A survey on five kinds of cocoa beans from new cocoa planting countries was conducted to analyze each kind's basic quality. The average bean weight and butter content of Hainan cocoa beans were the lowest, at less than 1.1 g, and 39.24% to 43.44%, respectively. Cocoa beans from Indonesia where shown to be about 8.0% and 9.0% higher in average bean weight and butter content, respectively, than that of Papua New Guinea and about 20.0% and 25.0% higher in average bean weight and butter content than Chinese dried beans, respectively. The average total polyphenolic content ranged from 81.22 mg/10 g to 301.01 mg/10 g. The Hainan 2011 sample had the highest total polyphenolic content, followed by the unfermented sample from Indonesia and the Papua New Guinea sample. The polyphenolic levels found in the Hainan 2010 sample were 123.61 mg/10 g and lower than the other three samples, but the Indonesian fermented sample had the lowest total polyphenolic content of 81.22 mg/10 g. The average total amino acid content ranged from 11.58 g/100 g to 18.17 g/100 g. The total amino acid content was the highest in the Indonesian unfermented sample, followed by the Hainan 2011 sample and the Papua New Guinea sample. The levels found in the Hainan 2010 sample were lower; the Indonesian fermented sample had the lowest total amino acid content.
对来自新可可种植国家的五种可可豆进行了调查，以分析每种可可豆的基本品质。海南可可豆的平均豆重和可可脂含量最低，分别低于1.1克和39.24%至43.44%。印度尼西亚的可可豆平均豆重和可可脂含量分别比巴布亚新几内亚高约8.0%和9.0%，比中国干豆的平均豆重和可可脂含量分别高约20.0%和25.0%。总多酚含量平均在81.22毫克/10克至301.01毫克/10克之间。海南2011年的样本总多酚含量最高，其次是印度尼西亚的未发酵样本和巴布亚新几内亚的样本。海南2010年样本中的多酚含量为123.61毫克/10克，低于其他三个样本，但印度尼西亚的发酵样本总多酚含量最低，为81.22毫克/10克。总氨基酸含量平均在11.58克/100克至18.17克/100克之间。总氨基酸含量在印度尼西亚未发酵样本中最高，其次是海南2011年样本和巴布亚新几内亚样本。海南2010年样本中的含量较低；印度尼西亚的发酵样本总氨基酸含量最低。
