone removing machine.
2. Roasting cocoa
Roast raw cocoa beans to reduce moisture, while the temperature and time of roasting will determine the aroma and flavor of the chocolate.
3. Peeling and crushing cocoa beans
The roasted cocoa beans become cocoa nibs after being peeled and crushed. Cocoa nibs are the raw materials for making chocolate. This cocoa nib is not suitable for direct consumption and is bitter.
4. Grinding - produce cocoa mass
After the cocoa nibs are heated and grinded by cocoa grinding machine, they become a flowing paste and become a "cocoa mass". After cooling, they form a hard block and become a "cocoa liquor". The cocoa liquor adds various secondary materials to form chocolate of various flavors.
Second Stage - Manufacturing Cocoa Butter
1. Pressing
Cocoa liquor contains about 55% fat. If you press the cocoa liquor by cocoa butter press machine, you can extract the "cocoa oil" (the same as soybean extract soybean oil).
2. Filtration
Filter and remove some residues contained in cocoa oil to ensure its purity.
3. Cooling
Cocoa oil cools to become a cocoa butter solid, which is rich in natural hot oils and is a must-have for chocolate artisans to make a variety of glamorous chocolates.
Third Stage - Manufacturing Cocoa Powder
1. Corse crushing
After cocoa liquor squeezes out the cocoa butter, the remaining chunk is called cocoa cake. Because of its large volume, it is first coarsely pulverized into a powder.
2. Fine crushing
The second time, fine pulverization is carried out to produce more fine cocoa powder and improve the quality.
