The differences between natural cocoa powder and alkalized cocoa powder are: PH value, processing technology, color, application scope and taste. Natural cocoa powder is light brown cocoa powder produced during the processing of cocoa beans without any additives. Alkalized cocoa powder means that waxy edible alkali is added during the processing of cocoa beans.

Difference between natural cocoa powder and alkalized cocoa powder

The color of natural cocoa powder is lighter than that of alkaline cocoa powder, and its aroma is not as strong as that of alkaline cocoa powder, so the application range of alkaline cocoa powder is very wide.

Generally speaking, natural cocoa powder is not used in the production of liquid products and cannot be directly taken with boiling water. The PH value is generally between 5.0 and 5.8.

Alkalized cocoa powder can be used to make any food, and can also be eaten directly. The PH value is generally between 6.2 and 7.5.
