The powdered cocoa bean (20.01 ± 0.03 g) was weighed with a Sartorius analytical balance and transferred into an extraction thimble. The thimble was inserted into an extraction beaker and filled with 200 mL petroleum ether with constant swirling.
What is a cocoa pod breaking and extraction machine?
Fig. 10: The Cocoa Pod Breaking and Extraction Machine. This designed machine severs the poles and ruptures the pods, thus facilitating extraction of the beans on the hulls. 5. Conclusion mentally friendly. This will improve production, qu ality of Cocoa products to a higher level, exempt from all risk s and danger. The time
What are the methods of cocoa bean extraction?
Several methods for cocoa bean extraction have been reported in the literature ( Asep et al., 2016, Amarante et al., 2014, Okiyama et al., 2019a, Jahurul et al., 2013, Saldaa et al., 2002 ); including supercritical fluid extraction, solvent-free microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction, and others.
Why does the extraction rate of cocoa bean oil slow down?
The extraction rate slows downwhen the ΔH values are high ( Sayyar et al., 2009 ). A relatively lower yield (i.e., 21.62%) of cocoa bean oil was extracted at the highest extraction temperature and duration (i.e., at 333K, 130min) to check a slower rate extraction.
