Cocoa beans also contain nerve center excitatory substances such as caffeine and tannins, which are closely related to the color, aroma and taste of chocolate. The melting point of cocoa butter is close to human body temperature, and it has the characteristics of melting in the mouth. It maintains a certain hardness at room temperature, and has a unique cocoa flavor. It has high nutritional value and is not easy to oxidize. It is the main raw material for making chocolate.
How to dry Cocoa in a dehydrator?
by Baixin Machinery
Directions:
1. Clean up. After cutting the cocoa and taking out the cocoa beans, discard the rotten ones that do not meet the specifications, then wash and drain the water, and then ferment and sun-dry for later use.
2. Dry and roast. Dry roasting of cocoa beans is very important. The harvested cocoa beans need to be dried and dehydrated before they can be processed and stored. Its function is to enhance and perfect the aroma of cocoa beans, so that the material has a bright luster. It turns the starch in the cells into soluble particles, making the shell brittle and easy to remove. Remove the water in the beans and change some chemical compositions in the beans to make the material more plastic. According to our application experience, we can consider using a cocoa bean dryer based on air energy technology to make the drying temperature and the drying quality of the cocoa beans more controllable.
3. Screening. The roasted cocoa is broken into pieces, while the broken shell, germ and bean are separated. This processing is done in a jigger. The principle of action of the sifter is to use the relative density of the substances to separate them by using the airflow during the movement of the objects.
4. Cocoa refining. Cocoa bean grinding is generally carried out in stages. In the first stage, the cocoa beans are separately ground into a paste, which is the initial grinding. In the second stage, the cocoa paste and other materials are ground to the fineness required for chocolate, which is called fine grinding. Practice has shown that the larger particles of soybean meat are first ground, and the dry matter particles can be ground to 50-120um, and then fine grinding can shorten the grinding time and obtain a larger proportion of micro-materials.
