COCOA BUTTER EXTRACTION FROM COCOA NIBS USING SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE
By
ASEP EDI KUSNADI
April 2009 Chairman: Professor Jinap Selamat, PhD
Faculty: Food Science and Technology Cocoa beans consist mainly of cocoa butter (50-55% w/w). High quality cocoa butter
used in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products is obtained by mechanical press,
expeller, and solvent extraction using hexane. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)
using carbon dioxide as a solvent has provided an excellent alternative to the use of
chemical solvent in the extraction of cocoa butter from different plant matrices. In
comparison with established methods, SFE has some important advantages,
particularly in its ability to yield products that are completely free from processing
residues. SFE is also an alternative from the standpoint of time-saving and for
environmental reasons such as the reduction of the use of large solvent volumes.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an ideal solvent for extraction of natural products because it
is nontoxic, odorless, tasteless, non explosive, readily available, and easily
removable from the products.
iv
This work is divided into several part namely; 1) the effect of flow rate with different
pressure on cocoa butter extraction using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2), 2) a
study on the sample matrix involving: the effect of particle size, degree of
fermentation and alkalization on cocoa butter extraction using supercritical fluid; 3) a
study on the effect of moisture content, roasting time and roasting temperature on
cocoa butter extraction using supercritical fluid, 4) a study on the effect of cosolvents
with types and concentrations of polar cosolvents and non polar cosolvents in cocoa
butter extraction using SC-CO2, 5) to evaluate the mass transfer parameters in cocoa
butter extraction by SFE using the Sovova Lacks plug flow model (SLM) for the
effect of flow rate with different pressure, the effects of polar and non polar
cosolvents, and also using single sphere model (SSM) for the effects of particle size,
degree of fermentation, pH alkalization, moisture content, roasting time and roasting
temperature and 6) to determine the triacylglycerols composition and fatty acid
methyl esters composition of cocoa butter extracted that resulted from extraction
using SC-CO2 and SC-CO2 with cosolvents.
The study on the effect of flow rate and pressure found that the optimum conditions
for flow rate and pressure for cocoa butter extraction using SC-CO2 were at 2 ml/min
and 35 MPa, r espectively. The highest yields were obtained from cocoa nibs sample
with smaller particle size (S1= 0.07 mm) with 92% yield for almost 20 h using SC-
CO2, unfermented nibs (F1) with 100% yield for almost 10 h using ethanol 25% as
cosolvent in SC-CO2 and roasting treatment of 150 oC and 35 min (R6) with 100%
yield for almost 14 h using ethanol 25% (mol %) as cosolvent in SC-CO2. Increasing
roasting time and temperature have resulted in the increase of the yield. Furthermore,
v
the highest yield was produced from high pH (7.5 -7.9) of dark alkalized cocoa
liquor (A1) with 73.70% yield for nearly 18 h extraction time using ethanol 25% as
cosolvent in SC-CO2 and high moisture content (M5 =17.64%) with 60.73% after
nearly 20 h extraction using SC-CO2.
Statistically, the yield (p<0.05) significantly was affected by all the treatment,
however no significant different was observed for both light alkalized cocoa liquor
(pH = 6.8-7.2) and alkalized natural cocoa liquor (pH = 5.0 – 5.9), and both moisture
content of 9.79 and 17.64%, respectively.
Ethanol showed the best cosolvent on the yield in SC-CO2, followed by isopropanol,
acetone, hexane and cyclohexane. The yield increased with an increase in
concentration of cosolvents (25%>15%>5%), except for acetone in which 15%
concentration was higher than 25% and 5%. Extraction of cocoa butter using SC-CO2
with polar cosolvents obtained a yield higher than non polar cosolvents. All
treatment of cosolvents studied statistically significantly different at p<0.05.
The two mathematical models are based on mass transfer were used. First model, the
Sovova’s lack’s plug flow model (SLM) was used to describe the extraction process
of effect of flow rate with different pressure and effect of polar and non polar
cosolvents. The hardly accessible solute xk and the volume mass transfer coefficients
in the fluid phase (F) and solid phase S were used as fitting parameters. The
maximum average deviation between measured and calculated oil yield was 6.861%.
