Analysis of Cocoa Beans for Aflatoxins
Abstract The CB method for the analysis of peanut products for aflatoxins was modified to overcome the prohlem of an insoluble final residue when applied to cocoa: a 25% silver nitrate solution is used as the aqueous phase in the extraction procedure and the chloroform extract is reshaken with this reagent before column chromatography on

Rural Capitalists and Development in Colonial Africa: A Comparative Analysis
ABSTRACT This paper explores the emergence and role of rural capitalists in colonial Sub‐Saharan Africa by comparing three peasant‐based economies: Bechuanaland, the Gold Coast and Tanganyika. Using social tables, we estimate the population and income shares of better earning agricultural producers and assess their impact on rural inequality and ...

Impact of cocoa processing technologies in free fatty acids formation in stored raw cocoa beans [PDF]
The quality of raw cocoa beans depends widely on their free fatty acids (FFA) content. High FFA content is a serious quality defect and reduces the technical and economic value of the cocoa beans.
