Product Introduction
Cocoa brown pigment is a natural colorant derived from the beans of the cacao tree. It offers a rich, warm brown tone that is often associated with chocolate products. Widely used in various industries, this pigment is favored for its stability and non-toxic properties. The natural origin and appealing hue make cocoa brown pigment a popular choice for both food and non-food applications.
Production Process
The production of cocoa brown pigment begins with the harvesting of ripe cocoa pods. Once harvested, the cocoa beans are fermented, dried, and roasted to develop their characteristic flavor and color. After roasting, the beans are ground into a fine powder, which is then processed to separate the pigment from the cocoa butter and other components. This process ensures that the resulting pigment retains its rich color and remains suitable for various applications.
