Alkalized Cocoa powder

Alkalized Cocoa Powder (CAS 95009-22-6), also known as Dutch-process cocoa, is a treated cocoa ingredient where natural cocoa has been processed with an alkalizing agent to neutralize acidity and deepen color and flavor intensity. It functions as a flavoring and coloring ingredient across a broad range of food manufacturing applications. In confectionery and bakery manufacturing, it delivers the dark color and smooth, mellow chocolate flavor characteristic of premium cookies.

Beverage producers use it in hot cocoa mixes, chocolate-flavored drink powders, and ready-to-mix formats where a less bitter, more soluble cocoa profile is required for the final consumer product. Ice cream and dairy dessert formulators incorporate it to achieve consistent chocolate flavor and visual appeal across batch production. It also appears in coating compounds, fillings, and dry seasoning blends.

This ingredient is essential where controlled cocoa intensity is a formulation requirement. The product is supplied as a fine, free-flowing powder in a range of fat contents, typically low-fat and medium-fat grades. Food-grade specifications are standard, with product commonly meeting FCC requirements. It is available in bulk bags and smaller packaging formats suited to both industrial-scale and mid-volume procurement.
