Yes, both are the same. Cocoa mass is another name for cocoa liquor.
All chocolate is made up of the same ingredients, cocoa mass, cocoa butter and the extra milk and sweetener. The difference is that white chocolate contains very little or no cocoa liquor at all, where as dark chocolate contains a lot. Cocoa liquor is the mixture of cocoa oil and ground cocoa seeds.
Yes! Cocoa liquor has no alcohol content. However cocoa liqueur does.
No, it is an animal.
White chocolate: is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. Unlike chocolate, white chocolate contains neither chocolate liquor nor cocoa solids. Because white chocolate contains neither cocoa solids nor chocolate liquor (cocoa mass), it does not meet the standard to be marketed as chocolate in many countries.
No, but the cocoa liquor and cocoa powder parts of the cocoa bean do both contain caffeine.
Derived products from cocoa bean: - cocoa powder - cocoa oil - cocoa butter - cocoa liquor - chocolate
they are hulled to expose the nibs, the shells are sold as garden fodder, like pine bark, they grind it into a mass and the using a machine known as a Conching machine work it with rollers to expose the cocoa butter and make what is known as "Chocolate Liquor", it is then sweetened, or has milk and sugar added for either dark chocolate or milk, now for cocoa an alkaline is added and it is dried a lot like sugar is processed into a powder, white chocolate has only got cocoa butter which is derived from the cocoa mass when converting it to liquor. OR................. An even better answer would be this. The milling process releases the nibs liquid. It's called chocolate liquor, (with no alchol content of course!). The machine passes the nibs through presetts of millstones and the heat generator causes the liquid to change into chocolate liquor. Then the chocolate liquor is pumped into presses. Hydraulic pressure extracts cocoa butter from the chocolate liquor, leaving the cocoa solids. Chocolate liquor and some additional cocoa butter is added back into the manufactory process in precise amounts to make different types of chocolates. But the cakes of solid cocoa are what is left after the removal of cocoa butter. When the cakes are cooled, pulverized, and milled they become cocoa powder.
yes
Cocoa is made by separating the cocoa butter out of chocolate liquor, then drying the defatted chocolate liquor. You could probably mix sugar, cocoa powder and cocoa butter into a chocolate, but that would be more trouble than it's worth.
cocoa butter is about Rs.600 per kg, not sure about other items
Dark, milk and white chocolate is all the same mixture. The only difference is the amount of cocoa liquor added. This is a mixture of dark ground cocoa seeds with cocoa oil.
Yes. During chocolate making, the fibrous husk that surrounds each bean is removed through a process of breaking the bean into pieces, separating the husk from the bean, and then winnowing away the lighter husk from the heavier nibs by use of vacuums or high-pressure fans. The pieces of bean created during winnowing are called cocoa nibs. (The nibs are often ground up before being used to make chocolate, the result being called cocoa mass or cocoa liquor.) It is the nibs that contain the caffeine found in chocolate. The more nibs (or cocoa mass/cocoa liquor) used to make a piece of chocolate, the more caffeine it will contain.
