ABSTRACT:
Fresh cocoa beans to be fermented are treated by removing and separating the pulp content from the beans in an amount of from 10% to 30% by weight based upon the weight of the fresh beans. The pulp content may be removed and separated from the fresh means by passing the fresh beans dynamically through a depulper apparatus, which may be followed by drying of the depulped beans, or with a hydraulic press followed by drying of the pressed beans, or with a combination of a press and a depulper apparatus.
