DETERMINATION OF CALCIUM (Ca) AND MAGNESIUM (Mg) CONTENT IN CACAO (Theobroma cacao Linn) FERMENTATION AND NON FERMENTATION BY SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

open access: yesJurnal Riset Kimia, 2015
Cacao beans contain many kinds of mineral, magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn), Phosphor (P) and etc. This study investigated magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) in fermentation and non fermentation cacao beans by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

Integrative chromosome‐scale genome analysis of cupuassu provides insights into witches' broom disease resistance and expands genomic resources for Theobroma

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...

Leaf Litter Decomposition in the Tropics Dynamically Recovers Following Experimental Disturbance Across Temporal Scales

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Litter decomposition by arthropods and microbes is a key ecosystem process in tropical forests, yet its response to disturbance and forest regeneration remains poorly understood. To investigate decomposition dynamics across forest succession, we conducted a space‐for‐time study in the Ecuadorian lowland Chocó spanning active cacao plantations and ...

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Chemical composition and fatty acids profile of chocolates produced with different cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) cultivars

open access: yesFood Science and Technology, 2020
The amount of cocoa butter and the fatty acid profiles in chocolate depend on the growth conditions of the cocoa beans. On cocoa butter, fatty acids are found as triacylglycerols, most of which are palmitic and stearic acids (Segall et al., 2005 ...

The Rhus chinensis Genome Provides Insights Into Tannin, Flavonoid Biosynthesis, and Glandular Trichome Development

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 988-1013, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The “salt tree”, Rhus chinensis, holds significant economic and medicinal value due to its ability to produce Galla chinensis (Chinese gall/gallnut), a plant‐derived medicinal material used in both traditional Chinese and modern medicine that is rich in tannins and flavonoids. It is also renowned for its remarkable stress tolerance.
