This research aims to explore the relationship between the aroma and antioxidant properties of single-origin chocolate from Indonesia and the quality of raw cocoa beans.
Evaluated cocoa beans from seven Indonesian regions using two roasting methods—dynamic and static.
Conducted gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis to identify volatile compounds contributing to aroma.
Characterised raw cocoa beans and chocolates for physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity.
Significant regional variations in cocoa beans' moisture, protein, pH, phenolic, and flavonoid contents.
Static roasting produced chocolates with higher moisture, better antioxidant retention, and lighter color than dynamic roasting.
Identified key aroma compounds including acetic acid and phenylethyl acetate through GC–MS analysis.
