- Abstract
Cocoa shell is one of the main by-products of cocoa beans. It is separated from the nibs and are disposed of, as it could affect the final quality of cocoa products. As a result, a high amount of waste can be produced during mass production of cocoa beans. Indonesia is one of the largest producers of cocoa beans, and thus hundreds of tonnes of cocoa shells being thrown away can be expected each year. Despite being considered waste, cocoa shells are actually nutritionally dense, containing high amounts of dietary fiber and polyphenols. Using the appropriate treatment to remove the naturally occurring mycotoxins in cocoa shells, this underutilized ingredient can have economical value when incorporated into food products. Some products that are included in this review, namely corn extruded snacks, butter biscuits, cooked beef, and a functional beverage, all show an increase in polyphenols and dietary fibers when cocoa shells were added. However, the main challenge of cocoa shell application lies in the sensory acceptability of the consumers. This paper summarizes the overview of the nutritional and chemical compositions of cocoa shell and its potential application in the food industry as a functional ingredient.
