Organoleptic quality assessment of Theobroma cacao L. in cocoa farms in northern Huila, Colombia

Abstract: Cocoa is a food product with sensory and organoleptic attributes that depends on postharvest processes such as fermentation. This process affects not only the sensory profile, but also chemical reactions and therefore, the quality of the product. Hence, the aim of this study is to carry out a chemical and sensory characterization of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) samples from different cocoa farms in the department of Huila, Colombia. Moreover, a bromatological analysis was performed, secondary metabolites (caffei… Show more

“…It is said that the specific aroma of cocoa arises from complex biochemical and chemical reactions during post-harvest processing of the raw beans and from many influences of the cocoa genotype ( Aprotosoaie et al, 2016 ). Similarly, special volatile compounds (linalool and linalool oxide) can affect sensory attributes, especially floral ( Machado-Cuellar et al, 2018 ). Criollo and Trinidadian cocoa are known as the fine-flavor cocoa in the world market and constitute approximately 5% of the cocoa production in the world ( Quintero-R and Díaz-Morales, 2004 ).…”

“…Consequently, many manufactures are interested in reproducibility of the flavor of their chocolate production, and making it not only recognizable by logo etiquette but also by unique taste. From a scientific point of view, flavor profile is one of the characteristic descriptions of the cocoa species in general [2,4,[22][23][24][25][26]. For this reason, a great variety of analytical methods to analyze the organic compounds responsible for the flavor and aroma have been developed [3,6,27].…”

“…García & Muñoz (2017), Machado et al (2018) y Barrientos et al (2019) afirman que la calidad sensorial del cacao es esencial para el consumo; los procesos postcosecha que se realizan en las almendras y posiblemente la presencia de polifenoles en su composición, determinan el perfil sensorial en el cacao con aroma y sabores amargo, ácido, astringente y a nueces.…”

Por otra parte, respecto a los atributos que seVallejo et al (2018) mencionan que el mayor amargor en las almendras es debido a una fermentación deficiente, mientras que la acidez sería señal de la presencia de ácidos (volátiles y no volátiles) y en varias almendras de árboles elites (Figura 3) donde se ha presentado sabores a cacao, afrutado, floral, amargor y astringencia moderados.…”
