| Summary: | The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of pods storage and fermentation duration
towards proanthocyanidins content in Malaysian cocoa beans. The pods storage duration was varied
from 0 to 6 days with two days interval, while the fermentation duration of cocoa beans was varied
from day 0 until day 5. The amount of proanthocyanidins extracted from the cocoa beans was
determined by using UV spectrophotometric and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
analyses. The results showed that the total proanthocyanidins contents in all samples from different
pods storage and fermentation duration are varied for both analyses. From the results, it shows that
fermentation duration has more significant effect to the proanthocyanidins content in Malaysian
cocoa beans as compared to the effect of pod storage duration. |
