The roasting process can modulate sensory and physicochemical characteristics of cocoa. This study compared the chemical characteristics of cocoa nibs roasted by a convective oven [slow roasting─(SR)] vs cocoa nibs roasted in a fluidized bed roaster [fast roasting─(FR)] at two temperatures (120 and 140 °C). The contents of sugars, free amino acids (FAAs), polyphenols, acrylamide, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and melanoidins were monitored. Roasting reduced fructose, glucose, and sucrose contents by ...[more]
