Review highlights sensory analysis and chemical compounds in cocoa liquor, suggesting improved methods for flavor understanding.

Understanding cocoa liquor flavor is crucial for chocolate production, and it significantly influences chocolate's overall flavor profile.
Sensory analysis alongside gas chromatography olfactometry can reveal the key volatile compounds affecting cocoa liquor flavor characteristics.
Extraction parameters must be carefully controlled to effectively isolate volatile compounds from cocoa liquor and related materials.
Future studies should integrate sensory and instrumental techniques to deepen insights into the flavor chemistry of cocoa liquor.

Chaudhary et al. (2025) studied this question.
