Cocoa extract is a natural functional botanical ingredient processed from roasted and defatted cocoa beans. Rich in cocoa flavanols, polyphenols and theobromine, this plant extract has become a mainstream raw material in global nutritional supplements and functional food industries. Compared with ordinary cocoa powder, concentrated cocoa extract features higher active content, lower fat and purer composition, which better meets the standardized formulation requirements of high-end health products.

Our cocoa extract is produced through low-temperature water-alcohol extraction, degreasing purification and spray drying technology. The whole production process effectively removes cocoa fat, redundant carbohydrates and insoluble impurities, while fully retaining core active substances including total flavanols and theobromine. Most common cocoa raw materials on the market contain high fat and large amounts of inactive ingredients, resulting in low nutritional utilization. Our standardized cocoa extract powder has uniform color, stable batch indicators and good solubility, without bitter residue and peculiar smell. No artificial pigments, synthetic flavors or unnecessary fillers are added during processing.
