Effect of traditional and oven roasting on the physicochemical properties of fermented cocoa beans

چکیده
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of oven and traditional roasting on the polyphenol content, antioxidant activity, lipid quality, proximate composition and mineral content of fermented cocoa beans. Results showed that traditional roasting significantly decrease (p < 0.05) the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of cocoa beans. The analysis of oil showed that oven and traditional roasting significantly increase (p < 0.05) the peroxide and thiobarbituric acid values of cocoa butter and that traditional roasting samples were the most deteriorated. Oven and traditional roasting for 10 min reduce the iodine value of the oil, but increase its acidity. The proximate and mineral composition of cocoa beans was also seriously affected during cooking. Drying and oven roasting for 5 and 10 min; and drying and traditional roasting for 5 min appear to be the best processing methods of cocoa beans for production of cocoa based foods like chocolate.

Comparison of antioxidant activity and flavanol content of cacao beans processed by modern and traditional Mesoamerican methods
The use of cacao, in its familiar food and beverage form, dates back about 3,800 years. By the time of the discovery of America by Europeans, the Aztecs and Mayans had developed methods for drying, roasting and grinding cacao beans for use in beverages and foods. Today, the same processes are used, but have been adapted to modern machinery. The current study was conducted to compare the traditi...
متن کاملEffects of convective and microwave roasting on the physicochemical properties of cocoa beans and cocoa butter extracted from this material
Cocoa beans are the basic raw material for the production of chocolate and other chocolate products. To obtain these products, the seeds must be subjected to a complicated technological process in which one of the key steps is roasting. A widely used method of roasting cocoa beans is convection roasting which is based on subjecting the raw beans to a flow of hot air in the temperature range bet...

Roasting is one of the basic unit operations in the cocoa base industries.Cocoa beans were roasted using superheated steam oven in superheated steam mode at 150, 200 and 250C for 50 min. The effect of heating time and temperatures with roasting methods on the moisture content, color and texture of the cocoa beans were studied. The changes occurred in the moisture content, colorvalues (L-, a-, b...
متن کاملChanges in key aroma compounds of Criollo cocoa beans during roasting.
Application of a comparative aroma extraction dilution analysis on unroasted and roasted Criollo cocoa beans revealed 42 aroma compounds in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 1-4096 for the unroasted and 4-8192 for the roasted cocoa beans. While the same compounds were present in the unroasted and roasted cocoa beans, respectively, these clearly differed in their intensity. For example, 2...

Cocoa seeds were roasted at 120oC for 10 and 20 minutes were ground to a fine paste to obtain cocoa liquor. Cocoa fudge samples were prepared using the prepared liquor cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin. The two samples were analyzed for their physicochemical and sensory properties. The results of the study reveal that the roasting duration has a significant influence on both the properties. An i...
