Activated carbons made from cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and coconut (Cocos nucifera) shells can be used as adsorbents to improve the quality of frying oils

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Carbonised cocoa shells and carbonised coconut shells have a high level of porosity and a large adsorption surface area. Activated carbons made from cocoa and from the mixture cocoa–coconut shells at 15% demonstrated their ability to reduce primary and secondary oxidation products in frying oils and improves the organoleptic properties of fried foods ...

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 ...

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, EarlyView.
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.
