Abstract[English]
Some aspects of the disclosure relate to multi-stage processes for preparing an alkalized cocoa material. In some examples, the process includes mixing cocoa and alkalization agents together, and mixing/heating until reaching an elevated mixing temperature. The process may include mixing these components together at the elevated mixing temperature for at least one hold period to provide a mixture, then aerating the mixture. The process may include an additional treatment or treatments at a held elevated temperature. The process may then include drying the mixture to provide an alkalized cocoa material.[French]
Certains aspects de la divulgation concernent des procédés à étapes multiples pour préparer une substance de type cacao alcalinisé. Dans certains exemples, le procédé consiste à mélanger du cacao et des agents d'alcalinisation, et mélanger/chauffer jusqu'à atteindre une température de mélange élevée. Le procédé peut consister à mélanger ces composants à la température de mélange élevée pendant au moins une période de maintien pour obtenir un mélange, puis aérer le mélange. Le procédé peut comprendre un traitement supplémentaire ou des traitements supplémentaires à une température élevée maintenue. Le procédé peut ensuite consister à sécher le mélange pour obtenir une substance de type cacao alcalinisé.
