Sažetak
The aim of the research within the project of the same title is to make chocolate production more sustainable through usage of cocoa shell in chocolate, sweet spread and cocoa instant beverage. Namely, app. 12 – 15 % of cocoa bean is a shell, which is discarded before or after roasting the beans. To this day, it has not been efficiently utilized. It has been used as a fuel, in biogas production, for animal feed and as a mulch, but in all these applications it has large limitations. At the same time, cocoa shell is a valuable source of fiber and polyphenols, and as such has a high potential for use in food industry. Up to now, we have produced dark and milk chocolates, and sweet cocoa spread with the addition of cocoa shell. Although it has an impact on rheological properties of these products, cocoa shell does not influence significantly polyphenolic profile, and sensory acceptability is slightly decreased. The ongoing research will be focused on instant cocoa drinks.
