Abstract

This research was carried out at La Represa Experimental Farm, property of the State Technical University of Quevedo and at the Cocoa Quality Lab, belonging to EET-Pichilingue-INIAP for a period of four months. The objective was to characterize the physical -- chemical attributes of beans and sensory attributes of paste/pasta in fifteen clones of cocoa, being twelve of type Nacional and three witnesses (batons) (CCN-51, EET-103 y IMC-67). A completely randomized design with three repetitions was used. The studied variables were: seed and cob index, number of beans, 100 seed weight, head pH and percentage. For chemical evaluation fat, energy, and ash were registered. Sensory attributes (flavors, acidity, bitterness, astringency, and sweetness; cocoa, floral, fruits, nuts, and other flavors were evaluated using a 0 to 5 ordinal scale, besides raw/green and mold defects. Principal Components Analysis was made. Concerning physical attributes, clones EET-103, CCN-51 y IMC-67 were better. DIRCYT-C225 presented the best sensory profile Arriba or floral flavor with high potentiality for chocolate industry.
