    k CHAPTER 1 History, origin and taxonomy of cocoa 1.1 Introduction Chocolate is derived from the cocoa bean, which is obtained from the fruit of the cocoa tree, Theobroma cacao (Linnaeus). The term ‘Cocoa’ is a corruption of the word ‘Cacao’ that is taken directly from Mayan and Aztec languages. It is indigenous to Central and South America and believed to have originated from the Amazon and Orinoco valleys. Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of the most important agricultural export commodities in the world and forms the back- bone of the economies of some countries in West Africa, South America and South-East Asia. It is the leading foreign exchange earner and a great source of income for many families in most of the world’s developing countries. In Ghana, cocoa is the second highest foreign exchange earner and an estimated 1 million farmers and their families depend on it for their livelihood (Afoakwa, 2014). Currently, in 2016, cocoa is cultivated on an estimated land size of 8 million k k hectares in the tropics and secures the livelihoods of about 50 million people globally. More than 8 million of them are mainly smallholder farmers with an average farm size of just 3–4 hectares and an average family size of eight. Of these, some 1.5 million are within West Africa, the most important cocoa-growing region. Such families frequently live exclusively on cocoa farming and processing and are thus dependent mainly on cocoa for their livelihoods. Hence the eco- nomic importance of cocoa cannot be over-emphasized and the current global market value of annual cocoa crop is over $8.1 billion (World Cocoa Foundation, 2014).

KG, Stockelsdorf, Germany 2Institute of Plant Science and Microbiology, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany Histological and cytological comparison of seed structures of Theobroma cacao, Theobroma grandiforum and Theobroma bicolor relevant to post-harvest processing and product quality Silke Elwers1*, Reinhard Lieberei2 (Submitted: July 9, 2020; Accepted: September 27, 2020) Summary For the present study, anatomical details of seeds of Theobroma cacao L., Theobroma grandiforum (Willd. ex Spreng.) Schum. and Theobroma bicolor Humb. & Bonpl. were investigated using light and transmission electron microscopy (LM and TEM). The focus was on features with possible signifcance for the course of fermentation and drying to generate cocoa-like aroma. It was found that the seed coat of T. cacao has the smallest diameter and contains only a thin sclereid layer, whereas T. grandiforum and especially T. bicolor exhibit much more massive palisade layers. The thicker seed coats of T. grandiforum and T. bicolor could delay the passage of liquids during fermentation and seed deshelling may require more effort than with T. cacao. In addition, existing differences in the amount of plant mucilages and phenolic substances in the testa may affect the composition and activity of the microfora during fermentation. Differences were also evident in the cotyledon tissue, which is processed to obtain cocoa-like products. Besides a higher degree Fig. 1: Opened fruits of T. bicolor (left), T. grandiforum (middle) and of maceration of the parenchyma of T. grandiforum and T.

  • Investigating the Proteomic Profile of Cocoa Beans for Understanding The
    University of Reading Investigating the proteomic profile of cocoa beans for understanding the development of cocoa flavour This dissertation is submitted to the School of Chemistry, Food and Pharmacy, University of Reading for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Emanuele Scollo November 2019 I. Abstract Cocoa seed storage proteins play an important role in flavour development as aroma precursors are formed from their degradation during fermentation. Major proteins in the beans of Theobroma cacao are the storage proteins belonging to the vicilin and albumin classes. Although both these classes of proteins have been extensively characterised, there is still limited information on the expression and abundance of other proteins present in cocoa beans. This work is the first attempt to characterize the whole cocoa bean proteome by nano-LC-ESI MS/MS analysis using tryptic digests of cocoa bean protein extracts. The results of this analysis showed that over 1000 proteins could be identified using a species-specific Theobroma cacao database. The majority of the identified proteins were involved with metabolism and energy. Albumin and vicilin storage proteins showed the highest intensity values among all detected proteins. A comparison of MS/MS data searches carried out against larger non-specific databases confirmed that using a species-specific database can increase the number of identified proteins, and at the same time reduce the number of false positives. The proteomic profiles of cocoa beans from four genotypes with different genetic background and flavour profiles have also been analysed employing a bottom-up label-free UHPLC-MS/MS approach. From a total of 430 identified proteins, 61 proteins were found significantly differentially abundant among the four cocoa genotypes analysed with a fold change of 2 or more.

