Fermentation studies of stored cocoa beans

Acetic and lactic acid bacteria on fermented cocoa beans were maximally 2.0×106 and 1.9×106 c.f.u./g wet wt, respectively. Acetic and lactic acids were detected on the second and fourth days of fermentation and were maximally 140 and 45 mg/10 g beans, respectively. There was a positive correlation b...

description Acetic and lactic acid bacteria on fermented cocoa beans were maximally 2.0×106 and 1.9×106 c.f.u./g wet wt, respectively. Acetic and lactic acids were detected on the second and fourth days of fermentation and were maximally 140 and 45 mg/10 g beans, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the sizes of the relevant microbial populations and the amounts of acids produced during fermentation.
