Abstract

Cocoa bean shells is one of the main by-products of the cocoa roasting process, which represents 20% of total weight after the husking and grinding1. Find new recovery/recycling strategies for this by-product, complies with the Horizon 2020 call related with waste reduction and by-products valorisation2. The aim of this work was to establish an easily applicable extraction method that allowed an efficient recovery of polyphenols from the cocoa by-product and evaluate the antioxidant activity of the extracts potentially useful as food additives.
