Some physical and chemical characteristics of the pod husk of F3 Amazon, Trinitario and Amelonado cocoa in Nigeria
Studies of some physical and chemical characteristics of F3 Amazon, T9/15 and Amelonado cocoa have shown that the pod husk of each cultivar is separable into three portions: the "outer" pericarp, the "middle" pericarp and the "inner" pericarp. Most of the crude fibre is located in the "middle" pericarp. The "outer" pericarp constitutes over one-half of the whole husk. It is suggested that if ways could be found to separate the outer pericarp economically, it might be useful as food for livestock
