Chocolate is a type of food present in the routine of a large part of the population in the country. The delicacy brings together a series of health benefits, such as stress reduction, pain relief, and a feeling of well-being.

To bring a healthier combination of this delicious sweet to the consumer, chocolate manufacturers have produced new flavors combining cocoa with different flavors of dry extracts and 100% natural fruit powders.

By adding these ingredients to production processes, companies can offer their audiences unique options that not only value the vitamins in the raw material of chocolate, but also integrate fruits that can bring more benefits to the consumer’s health.

How to insert dry extracts and fruit powders in the manufacture of chocolate?

According to a study by the National Institute of Agronomy in France, chocolate itself is rich in vitamins, phospholipids, antioxidants, and proteins. And industries that start to manufacture healthier versions tend to win the hearts of consumers who love the delicacy and want to keep it in their routine.

In addition to 100% natural inputs, another option for creating healthier chocolate is organic cocoa, a fruit without pesticides that goes through several processes that only maintain its natural composition.

Through this treatment, cocoa remains with a lower rate of acidity in its final composition, allowing the final chocolate flavor to contain a sweetness and the essence of fruits by adding fruit powders and dry extracts.

By implementing this method of developing healthier chocolate, companies can count on a range of regional raw materials, with typical fruits that make up the consumer’s routine.

Enabling large-scale production of chocolate with this composition, dry extracts and fruit powders become a great option to ensure that the food contains the fruit’s essence in a simpler way.

Both dry extracts and fruit powders preserve the nutrients of each fruit, ensuring that the development of chocolate does not include artificial ingredients.

Frootiva Co® develops both types of inputs for industries to apply in their food and beverage productions.

By including fruit powder in the manufacture of chocolate, companies rely on the characteristic flavors of each region of the country. Orange, passion fruit, acerola, acai, strawberry, raspberry, and guava are among the available flavors.

In addition to maintaining the flavor, the inputs developed by Frootiva do not contain cholesterol, trans fat, gluten, or lactose.
