EP0593833A1 Method for the reduction of the viscosity of
The viscosity of cocoa liquor is reduced by treating the cocoa liquor in a high pressure homogenizer. The lower viscosity makes it possible to reduce the time consumption in the separation of cocoa butter from cocoa powder in a filter press, thus increasing the capacity of the filter press. The low viscosity makes it possible to use other types of separation, such as centrifugation or ...
