What is Evaluation of the Effects of Eleven Bleaching Agents on Ground Cocoa Bean Tissue, Insect Fragments, and Rodent Hairs about?

Abstract Eleven bleaching agents were used to decolorize cocoa tissues, and their effects on insect fragments and rodent hairs were studied. Gilorine bleaches, potassium permanganate, and hydrogen peroxide all result in good bleaching of ground cocoa. However, chlorine bleaches completely destroy rodent hair, and potassium permanganate is not effective for high fat products. Hydrogen peroxide decolorizes cocoa bean tissue very well and does not destroy rodent hairs nor decolorize insect fragments. A mechanical means of evaluating the amount of bleaching of cocoa bean tissues is also described. Future studies are planned on the use of hydrogen peroxide as a plant tissue bleaching agent
