摘要

Process of obtaining cocoa (I), for manufacturing chocolate free from sugar and sweeteners, comprises: dispersing cocoa paste (20 wt.%) under agitation in a hydro alcoholic solution for 2 hours at ambient temperature; transferring the dispersion to a filter press or a centrifuge to obtain a cake free of polyphenols and a hydro alcoholic solution rich in cocoa polyphenols; and drying the cake under vacuum and adding water. Independent claims are also included for: (1) food or dietetic preparation containing chocolate free from sugar obtained by the process, comprising polyphenols (less than 1 (preferably 0.5) wt.%); and (2) cocoa polyphenols in the form of a stable powder.
