Ultrasound-assisted high throughput continuous extraction for complete fragmentation of cocoa beans into valuable fractions and their formulations thereof
A process for the complete fractionation of cocoa beans with ‘zero waste’ into various value-added ingredients, a composition comprising cocoa polyphones/procyanidins and soluble dietary fiber, and a water dispersible and sustained release formulation of cocoa polyphones with cocoa soluble dietary fiber capable of forming a colloidal dispersion of bioactive cocoa polyphones in gastric fluid.
