Theobroma Cacao L

One of the productions of the agricultural industry that has a fairly high foreign exchange value for our country is cocoa, but our cocoa production is still of low quality. To get good quality cocoa, good processing must be done. Fermentation of cocoa beans is one way to improve the quality of cocoa so that it can be sold in national and international markets. The purpose of this activity is to help cocoa farmers, especially in Southeast Aceh district, in improving the quality of cocoa production, so that the cocoa products of Southeast Aceh farmers can compete in trade both locally and abroad. The implementation of this activity is carried out through training to improve the quality of cocoa. There are several activities, namely: Sorting Cocoa, peeling cocoa pods, fermenting cocoa pods for 5 days and the last step is drying until the moisture content of cocoa pods reaches 7%. The result of this activity is to increase the knowledge of cocoa farmers in Southeast Aceh Regency in order to improve the quality of cocoa beans, so that cocoa sales can be accepted and compete in the market.

Cocoa bean is a rich source of polyphenols, which are the largest group secondary metabolite with natural antioxidant property. Polyphenols from cocoabeans was reported to possess health benefits. Fermentation, one step in cocoa processing is needed to improve the quality of cocoa in which the concentration of cocoa bean polyphenols might decrease significantly through oxidation and exudation. Cocoa polyphenols content among different cocoa clones mightalso vary. The aims of this study were to determine total polyphenols, total flavanoid, epicatechin, and catechin content in several cocoa clones, those wereSulawesi 1, Sulawesi 2, ICCRI 03, and KW 617. Until now, characterization of polyphenols from those clones has not been reported. The effect of five daysfermentation to those parameters was also studied. The results of the study showed that fermentation and type of clones significantly affected total of polyphenols, total of flavanoids, epicatechin, and catechin content of the cocoa, there is also an interaction between fermentation and type of clones. Unfermented of Sulawesi 1 had the highest total polyphenols of 96.94±5.83 mg/g, total flavanoids of 90.92±1.89 mg/g, epicatechin of 52.50±0.46 mg/g, and catechin of 1.99±0.02 mg/g content compared to other clones. Among five days fermented cocoa beans, Sulawesi 2 showed the highest total polyphenols and total flavanoids content, while ICCRI 03 had the highest epicatechin and catechin content than other clones. Thus, in can be concluded that although fermentation is required to improve the flavor quality of cocoa, it significantly reduced the content of bioactive compounds. This effect varied amongdifferent cocoa clones.

Study of Assorted Fermentation Methods Conducted by Local Farmers on the Quality of VCocoa Beans (Theobroma Cacao L.). Various fermentation methods have been done by local farmers, however there has been no report on the quality of cocoa beans from those methods. This study aims were to identify various ways of cocoa beans fermentation conducted by local farmers; to compare between quality of fermented beans produced by local farmers and suggested quality of fermented beans; and o obtain a simple fermentation method which resulted in good quality beans and suitable practice for local farmers. The research wasconducted in Tabanan Regency, Province of Bali through field survey with observation and interview method, and supported with literature study. According to field observation and analysis of fermented cocoa beans taken from the local farmers, it can be concluded that most of local farmers did not fermented their kakao seeds. Thus, the fermentation done by utilizing a plastic sack, a bamboo basket or a wooden box lined and covered with banana leaves. The research also found that implementing similar fermentation methods to the seed did not always resulting similar quality of cocoa beans. Finally, the simplest method for local farmers to ferment the cocoa seed was the fermentation by utilizing basket lined and covered with banana leaves with at least 90kg wet beans.

Kolaka is known as "Kolaka Cocoa City". Cocoa is the main commodity of Kolaka Regency. Kolaka is one of the cities in Southeast Sulawesi. Southeast Sulawesi is one of the provisions in Sulawesi which is the center of cocoa production after South Sulawesi with total area of 260,458 ha and with production 142,156 tons (Ditjenbun, 2012). Cocoa production centers in southeast sulawesi are located in Latambaga and Samaturu Sub-districts. Partners in the IbM program are cocoa farmers of Induha Urban Village, Latambaga Sub-district and cocoa farmer in Samaturu Sub-district. Various cooperation programs have been conducted to improve the quality of cocoa commodities in Kolaka District. In its development, classical problems remain faced by partner farmers both in terms of production and business management. In terms of production, pre-harvest problems faced by farmers are cocoa pests and diseases, which cause the farmers’ dependence on pesticides and chemical fungicides as well as the age of plants, therefore, it is important to reduce the use of pesticides and chemical fungicides because in the long term it can have adverse impact on environmental sustainability and health. The problem of post-harvest for partner farmers is a low quality of cocoa production. Most cocoa farmers process cocoa fruits to be dried beans in a rough way so that ± 90% of the cocoa beans produced by farmers have a low quality with the main characteristic is not fermented. The problem faced by farmers  in the marketing chain is the oligopsoni market structure, where farmers are at the lowest position so that farmers do not have bargaining position. The objectives of IbM program were to 1) Reduce farmers’ dependence on pesticides and chemical fungicides with the utilization of environmentally friendly pesticides 2) Design the fermentor to improve the quality of cocoa beans 3) Enhance the bargaining position of farmers through the active role of Farmer group (Gapoktan)  in the marketing chain of cocoa

