Identification of Variety and Prediction of Chemical Composition in Cocoa Beans (<i>Theobroma cacao</i> L.) by FT-MIR Spectroscopy and Chemometrics

Identification of Variety and Prediction of Chemical Composition in Cocoa Beans (<i>Theobroma cacao</i> L.) by FT-MIR Spectroscopy and Chemometrics

Cocoa is rich in polyphenols and alkaloids that act as antioxidants, anticarcinogens, and anti-inflammatories. Analytical methods commonly used to determine the proximal chemical composition of cocoa, total phenols, and antioxidant capacity are laborious, costly, and destructive. It is important to...
