Why is Cocoa Processed with Alkali?
Cocoa alkalization is the process of treating cocoa solids to reduce the natural acidity and thus improve the flavor. A food-grade alkali solution raises the pH to improve the color and increase the flavor profile of the chocolate. Another term used that refers to the same process is “dutched” cocoa.
Common alkali solutions used in processing cocoa include potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide. Depending on the solution, the resulting color ranges from a light red to a dark charcoal black.