Mass transfer coefficients in the fluid phase and solid phase varied between 6.528.E-
vi
06 to 1.498E-04 s-1 and between 5.185.E-06 to 9.144E-04 s-1, respectively. Second
model, the single sphere model (SSM) was used to describe the extraction process of
effect of particle size, degree of fermentation, pH of alkalization, moisture content,
roasting time and roasting temperature. Adjusting of effective intraparticle diffusion
coefficient (De) and estimation of parameter of coefficient of mass transfer in the
fluid phase (kf) and overall mass transfer coefficient kp and parameters were
evaluated. The result showed that De, kf and kp varied between 8.900E-16 to 1.850E-
09 m2/s, between 1.139E-10 to 2.115E-04 m/s and between 9.581E-12 to 8.992E-05
m/s, respectively. All experimental data results of extraction curves were fitted fairly
well by using both of the SLM model and SSM model with average absolute relative
deviation (AARD) between measured and calculated oil yield were maximum of
6.861.
The results showed that cocoa butter extracted from various treatments had three
main triacylglycerol (TG) namely Glycerol-1,3-Dipalmitate-2-Oleate (POP),
Glycerol-1-Palmitate-2-Oleate-3-Stearate (POS), and Glycerol-1,3-Distearate-2-
Oleate (SOS). In general, POS was the major component with 42.16 to 45.78%
followed by SOS and POP with 27.60 to 31.67% and 20.09 to 22.79%, respectively.
Furthermore, analysis of fatty acid (FA) showed that palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic
acid (C18:0) and oleic acid (C18:1) were the three main fatty acids in the cocoa
butter extracted with stearic acid being the major component with 34.82 to 39.06%,
followed by oleic acid and palmitic acid with 28.48 to 31.72% and 28.27 to 31.33%,
respectively. Statistically, there are differences the effects of all treatment on TG and
FA compositions.

Pengerusi: Profesor Jinap Selamat, PhD
Fakulti: Sains dan Teknologi Makanan Sebahagian besar daripada komponen biji koko terdiri daripada lemak koko (50-55%),
dimana lemak koko yang berkualiti tinggi yang digunakan di dalam produk makanan,
kosmetik dan farmaseutikal diperolehi melalui proses pengekstrakan menggunakan
tekanan secara mekanik, penggunaan tekanan dengan kuasa putaran dan pelarut kimia
seperti heksana. Proses pengekstrakan dengan cecair superkritik (SFE) yang
menggunakan gas karbon dioksida sebagai pelarut telah menjadi satu alternatif yang
baik bagi pengekstrakan lemak koko daripada matriks tumbuhan yang berbeza
berbanding pengekstrakan menggunakan pelarut kimia. Dibandingkan dengan cara
yang sedia pakai, SFE mempunyai beberapa kelebihan terutamanya dalam
menghasilkan produk yang bebas dari sisa-sisa pemprosesan. SFE juga lebih baik dari
segi penjimatan masa dan lebih mesra alam sekitar kerana mengurangkan penggunaan
pelarut dalam isi padu yang tinggi. Karbon dioksida pula merupakan pelarut yang
viii
ideal bagi pengekstrakan produk asli kerana ciri-cirinya yang tidak toksik, tidak
berbau, tidak mempunyai rasa, tidak mudah meletup/terbakar, sedia didapati dan
mudah dipisahkan dari produk.
Kajian ini dimulakakan dengan mengkaji, 1) kesan kadar alir dengan tekanan yang
berbeza ke atas pengekstrakan lemak koko menggunakan supercritical karbon
dioksida (SC-CO2), 2) kajian matriks sampel: kesan saiz partikel, darjah penapaian
dan pengalkalian, 3) kajian untuk kesan kandungan kelembapan, masa pemanggangan
dan suhu pemanggangan dan 4) kesan pelarut penyokong/pengubahsuai (CS)
mengikut jenis dan kepekatan dari pada CS yang bersifat polar dan tidak polar semasa
pengekstrakan lemak koko menggunaan SC-CO2, 5) kajian pemindahan jisim
menggunakan model Sovova yang berasaskan model lanjutan aliran palam Lack
(SLM) untuk pengaruh kadar alir dengan tekanan berbeza dan kesan CS yang polar
dan tak polar, dan juga model partikel bulat tunggal (SSM) untuk pengaruh saiz
partikel, tingkatan penapaian, pengalkalian, massa pemanggangan dan suhu
pemanggangan dan 6) kajian komposisi daripada trigliserida dan asid lemak yang
terekstrak menggunakan SC-CO2 dan CS.