  • Cacao and Its Allies
    CACAO AND ITS ALLIES A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS THEOBROMA Jose Cuatrecasas Introduction "Celebrem etiam per universam Americam multique usua fructum Cacao appellatum." Clusius, 1605. "Cacao nomen barbarum, quo rejecto Theobroma dicta est arbor, cum fructus basin sternat potioni delicatissimae, Baluberrimae, maxime nutrienti, chocolate mexicanis, Euro- paeis quondam folis Magnatis propriae (ffpotfta rwf 8&av, Vos Deos feci dixit Deus de imperantibus), licet num vilior fact a." Linnaeus, Hort. Cliff. 379. 1737. Theobroma, a genus of the family Sterculiaceae, is particularly noteworthy because one of its members is the popular "cacao tree" or "cocoa tree." The uses and cultivation of this outstanding tropical plant were developed in the western hemisphere by the Mayas in Central America a long time before Europeans arrived on the con- tinent. The now universally used name cacao is derived directly from the Nahuatl "cacahuatl" or "cacahoatl," just as the name of the popular drink, chocolate, is derived from "xocoafcl" or "chocoatl." The economic importance of cacao has given rise to great activity in several fields of development and research, especially in agronomy. Historians and anthropologists have also been very much interested in learning the role played by cacao in the economy and social relations of the early American populations. There exists today an extensive literature devoted to the many problems related to cacao. I saw cacao for the first time in Colombia in 1932, but became actually interested in the genus in 1939 and the years following, when I found cacao trees growing wild in the rain forests of the Amazonian basin. I was fascinated by the unique structure of the flowers of the cocoa tree, and its extraordinary fruit.

  • Popol-Vuh-The-Mayan-Book-Of
    www.TaleBooks.com INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION (See illustration: Map of the Mayan region.) THE FIRST FOUR HUMANS, the first four earthly beings who were truly articulate when they moved their feet and hands, their faces and mouths, and who could speak the very language of the gods, could also see everything under the sky and on the earth. All they had to do was look around from the spot where they were, all the way to the limits of space and the limits of time. But then the gods, who had not intended to make and model beings with the potential of becoming their own equals, limited human sight to what was obvious and nearby. Nevertheless, the lords who once ruled a kingdom from a place called Quiche, in the highlands of Guatemala, once had in their possession the means for overcoming this nearsightedness, an ilbal, a "seeing instrument" or a "place to see"; with this they could know distant or future events. The instrument was not a telescope, not a crystal for gazing, but a book. The lords of Quiche consulted their book when they sat in council, and their name for it was Popol Vuh or "Council Book." Because this book contained an account of how the forefathers of their own lordly lineages had exiled themselves from a faraway city called Tulan, they sometimes described it as "the writings about Tulan." Because a later generation of lords had obtained the book by going on a pilgrimage that took them across water on a causeway, they titled it "The Light That Came from Across the Sea." And because the book told of events that happened before

Cocinar y alimentarse, además de preparar y degustar los alimentos, introduce funciones especializadas, así como placeres y responsabilidades compartidas, crea vínculos sociales que van más allá del simple hecho de compartir una comida. También es primordial dentro de la individualidad del ser humano, ya que el alimento varía según el estado de ánimo; no es lo mismo cuando se come triste, enojado, feliz o frustrado; dentro de la religión, el acto de alimentarse desempeña un papel preponderante en los diversos momentos sacramentales de las sociedades, incluso algunos productos son sagrados o profanos por su simbolismo. Explicaré el caso de nuestro ancestral cacao en México, ya que tuvo diversos usos dentro de la alimentación tanto para el cuerpo físico como para el estado anímico.
