| description | The SENA's Center for Attention to the Agricultural Sector, Santander region, has a sensory analysis laboratory and a panel of judges in training for cocoa tasting. The Santandereana region is the largest cocoa producing area in Colombia. During the cocoa transformation process, defects in the beans occur, causing the loss of the characteristics of the cocoa nibs to obtain a quality cocoa liquor and at the same time devaluing it. It is necessary to perform a sensory characterization of the cocoa liquor produced in the SENA headquarters Aguas Calientes in the municipality of Playón, in order to identify defects and provide information to producers to improve the processes of benefit (fermentation and drying) and to improve the quality of the beans. The development of the research project was based on the guide for the tasting sheet of sensory analysis of cocoa proposed by USAID, EQUAL EXCHANGE and TCHO, (2018) and the requirements established in the standard NTC-ISO-TS 17234:2006 which establishes the requirements that must be met by the cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao L.) benefited, intended for processing, marketing to be applied for classification. Obtaining the characterization of flavor and aroma by the panel of judges in training of cocoa liquors from clones selected for their quality, performance, taste, fine aroma and a classification according to the characteristics presented by each sample. |
