Abstract
In the present application, alkalization of cocoa natural products may be carried out by using a stable alkaline water (pH levels of up to 10.5 or more) with the aim to produce alkalized chocolate products with pleasant organoleptic, less sugar content, less acidity, high antioxidants contents, and addition of novel soluble ingredients to chocolate. This can be achieved by using the stable alkaline water produced by a Natralysis Process in alkalizing cocoa nibspre, during and post grinding, alkalizing the cocoa liquor and alkalizing the natural cocoa powder. The present application discloses a method or apparatus (3, 9, 15) in which a cocoa natural product and/or one or more of its derivatives is alkalized by using stable alkaline water.
