Effect of Reconditioning of Discrepant Cocoa on the Quality of Cocoa Beans

Food Science and Nutrition Technology, 2018
Reconditioning of cocoa beans which involves re-drying, sieving, sorting and re-bagging of cocoa beans is a very important process in the cocoa industry. The study was conducted to identify the fungi on and in cocoa beans before and after reconditioning.

International Cocoa Trading Arrangements Between Industrialised and Developing Countries 1951–1999: A Structural Gravity Analysis

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a state‐of‐the‐art structural gravity model, we investigate the impact of various (post‐)colonial cocoa trading arrangements on the cocoa trade between developing cocoa producer countries and rich industrial cocoa consumer nations in the time period 1951–1999. We find that in particular the trading arrangements of the European (Economic)

Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 7775-7783, October 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Protein Decoys, Alcohol, and Energy Intake: Testing a Mechanistic‐Ecological Model

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Ultra‐processed diets are associated with excessive energy intake, but studies examining the role of alcohol have produced conflicting results, despite the high energy density of ethanol. We constructed a mechanistic‐ecological model to explain this inconsistency and tested its predictions using population dietary data.