Kajian ini mendapati keadaan optimum bagi kadar alir dan tekanan yang digunakan
untuk pengekstrakan lemak koko menggunakan SC-CO2 adalah pada 2 mL/min dan
35 MPa. Hasil tertinggi diperolehi daripada nib koko yang mempunyai saiz partikel
terkecil (S1= 0.07 mm) dengan penghasilan 92% setelah hampir 20 jam menggunakan
SC-CO2, nib koko tertapai (F1) dengan penghasilan 100% setelah hampir 10 jam
menggunakan etanol sebagai CS di dalam SC-CO2 dan juga bagi pemanggangan 150
ix
oC dan 35 min (R6) dengan 100% hasil setelah hampir 14 jam menggunakan 25%
etanol (%mol) sebagai CS di dalam SC-CO2. Peningkatan suhu dan masa
pemanggangan telah menningkatkan hasil yang diperolehi. Hasil yang tinggi juga
diperolehi daripada likur koko hitam yang beralkali pada pH tinggi 7.5-7.9 (A1)
dengan 73.70% hasil setelah pengekstrakan selama 18 jam menggunakan 25% etanol
sebagai CS di dalam SC-CO2 dan juga pada kandungan kelembapan yang tinggi (M5
= 17.64%) dengan 60.73% hasil setelah pengekstrakan menggunakan SC-CO2 selama
20 jam.
Secara statistiknya, hasil yang diperolehi dipengaruhi oleh semua perlakuan
penyelidikan pada p<0.05, tetapi tiada perbezaan yang signifikan diperolehi bagi
kedua-dua koko likur beralkali rendah (pH = 6.8-7.2) dan koko likur beralkali asli (pH
= 5.0 – 5.9) dan juga pada kedua-dua kandungan kelambapan masing-masing 9.79 dan
17.64%.
Etanol telah menunjukkan ciri terbaik sebagai CS bersama SC-CO2, diikuti oleh
isopropanol, aseton, siklohesana dan heksana. Peningkatan hasil diperolehi bersama
peningkatan kepekatan (mol%) daripada CS (25%>15%>5%), kecuali bagi aseton
yang mana pada kepekatan 15% mempunyai hasil yang lebih tinggi dari 25 dan 5%.
Pengekstrakan lemak koko dengan SC-CO2 bersama CS yang polar mempunyai hasil
yang tinggi berbanding CS yang tidak polar. Semua perlakuan dalam penyelidikan
tentang pengaruh CS secara statistik menunjukkan perbezaan yang signifikan pada
p<0.05.
x
Kedua dua model berasaskan pemindahan jisim dapat dilakukan. SLM dapat
digunakan untuk menjelaskan terjadinya pengaruh kadar alir dengan tekanan berbeza
dan efek dari pada jenis dan konsentrasi CS yang polar dan non polar. Parameter dari
xk, F dan S dapat digunakan untuk penilaian parameter pemindahan jisim dalam fasa
bendalir dan padatan dari pada data eksperimen. AARD maksimum adalah 6.861%.
Koefisien pemindahan jisim fasa bendalir dengan padatan adalah beragam masing-
masing diantara 6.528.E-06 - 1.498E-04 s-1 dan 5.185.E-06 - 9.144E-04 s-1. Untuk
model kedua (SSM), hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa nilai-nilai De, kf dan kp
beragam, dimana masing-masing berada diantara 8.900E-16 - 1.850E-09 m2/s,
1.139E-10 - 2.115E-04 m/s dan 9.581E-12 - 8.992E-05 m/s. Semua rajah dari data
eksperimen memberikan hasil yang bersesuaian dengan model, dengan AARD
maksimum pada 6.861.
Keputusan menunjukkan lemak koko yang diekstrak dari proses yang berbeza
mengandungi tiga jenis trigliserida (TG) utama yaitu 1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-
Gglycerol (POP), 1-Palmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Stearoyl-Glycerol (POS) dan 1,3-
Distearoyl-2-Oleoyl-Glycerol (SOS). Secara amnya, POS didapati dalam kandungan
yang tertinggi sebanyak 42.16-45.78% diikuti oleh SOS dan POP masing-masing
sebanyak 27.60-31.67% dan 20.09-22.79%. Analisa asid lemak (FA) menunjukkan
bahawa asid palmitik (C16:0), asid stearik (C18:0) dan asid oleik (C18:1) merupakan
tiga asid lemak utama didalam lemak koko yang diekstrak dengan kandungan tertinggi
asid strearik sebanyak 34.82-39.06%, diikuti oleh asid oleik dan asid palmitik masing-
masing sebanyak 28.48-31.72 dan 28.27-31.33%. Secara statistik terdapt pengaruh
yang berbeda dari semua perlakukan terhadap kandungan TG dan FA lemak.
