Cocoa Butter is a natural fat extracted from the cocoa beans of the Theobroma cacao plant. While strong-flavored cocoa butter is often used in dark chocolate, the deodorized form—also called white cocoa butter—is preferred for milk chocolate and cosmetic applications due to its neutral scent.
Extraction
Step 1: Cocoa butter is extracted from cocoa beans
Step 2: Steam is injected into melted cocoa butter to remove volatile compounds responsible for its strong odor (deodorization process)
Step 3: The deodorized product is treated with diatomaceous earth and filtered to remove pigments, resulting in white cocoa butter
Composition
Deodorized cocoa butter primarily contains the glycerides of the following fatty acids:
Stearic acid
Palmitic acid
Oleic acid
Linoleic acid (in small amounts)
