The quality demanded by consumers in the cocoa sector has led to carrying out postharvest transformation of cocoa, directing efforts highlight properties beans, such as content bioactive compounds, due its beneficial effects on health, well color, which varies from typical brown color recently developed red-pink hues. This work aims establish a correlation between parameters matrix obtained during seeds under controlled process conditions (temperature, organic acid, and concentration, time)...
The market for fine-flavor cocoa provides significant benefits to farmers. However, identifying the sensory qualities of chocolate under specific environmental conditions and measuring how its chemical compounds may be affected by climate differences postharvesting practices remain a challenge. This study investigates fermentation time agroclimatic in Colombia’s fine cocoa-producing region Arauca influence profile volatile compound composition (volatilome) derived from beans. Sensory...
Although Colombia has the potential to be a cocoa producer for fine flavor and high value markets, it is not greatly recognized as such. In spite of government’s interest position country major specialty producer, no strategic actions have been taken develop strengthen this aspect chain. This study structured technology roadmap sector that identifies research development investment opportunities by examining current challenges weaknesses in key dimensions (e.g., postharvest technology,...
Regulation of maximum levels cadmium in chocolate is an issue for cacao exportation from many parts Latin America, including Colombia. These limits are related to the final product, but buyers often request Cd beans. However, date, there neither a clear understanding relationship between specified and cocoa derivatives harvested beans or soil nor effect post-harvest processes on product. To address this, fate concentration bar was followed single farm Santander district, The soils measured...
Food science innovation depends on consumers' needs and is currently seeking functional food with health effects. Non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) known for its potential effects, but there a lack of holistic analysis technological advancement socio-economic market trends decision-making in the development technology. The aim this article was to analyse research trends, recent patents, niches NCS structure an roadmap. Scientometric, bibliometric methods, global local information were used....
Non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) is a concentrated product obtained from the evaporation of sugarcane juice in production modules (PM). The design PM has been done empirically without taking into account heat transfer study. Consequently, there are thermal efficiency problems that affect quality and economic-environmental sustainability process. Therefore, it necessary to generate calculation tools build thermally efficient PM. aim this work was develop tool for non-centrifugal module A...
Cocoa flavour is achieved during the physicochemical transformation of seeds through postharvest operations. To ensure adequate conditions for reactions involved with formation precursors, it highly favourable to control operational variables. This study evaluates effect organic acids (acetic, lactic, and citric acids) process (organic acid concentration, temperature, stirring rate, solid–liquid ratio) on mass transfer phenomena reducing sugars. Fick's second law modelled into seed. The...
The growth rate of four strains Pseudomonas putida, KT2440, KT2442, KTH2, and KTH2 (pESOX3), under different fluid dynamic conditions has been studied. cultures were conducted in a stirred tank bioreactor by changing the stirrer speed. Several process variables, such as biomass concentration, dissolved oxygen mass transfer uptake rate, have measured or calculated. Also cell viability was determined viable colony counting Petri dishes culture samples subjected into transmission electron...
Cacao ( Theobroma cacao L) is one of the most relevant crops in terms economy and social rural development Colombia. also an important crop due to its potential replace illicit it related less deforestation preserves biodiversity. There are several districts Colombia, these being Arauca. The Department Arauca second largest cocoa producing region Colombia; however, heavily affected by armed conflict. To raise knowledge technology available region, integrating data on occurrence farms with...
Mangosteen peel is a source of natural phenolic antioxidants. During processing, the quality and quantity these compounds in final product are altered. Sometimes, important causal relationships not easy to establish thus process management difficult. This especially true when biochemical changes can occur as case drying extraction bioactive materials. The aim this work was formulate solve an optimization problem order obtain appropriate values operating conditions that maximize antioxidant...
