Frequently Asked Questions
Why is "Fat Reduced" (10-12%) cocoa powder better for beverage formulations?
Standard cocoa powder usually contains 20-24% fat. In beverage production, excess cocoa butter can lead to fat separation and clumping. Our 10-12% low-fat powder improves dispersibility and ensures stable suspension in both dairy and plant-based milks.
How does the "Alkalized" process affect the baking outcome?
Natural cocoa is acidic (pH 5-6) and reacts with baking soda. Our alkalized cocoa (pH 7-8) is chemically neutralized; it does not react with baking soda but provides darker color and smoother, less bitter taste. Use baking powder as leavening agent for optimal results.
Can you provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and heavy metal testing reports?
Yes. We provide comprehensive COA with every batch, including sensory analysis, physical parameters, and microbial limits. Heavy metal testing (Lead/Cadmium) is performed regularly to ensure compliance with EU and FDA regulations.
Can I use it for cold-processed drinks like iced coffee or frappes?
Absolutely. Our powder dissolves 85%+ in cold liquids, making it ideal for iced cocoa, frappes, or blended shakes. For best results, pre-mix with small amount of hot water before adding cold ingredients.
Does it meet food safety standards for global markets?
Yes. It complies with strict microbiological limits and heavy metal standards. Certifications (ISO, FSSC 22000) are available upon request.
Can it be used in functional/health beverages?
Yes! Its natural polyphenols and minimal processing make it suitable for antioxidant-rich drinks, protein shakes, or low-sugar functional beverages.
