From Wikipedia, Adding an alkali produces Dutch process cocoa powder, which is less acidic, darker and more mellow in flavor than what is generally available in most of the world. Regular (nonalkalized) cocoa is acidic, so when added to an alkaline ingredient like baking soda, the two react and leave a byproduct.

Dutch chocolate ____________________________________________________________ The cocoa press allowed cocoa butter to be used in cosmetic items such as soaps and lotions. The cacao that was left without the butter is called rock cocoa which is ground further into a powder. This powder with sugar was used to make hot chocolate. This invention was the catalyst in cocoa technology that brought inexpensive, affordable chocolate into the marketplace. The cocoa liquor and butter could be sold for high profits to cosmetics and food companies. It was Van Houten's invention of alkali processing that was used to treat the pressed cocoa that produced Dutch processed chocolate. For more info search under "What is Dutch processed chocolate?"
