Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.This study compared cocoa liquors from Ecuador, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire and evaluated their effects on the color, textural, and rheological properties of milk and dark chocolates. The results showed that cocoa origin influenced cocoa liquor characteristics and contributed to differences in chocolate quality.

Incompatibility in Theobroma cacao [PDF]
Nature, 1958 Knight and Rogers1 postulated the existence of five incompatibility alleles, at a single locus, in the three self-incompatible but cross-compatible cacao genotypes studied by them. The five alleles differed in dominance, but two were equal; the same dominance sequence, S1 > = S2 > S3 > S4 > S5 was exhibited in both male and female parts of the flower ...

Land‐Use Shapes Soil Fungal Communities and Functional Guilds in Tropical Forest Ecosystems
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.Land‐use change is a major cause of biodiversity loss and soil degradation in tropical regions. The role of soil fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), though critical, is often overlooked. AMF communities across cropland, disturbed forest, and undisturbed forest vegetation in southwestern Nigeria were relatively resilient to land‐use ...

Mitigating Black Pod Disease in Cocoa Plants: An Optimal Control and Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis
Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Black pod disease (BPD), caused by Phytophthora species, continues to pose a significant threat to cocoa production, particularly in tropical regions where cocoa farming is a major economic activity. This study develops a deterministic compartmental model to understand the transmission dynamics of BPD and evaluate the impact of multiple ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We assessed whether galagos occur in cocoa agroforestry systems in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, using passive acoustic monitoring and a YOLOv5‐based convolutional neural network trained on galago vocalisations from sub‐Saharan Africa. We confirmed the presence of at least one species of western dwarf galago (Galagoides sp.) in four cocoa agroforests ...
