Consumers get Cocoa Extract Powder from the seed pulp of the Theobroma cacao, better known as cocoa beans. Fermentation, drying, defatting, solvent extraction, fine milling, and spray drying are the various controlled processes used to produce it. When it’s ready, you get a powder that’s a rich brown color, smooth to the touch, and aromatic with cocoa. Generally, it is sold in concentrated form, so it is strong and simpler to make into various products. Polyphenols, with flavanols like epicatechin and catechin, are the main active compounds in it. These organic compounds are recognized for being antioxidants and help in sustaining good health. Its key purpose is to support circulation and provide antioxidants, which is why it is used in health-related products. Dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, cosmetics, and sports nutrition are some of the industries where it is popular. As people become more interested in plant-based and functional ingredients, it is expected to grow in the market because it is a versatile and evidence-based natural product.
