Cocoa Extract

Cocoa Extract – Natural Flavor and Antioxidant for Confectionery & Beverages

Product Overview

Cocoa Extract is a natural concentrate derived from fermented and roasted cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), rich in flavonoids, theobromine, and polyphenols. It provides a deep chocolate aroma, smooth bitterness, and functional antioxidant benefits that make it ideal for beverages, confectionery, bakery, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic applications. Known for its cardiovascular and mood-enhancing properties, Cocoa Extract delivers both flavor and wellness in a single ingredient.

Available in spray-dried, water-soluble, and fat-soluble formats, our extracts retain the rich aroma and active compounds of natural cocoa.
