The Manufacture of Chocolate and other Cacao Preparations

=Nuco-cocoa= is a mixture of cacao with “nuco”, which is a highly
praised preparation of albumin. The analysis of nuco cacao gave ash
4·06 percent, moisture 6 percent, fat 15·23 percent, albumin 47
percent, the iodine value of the fat is = 86. The fragments of tissue
under the microscope appear completely analogous to that of earth nut
(arachis hypogaea). Nuco-cacao is consequently nothing more than a
mixture of defatted cacao with defatted earth nut (earth nut cake).
=Oat-cocoa, Hallenser (half and half)= contains 6·5 percent moisture,
4·1 percent mineral constituents, 89·4 percent organic substances
(containing 4·3 percent nitrogenous matter) digestible albumin 14·7
percent, fat 17·2 percent, theobromine 0·77 percent, starch and
other non-nitrogenous extractives 48·93 percent, cellulose 3·5
percent. This is evidently a mixture of equal parts of oat meal and cacao
powder as the name implies.
=Oat-cacao Kasseler= (Hansen & Co.) is prepared according to the German
patent No. 93500, 28th June 1896, by mixing oat meal with cacao. This
mixture is moulded, pressed and, after being wrapped in perforated tin
foil, defatted by ether. It contains 7·2 percent moisture, 3·5
percent mineral substances, 89·3 percent organic substances, which are
composed of nitrogenous substance 3·9 percent digestible albumin 18·8
percent, fat 18·3 percent, theobromine 0·46 percent, starch and
other non-nitrogenous extractives 44·94 percent, cellulose 2·9
percent.[249] It is likewise a mixture of 50 percent of oat meat with 50
percent of cacao.
=Oat-cocoa= can be simply prepared by mixing cacao powder with an
equal part of prepared oat meal, such as is produced by Hohenlohe’s
Präservefabrik, by Knorr of Heilbronn and by the Quaker Oats Company.
In order to cover the taste of the oat meal 1-2 percent of sodium
chloride is to be added.
=J. Berlit=, German patent No. 72449, describes the following method
for the preparation of =oat-cacao=, Oats are cleaned, bruised, slightly
roasted and ground. The powder is wetted and by means of a kneading
machine worked up to a paste which is dried in a vacuum, finally ground
and mixed with defatted cacao in the required proportions.
=Palamoud des Turcs= consists of cacao mass, rice-meal, starch and
sandal wood.
=Peptone-cocoa= contains: water 4·08 percent, nitrogenous
substance 20·56 percent, albumose 8·25 percent, peptone 4·41
percent, theobromine 1·03 percent, sugar 49·51 percent, besides
non-nitrogenous constituents 9·37 percent, woody fibre 1·43 percent,
mineral substance 4·17 percent (potash 1·97 percent, phosphoric acid
1·21 percent).
=Peptone-powder-cocoa= (20 percent) is prepared by mixing 20 parts of
Koch’s meat peptone in the form of extract with 50 parts of sugar and
40 parts cacao powder.
=Peptone-chocolate= contains 10 percent of dry peptone.
=Plasmon-chocolate and cocoa= contains 20 percent plasmon[250]
(Siebold).
=Racahout des Arabes= see page 00, note.
