Product description


Cocoa CO₂-se extract is an aromatic extract extracted from cocoa butter(Theobroma cacao) by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This process is carried out in two steps - first the cocoa beans are pressed and completely defatted, then the cocoa butter is gently extracted of its flavours using counter-current CO₂ extraction. This is a CO₂-se (selective extract) - a selective extract containing mainly volatile flavouring substances that give the products their characteristic chocolate aroma. It is white to light brown in colour, solid at room temperature and turns into a liquid oil with a distinctive sweet cocoa aroma at 40 °C.

Extraction type: Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (CO₂)
Designation: CO₂-selective extract (selective extract with volatile aromatics)
D/E ratio: 19-21 kg cocoa butter per 1 kg extract
Ingredients: 100 % CO₂-se cocoa butter extract

FAQ

What is the difference between CO₂-se and CO₂-to cocoa extract?

CO₂-se is a selective extract that contains mainly volatile aromatic compounds (e.g. pyrazines, esters, aldehydes). A CO₂-to extract, on the other hand, would also contain fats, waxes and resins. Therefore, CO₂-to extract has a purer fragrance and is ideal for perfuming and aromatic cosmetic products.

Does cocoa CO₂ extract also have a colouring effect?

No, this extract does not contain colour pigments from cocoa beans. The product is white to light brown and will not colour the final product.

Is cocoa CO₂ extract also suitable for lip balms?

Yes, it is very popular in lip balms and lip butters due to its unique aromatic profile. It gives them a subtle, sweet chocolate scent without the use of synthetic perfumes.

What does "CO₂-se" mean?

CO₂-se stands for selective extract - a selective CO₂ extract that is obtained under milder conditions of pressure and temperature, thus extracting only the volatile substances. The result is an extract similar to an essential oil, but with higher purity and stability.