<p>Cocoa has become one of the strategic export commodities which accounted for the fourth largest foreign exchange after oil palm, rubber, and coconut. Indonesian cocoa production is significantly increasing, but the quality is still unsatisfactory. This will give conveying pathern of low quality of Indonesian cocoa in international markets. The producers need to improve the cocoa beans quality and start selling intermediate to final processed product. The fermentation process is an essensial stage of cocoa beans processing to guarantee a good flavor and aroma. Pressing process is also a very important step of process in determining the quality of cocoa.This research was aimed to determine the influence of cocoa liquefied temperature on the fat yield and fat content of the cocoa powder obtained from pressing of cocoa paste with a hydraulic pressing system. The result of this study is expected to provide information on the effectiveness of pressing at several cocoa paste temperatures. The treatments was arranged in Factorial Designwith 3 treatments of cocoa paste temperature (room temperature (± 30<sup>o</sup>C), 40<sup>o</sup>C and 50<sup>o</sup>C), and 3 replication for fermented and without fermentation cocoa. The results of this study show that effective temperature on compression of paste is at a temperature of 50 <sup>o</sup>C which generated the most fat yield and the lowest fat content of cocoa powder.</p><p> </p><p><strong>PENGARUH SUHU PEMASTAAN TERHADAP RENDEMEN DAN KADAR LEMAK BUBUK KAKAO HASIL PENGEMPAAN DARI BIJI KAKAO FERMENTASI DAN NON FERMENTASI</strong></p><p>Kakao telah menjadi salah satu komoditas ekspor strategis yang menyumbang devisa negara terbesar keempat setelah kelapa sawit, karet, dan kelapa. Produksi biji kakao Indonesia secara signifikan terus meningkat, namun mutu yang dihasilkan masih kurang memuaskan. Hal tersebut akan menurunkan citra kakao Indonesia di pasaran luar negeri. Keadaan ini menuntut produsen kakao untuk terus meningkatkan mutu biji kakao dan mulai mengalihkan perhatian untuk tidak hanya menjual kakao dalam bentuk biji, tetapi juga dalam bentuk bahan jadi maupun setengah jadi. Proses fermentasi merupakan tahapan pengolahan biji kakao yang vital dan mutlak untuk menjamin dihasilkannya citarasa maupun aroma cokelat yang baik. Proses pengempaan juga merupakan proses yang sangat penting dalam menentukan mutu kakao. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu pasta kakao terhadap rendemen lemak dan kadar lemak bubuk kakao dengan pengempaan sistem hidrolik. Perlakuan disusun dalam Rancangan faktorial, dengan 3 perlakuan suhu pasta yaitu suhu ruang (± 30 <sup>o</sup>C), suhu 40 <sup>o</sup>Cdan suhu 50 <sup>o</sup>C masing-masing 3 ulangan untuk jenis bahan kakao fermentasi dan tanpa fermentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan suhu efektif pada pengempaan yang dilakukan adalah pengempaan pasta pada suhu 50 <sup>o</sup>C dimana dihasilkan rendemen lemak paling banyak dan kadar lemak bubuk kakao paling rendah.</p>

The main function of agricultural extensionists is to facilitate learning and disseminate new knowledge and technologies through non-formal educational settings. This will lead to improved agricultural productivity and increase farmers’ income. In the lens of the cocoa production scenario in Malaysia, it used to be a popular crop as this sector became the third-largest producer in the world since the 1980s, however that has changed over the years. Despite the reduced size of land use and the dropping production of cocoa over the past decades, exports of cocoa beans and cocoa products are growing steadily each year. Thus, with the overwhelming demand for Malaysian chocolate products from other regions, cocoa production should be boosted and not overlooked. Transfer of Technology (ToT) can be seen as the main catalyst that can improve farmers’ performance through extension agent capabilities, this study will determine the factors of ToT skills that contribute to the work performance of extension agents in the Malaysian Cocoa Board (MCB). A total of 353 productive cocoa farmers were employed in this study to evaluate the work performance of extension agents using a structured questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive and regression analyses. The results indicated that all the ToT skills (technical skill, technology delivery skill, and evaluation skill) are significant (p < 0.05) towards the work performance of extension agents. The R2 value of 0.520 implies that the three contributors explain about 52% of the variance in the work performance in this study. Hence, this shows the importance of ToT skills in improving the work performance of extension agents, particularly in the MCB and cocoa industry in Malaysia.
