LEBENSMITTELPRODUKTE MIT ERHÖHTEM KAKAOPOLYPHENOLGEHALT SOWIE VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG DERSELBEN

摘要

The invention provides a dry cocoa mix having conserved concentrations of polyphenols, and in particular cocoa polyphenols. The method of this invention avoids the significant and detrimental polyphenol losses that occur during conventional manufacture by controlling the handling of ingredients in the batching process to provide a product containing a significant amount of the cocoa polyphenols present in the raw materials used to formulate the finished product. The cocoa polyphenol containing ingredient is partially defatted cocoa solids.
