Cocoa processing

A study of wine fermentation from mucilage of cocoa beans (theobroma cacao l.). Cocoa mucilage, a by-product of cocoa beans processing, constitutes 10% of total cocoa beans, with soluble solids up to 17.78 Bx, pH of 3.43 – 3.5, rich in sugar, minerals, organic acids and phenolic compounds.

The Government of Vietnam is focusing on cocoa quality and Vietnam has set a goal to have 10,000 hectares of cocoa plantation in 2010. This is mainly aimed at the Central Highlands and Mekong River Delta. These are priority areas for the CARD project. Crucialthat Vietnam produces high-quality cocoa fermentation that can improve income for farmers in Vietnam. The best way to ensure the properties are of good quality staff training relevant Vietnamese institutions assess the quality of cocoa fermentation and drying method.

One of the problems with the fermentation process is conducted in the Central Highlands of Vietnam is a low ambient temperatures may be encountered and this is believed to adversely affect the fermentation of cocoa. in a trying to overcome this, a "hot house" was built to conduct the fermentation process. the heat is similar to a solar dryer in that it had a wing with a black stone set in, but instead of a dry bed, had a compartment with the roof level for the position of the fermentation box. Sides and roof of the prevent the hinge allows lifting the roof and side...

It is generally understood that the length of the fermentation process has an effect on the quality attributes of cocoa. Properties affected include bark content, pH, titrable acidity (TA), test results and the properties cutting taste. it also been demonstrated that soaking seeds in water, after fermentation, resulting in higher dry cocoa percentage of brown seeds, bark less content and improved flavor characteristics, (Hollywood, NW 1997). This test is done to prove whether the effects of fermentation time and soak application Vietnam to cocoa....
