Cocoa paste, whether or not defatted
CPC v2.1 Code: 2361
About cocoa paste, whether or not defatted
cpc code 2361 covers the production of cocoa paste, a crucial ingredient in the manufacturing of chocolate and other cocoa-based products. As a key component of the global confectionery industry, the cocoa paste market plays a vital role in satisfying the worldwide demand for chocolate and related goods. This industry's output is essential for a wide range of downstream 2362 Cocoa butter, fat, and oil and 2363 Cocoa powder industries, contributing to the overall growth and development of the broader food processing sector.
Production process
The production of cocoa paste typically involves roasting, winnowing, and grinding of cocoa beans. The roasting process helps develop the desired flavor and aroma, while winnowing separates the nibs from the shells. The nibs are then ground into a smooth, liquid paste, which can be further processed to create defatted or non-defatted cocoa paste, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use applications.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the cocoa paste industry include raw cocoa beans, which are sourced from major producing regions around the world, such as West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for roasting, winnowing, and grinding the cocoa beans into the final paste product. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential for powering the production facilities.
Production outputs
The main output of cpc code 2361 is cocoa paste, which can be either defatted or non-defatted, depending on the processing method. This cocoa paste is then consumed by various downstream industries, including 2362 Cocoa butter, fat, and oil and 2363 Cocoa powder, which use it as a key ingredient in the manufacture of chocolate, confectionery, and other cocoa-based products. The cocoa paste industry's output is a crucial component of the global food processing and confectionery supply chains.
