Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an alkalized cocoa powder with a pH of 7.5 or less, a ratio pH: alkalinity of the ash below 0.046, colour coordinates L between 9.0 and 14.0, a between 4.0 and 8.0 and b between 2.0 and 6.0, in which not more or other acid radicals are present than those by nature present in fermented cocoa, and also to foodstuffs containing such an alkalized cocoa powder.
