Alkalized cocoa powder, often called Dutch cocoa (or “Dutched cocoa” in English), is a type of cocoa powder that has undergone an alkalization process. This process involves treating cocoa beans with an alkaline solution, which affects several important aspects of the product:

Colour: Alkalization can affect the darker colour of cocoa powder, resulting in a darker and more intense finish in confectionery products.

Flavour: The process reduces the bitterness and acidity naturally present in cocoa, leading to a smoother and softer taste.

Solubility: alkalized cocoa usually dissolves better in liquids compared to natural cocoa powder.

Chemical properties: Alkalization affects the pH of cocoa powder, making it more alkaline. This can affect interactions with other ingredients, especially in baking. For example, baked goods that use alkalized cocoa may need to modify the amount or type of raising agent used.

Alkalized cocoa powder is often used in the confectionery industry, in chocolate production, desserts, ice cream and many other products. If a baking or dessert recipe calls for alkalized cocoa, it is advisable to use this particular type of cocoa, as substituting natural cacao can affect the end result in terms of both taste and texture.
