The heat brings out more flavor and aroma, and it dries and darkens the beans. Then the cacao beans are cracked and winnowed, that is, their outer shells are cracked and blown away, leaving the crushed and broken pieces of cacao beans, called "nibs.". At this point, we have something edible 4 In the factory Grinding Roasted cocoa beans are converted into a liquid, the 'cocoa liquor' or 'cocoa mass'. The cocoa liquor can be used for `cocoa butter' or it can be mixed with cocoa butter and sugar to make chocolate. 5.

Nowwe want to take you through the steps to get from the cacao pod to the chocolate we know and love: A cacao pod will begin to ripen 5-6 months after it flowers. Each pod contains beans, the seeds of the fruit that are shaped like a flat almond, surrounded by a sweet pulp. There are roughly 30-50 beans in a typical pod. AyhQ6. explation on how chocolate is made Chocolate products Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating. Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. In side the fruits are the tree's seeds. They are also known as coco beans. Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts processing by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are grounded to make it liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why they ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter chocolate. Note on the Generic Structure of Explanation Sample. Every genre has its special purpose or social function. However if we see the generic structure point, we will get the understanding which both the explanation and procedure text have similar purposes. Both explain how to make or form something. However the procedure text will explain how to form or make something completely by instruction way. That is why most of procedure text is composed in command sentences. In the other hand, explanation text will show a knowledge about how thing is formed. The above example of explanation text has the following generic structure General statement; it is a statement which says about chocolate and how it is formed Sequenced explanation; it is a series of explanation on how chocolate is formed before we eat. First, the chocolate is coming from the cacao tree. Then it is fermented and ship to the chocolate producer. The cacao bean then are roasted and winnowed.

Create your account Lesson Quiz Course The cacao tree is an evergreen tree, which is a tree that has green leaves all year. This tree grows well in hot and humid climates and develops small white flowers. Some of these flowers grow fruit called pods. These pods can grow as big as a football and are very hard to break. When they are ready to be picked, they turn yellowish-orange maybe even red or purple depending on the type of cacao tree. A better way to tell is to shake the fruit to see if the seeds move around in the pod. If they do, it is ripe. When ripe, a person cuts them down with a large heavy knife and gathers them. This is called harvesting. Each pod has cocoa beans inside. The pods are opened to get the 20-50 beans inside each pod. Some people say that these seeds taste sour. They don't taste like chocolate until they've gone through the whole process. To unlock this lesson you must be a Member. Create your account The beans are put in a pile or box and stirred. Then they are laid out to dry in the sun or in a shed. After the beans are dry, they are put into big sacks, which go to factories. At the factories, the beans are stored in large buildings called silos. The beans are then cleaned and then roasted. Cocoa is the powder made from the roasted seeds. Silos are large cylinder buildings used for storage. To unlock this lesson you must be a Member. Create your account The cacao tree is a tree that grows pods, which are collected or harvested. After the harvest, the beans get dried and go to a factory. At the factory, the beans go through a process to make cocoa. Other ingredients are added to make different kinds of chocolate. The chocolate is wrapped and shipped to stores. To unlock this lesson you must be a Member. Create your account Register to view this lesson Are you a student or a teacher?

Here is a simple breakdown of the steps involved in the cocoa making process. Harvesting Chocolate begins with Theobroma Cacao tree. Pods from this tree are harvested for the making of chocolate only once fully ripened. Unripened pods yield beans with low cocoa butter content and low sugar content. The natural sugars in cocoa beans fuel the fermentation process, which is responsible for much of the classic cocoa flavor. Once harvested, the seeds are separated from the pods and pulp and allowed to begin the fermentation process. Fermenting Raw cocoa beans have a bitter and undesirable flavor. Fermentation transforms this bitterness making it into the more complex precursor to the classic cocoa flavor we are familiar with. Fermentation is achieved with natural yeast and bacteria that are present in the cocoa beans. The beans are simply left out in the heat and moisture to ferment for approximately seven days. After fermentation, the beans are quickly dried to prevent mold growth. Roasting After fermentation and drying, the beans are thoroughly cleaned and removed of any sticks, stones, or other debris. Cocoa beans are typically roasted using the dry roast method, which employs constant stirring to ensure even heating. Dry roasting does not require the addition of extra oils or fats, which allows the flavor to stay pure. This is the final step in creating the classic cocoa flavor that we are all familiar with. Processing After roasting, the hull is removed from the bean and the inner nib is extracted. The nibs are then ground into a fine powder, which contains cocoa solids and cocoa butter. The cocoa butter usually liquifies from the frictional heat while grinding the nibs. This liquefied form of pulverized cocoa nibs is referred to as cocoa liquor. Cocoa liquor is then poured into molds, allowed to cool, then sold and transported in these blocks. These blocks are known as unsweetened or bakers chocolate. Alternatively, cocoa liquor can be separated into two products, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter. Blending Cocoa liquor, baking chocolate, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter can be blended with various ingredients to create an endless number of cocoa products. To produce the chocolate candies which we are all familiar with, cocoa liquor is combined with extra cocoa butter for smoothness and mouthfeel, sugar, milk, and sometimes vanilla, emulsifiers, or stabilizers. The ratio of sugar and milk to cocoa creates varying degrees of milk or dark chocolate. The specific ratio in which ingredients are blended creates signature recipes, which specialty brands often guard closely. Although chocolate manufacturers have lobbied to allow the use of hydrogenated vegetable oils, milk substitutes, and artificial flavors to be used in the making of chocolate, the USDA still does not allow the term "chocolate" to be used for products containing these ingredients. Only products made with real cocoa liquor or a combination of cocoa solids and cocoa butter may be called "chocolate." Cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and cocoa liquor are also used to make many products besides chocolate candy. Cocoa is used in a variety of savory dishes, especially in Central and South America. Cocoa butter is a prized ingredient in many skin products because of its skin-softening qualities.
