As we all know, cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans, which is expensive. So, do you know how to make cocoa powder from cocoa beans? You must know the following.
What is the process of making cocoa powder?
Cocoa bean - Roasting - Peeling - Grinding - Oil Press - Coarse Grinding - Fine Grinding - Cocoa Powder - Packing
Cocoa Bean Roasting:
Chocolate makers typically buy cocoa beans from major cocoa-producing countries. The first step is to roast the cocoa beans. Baking temperature and time will determine the aroma and flavor of the chocolate, which is a crucial step. Generally speaking, the baking temperature is between 120 and 160 degrees Celsius.
Cocoa nibs are made by peeling and crushing the roasted cocoa beans. In this process, all the skins of the cocoa beans must be removed, otherwise the quality of the cocoa powder will be affected. Cocoa nibs are the raw material for making chocolate.
Cocoa Liquor Grinding:
Pour the cocoa nibs directly into a cocoa grinder for grinding. When ground and heated, it becomes a fluid paste known as "cocoa mass". After cooling, hard lumps form and become "cocoa liquor".
Cacao nibs can be turned into cocoa mass because cacao nibs contain about 55% fat. The cocoa pulp is squeezed in a hydraulic press to extract "cocoa butter".
Coarse Shredding
After the cocoa mass is hydraulically pressed out of the cocoa butter (or part of the cocoa butter), the remaining substance is called cocoa cake. It's thick and hard, so smash it coarsely.
Fine Powder Grinding
Qualified cocoa powder products must pass through a sieve, and the fineness must meet certain requirements. Therefore, we need to finely grind the coarsely crushed cocoa powder again to achieve a fineness of 100 mesh or 200 mesh.
