Colour, Flavour |
The
De Zaan™ range of cocoa powders from ADM has
been developed to provide the best flavour and
colour without sacrificing
quality. The De Zaan™ range
extends from natural cocoa powder through to highly
alkalised, rich cocoa powders.
Depending
on the origin, degree
of alkalisation and fat content, De
Zaan™ Cocoa
Powders provide the right flavour and
colour for the right application.
Typical cocoa powders include:
 De Zaan™ 250-DP-11
“A mildly alkalised cocoa with good colour
and flavour”
De
Zaan™ D-11-S
“A European-style cocoa with rich
flavour, dark brown in appearance”
Generally, the higher the degree of alkalisation of the cocoa powder, the more
dispersible it becomes. However, to enhance dispersion in water or milk, De
Zaan™ lecithinated
cocoa powder is also available.
