COCOA
Cocoa beans are fermented, dried, roasted and cracked into nibs. These nibs are pressed under hydraulic pressure to remove 75% of its cocoa butter. This leaves behind chocolate liquor in a paste form which is then dried and ground into unsweetened cocoa powder.
Cocoa Liquor / mass is pure cocoa mass in a solid or semi solid form . This is produced from cocoa beans that have been fermented , dried , roasted and separated from their skins . The beans are ground into cocoa mass / paste and then melted to become liquor . This liquor is then either separated into cocoa solids and cocoa butter or cooled and moulded into blocks of raw chocolate.
Cocoa butter is a pale-yellow edible vegetable fat which is cold pressed out of cocoa beans . Cocoa butter has a cocoa flavour and aroma which melts at body temperature and gives chocolate its unique mouthfeel .
Couverture is a name given to a certain class of high quality chocolate which contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter than baking or eating chocolate. All chocolate bars contain mainly the same base ingredients such as cocoa powder , cocoa butter , sugar and milk powde . Whereas , a couverture contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter compared to other ingredients . This additional cocoa butter , combined with proper tempering, gives the chocolate more sheen , a firmer snap when broken and a creamy mellow flavour .
Compound is made up of cocoa powder , edible vegetable fat , sugar and milk powder . It is a low cost alternative to real chocolate since it uses vegetable fat instead of the expensive cocoa butter.

Dairy
Powdered milk , also called as milk powder is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness . One purpose of drying milk is to preserve it as milk powder because it has a far longer shelf life as compared to liquid milk and it does not need to be refrigerated due to its low moisture content . Another purpose is to reduce its bulk for the economy of transportation . The different types of milk powders are Fat Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) , Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) , Full Cream Milk Powder (FCMP) , Whey Powder , Buttermilk powder etc
Cheese is a dairy product that is derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of flavours , texture and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein . It comprises of proteins and fat from the milk . During production , the milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of rennet are added to cause the milk proteins to coagulate . The solids i.e. curd are separated from the liquid i.e. whey and pressed into final form . There are various types of cheese produced in several countries . Their styles , textures and flavours depend on the origin of milk , whether they have been pasteurized , the butterfat content , the bacteria and mold , the processing and how long they have been aged for.
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of milk. It is a semi solid emulsion at room temperature which consists of approximately 80% butter fat . It is used at room temperature as a spread , melted as a condiment and used as an ingredient in baking , sauce making , pan frying and other cooking procedures . It is made by churning milk to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk . Salt and food colourings are sometimes added to butter.
Casein is the chief protein in milk and the essential ingredient of cheese . In its pure form , it is an amorphous white solid which is tasteless and odourless , while its commercial type is slightly yellow with a pleasing odour. Cow’s milk contains about 3% casein . Casein is a complete protein which means it contains all of the amino acids required by our bodies to function . Commercial casein is made by one of the two methods which is precipitation by acid which produces acid casein or coagulation by rennet which produces rennet casein . The precipitated casein curd is separated from the whey , then washed and dried . The water-soluble derivatives of acid caseins which are produced by reaction with alkalis are called caseinates . Casein is used in prepared foods , medicines , dietary supplements and cosmetics . Industrial applications of casein include paper coatings , glues , paints , plastics and man-made fibres.

Chemicals
Also known as carmellose sodium or cellulose gum, is a modified form of cellulose that is widely used as a thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing agent. It is water-soluble and derived from cellulose with carboxymethyl groups attached to its sugar units. CMC is valued for water absorption, viscosity enhancement, and emulsion stability.
Also known as glyceryl triacetate, Triacetin is a triglyceride synthesized by the esterification of glycerol with acetic acid. It is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid that is water-soluble and used as a humectant, plasticizer, and solvent in various industries.
Often referred to as white glue or wood glue, is a widely used synthetic polymer that serves as a versatile adhesive and coating material. It is a thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyvinyl ester family. It is typically produced by polymerizing vinyl acetate. It is generally non-toxic, non-flammable and quick drying. It is also known for its flexibility and strong bonding ability. It has numerous applications across various industries due to its unique properties like water solubility, high strength and film forming capabilities.

Chemicals
Also known as carmellose sodium or cellulose gum, is a modified form of cellulose that is widely used as a thickening, emulsifying and stabilizing agent. It is a water soluble polymer derived from cellulose, a natural component of plant cell walls, with carboxymethyl groups attached to some of its sugar like units. CMC is known for its ability to absorb water, its viscosity enhancing properties and its ability to create stable emulsion.
Also known as glyceryl triacetate or triacetin, is a triglyceride synthesized from glycerol and acetic acid or acetic anhydride, meaning it is formed by the esterification of glycerol with three molecules of acetic acid. It is a colourless, viscous and odourless liquid which is soluble in water and miscible with alcohol and ether. It is synthesized for industrial use and is also naturally present in fats like cod liver oil and butter. It is used as a humectant, plasticizer and solvent.
