This expansion will allow Bühler to offer complete cocoa processing trials to its clients in Southeast Asia.

Bühler has invested in its recently opened cocoa application facility in Jakarta, Indonesia, adding a new cocoa application laboratory to the facility.

This expansion will allow Bühler to offer complete cocoa processing trials to its clients in Southeast Asia, ranging from cocoa beans trials all the way to end product trials.

Two service engineers and a consumer food technologist will be present at the facility, and according to Bühler, the facility will serve as the regional hub for the complete chocolate process chain from bean to bar.

The processing line present at the facility allows clients to test cocoa processes such as alkalizing, roasting, grinding and pressing of cocoa liqueur, and the new laboratory will allow clients to improve their recipes and ingredients.
