Cloning techniques have been used to improve the agronomic traits of nine fine cocoa varieties, resulting in variations in the concentrations of bioactive amines, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant potential of dark monoclonal chocolates. The chemometric models based on FTIR data provided satisfactory predictions for the concentrations of amines, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity, confirming the significant contribution of amines to the antioxidant potential of chocolates. The analytical method (DPPH vs. Rancimat) also affected the results of antioxidant activity in the chocolates.
Cloning techniques are used to improve agronomical traits and answer to the demand for fine chocolate. The objective of this study was to predict the concentrations of bioactive amines, phenolic compounds, and the antioxidant potential of dark monoclonal chocolate from nine fine cocoa varieties by FTIR analysis and conventional techniques. Total phenolic compounds, bioactive amines and antioxidant activity varied significantly among chocolates. The antioxidant activity was also affected by the analytical method (DPPH vs. Rancimat). Chemometric models based on FTIR data provided satisfactory predictions of the concentrations of the amines: spermidine (R2 = 0.92; RMSEP = 0.39; RMSEC = 0.21), tryptamine (R2 = 0.92; RMSEP = 0.41; RMSEC = 0.20), cadaverine (R2 = 0.82; RMSEP = 1.58; RMSEC = 0.75) and tyramine (R2 = 0.87; RMSEP = 1.87; RMSEC = 0.68); as well as phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by Rancimat (R) (R2 = 0.98; RMSEP = 0.32; RMSEC = 0.21) and DPPH (R2 = 0.97; RMSEP = 4.05; RMSEC = 1.66). The wavenumbers of amines vibrations are among those that most affected antioxidant prediction models, confirming the contribution of amines to the antioxidant activity of chocolates.
