A Combined Metagenomics and Metatranscriptomics Approach to Unravel Costa Rican Cocoa Box Fermentation Processes Reveals Yet Unreported Microbial Species and Functionalities
Verce, Marko; Schoonejans, Jorn; Hernandez Aguirre, Carlos; Luc De Vuyst; Weckx, Stefan (Frontiers Media, 2021-02-16)Cocoa fermentation is the first step in the post-harvest processing chain of cocoa and is important for the removal of the cocoa pulp surrounding the beans and the development of flavor and color precursors. In the present ... -
Curing of Cocoa Beans: Fine-Scale Monitoring of the Starter Cultures Applied and Metabolomics of the Fermentation and Drying Steps
Díaz-Muñoz, Cristian; Van de Voorde, Dario; Comasio, Andrea; Verce, Marko; Hernandez , Carlos Eduardo ; Weckx, Stefan; De Vuyst, Luc (Frontiers Media, 2021-01-11)Starter culture-initiated cocoa fermentation processes can be applied to improve the quality of cured cocoa beans. However, an accurate monitoring of the microbial strains inoculated in fresh cocoa pulp-bean mass to assess ...
