This research was conducted at\u0000PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) XII, Ngrangkah Pawon plantation, Kediri Regency and\u0000Laboratory of Agrotechnology, Universitas Darussalam Gontor in April-August 2020. The\u0000research design used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor\u0000was the addition of tape yeast (R) which consisted of 5 levels, namely: no yeast (R0), the\u0000addition of 0.5% tape yeast (R1), 1.0% (R2), 1.5% (R3), and 2.0% (R4). The second\u0000factor was plant leaves (D) which consisted of 5 levels, namely: D1 (banana leaves), D2\u0000(teak leaves), D3 (taro leaves), D4 (papaya leaves) and D5 (bamboo leaves). Observation\u0000parameters included fermentation temperature of cocoa beans, pulp acidity (pH) of cocoa\u0000beans, the account of cocoa beans per 100 g, moisture content, sugar content, cut test and,\u0000phytochemical qualitative test. Observation data were analyzed by using analysis of\u0000variance (ANOVA) and further tested with LSD 5%. The addition of tape yeast and plant\u0000leaves as a cover for fermented cocoa beans improved the quality of the dry cocoa beans.\u0000There was no interaction between the addition of tape yeast and plant leaves as a cover for\u0000fermented cocoa beans in all observations of the quality of dry cocoa beans. The addition\u0000of 1% tape yeast improved the quality of fermented cocoa beans on the parameters of\u0000fermentation temperature on day 2 (43.2℃), the account of cocoa beans per 100 g (93.8\u0000cocoa beans), sugar content (2.8°Bx) and brown seed color (99.2%). Teak leaves, taro\u0000leaves, papaya leaves and bamboo leaves can be used as a cover for fermenting cocoa\u0000beans such as banana leaves which are commonly used by farmers.","PeriodicalId":12410,"journal":{"name":"Food Research","volume":"1 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140735419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
