Abstract:Cocoa fermentation generates significant residues, offering a valuable opportunity for sustainable utilization. In this study, these residues were evaluated as a support medium for freeze-drying <i>Candida tropicalis</i>, a yeast strain known to enhance the cocoa fermentation process. By integrating <i>Candida tropicalis</i> into fermentation, the degradation of cocoa pulp can be accelerated, improving aeration and reducing cotyledon acidity—factors that … Show more
