Description
Real chocolate contains cocoa butter and cocoa liquor extracted from cocoa or cacao beans. Cocoa butter is an expensive ingredient, so it requires an additional procedure known as ‘tempering,’ to prevent blooming or discoloration of chocolate. On the other hand, compound chocolate contains cocoa butter replacer in higher percentage along with other chocolate ingredients. In the preparation of compound chocolates, the cocoa powder is used as a substitute for cocoa liquor. Cocoa butter replacers (fat) are manufactured from vegetable oils, as vegetable oils are already processed fat molecules which are uniform in nature and hence does not require tempering.
Globally, real chocolate is processed and packaged primarily for direct consumers and artisans. Whereas compound chocolate is mainly processed and packaged for industrial use, bakeries, confectioneries, and others. Strategic new product developments followed by creative packaging are driving the growth of real chocolates globally. Moreover, there have been improvements in technology starting from the harvesting of cocoa/cacao bean to chocolate bar processing which is adding fuel to the growth of the market. Additionally, high focus on marketing the products by key players has a great opportunity for the real and compound chocolate market in the future.
For compound chocolate, it is growing rapidly owing to the lower cost alternative. Ingredients such as coconut oil, palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and cottonseed oil are regarded less expensive compared to cocoa butter. Moreover, substances such as vegetable oil are commonly used in place of cocoa butter for compound chocolate production. As a result, a lot of time and cost is saved by chocolate manufacturers in processing compound chocolates which is one of the factors driving the growth of the market. Additionally, Omega-3 fatty acids enriched chocolate spreads using soybean and coconut oils, have shown a potential for the growth of compound chocolates as the consumers tend to eat healthy food.
