Measure and record the values of the acidity, humidity, fat, pH of the cocoa mass and the value of saccharose
for the sweetened cocoa mass and organize the samples depending on their values since each customer has its
own requirement s.
Measure and record the values of the humidity, fat and pH of cocoa powder, and classify them depending on
their pH values.
Update the iron notebook in order to make sure that the iron contain is acceptable and future transformation of
the sample can take place.
Montclair State University: Undergrad research. Montclair, NJ (01/11-12/11)
Carbon Black Iodine number. Make up the solution that will be used for the experiments.
Adding or emphasizing steps in the titrations protocols to assure its success and maximize the chance of
obtaining the most accurate values.
Use the results from the titrations to determine quantity absorbed by for Activated Carbon, graphite Oxide and
Reduced Oxide.
Use the UV absorption machine to know the quantity of carbon absorbed for Activated Carbon, Reduced
Oxide,Graphite Oxide and Methylene Blue.
Use the graph of the absorption curves to analyze and comments the results, which solutions absorbed more and
why, as well as why some protocols were better than others, why some steps were added or removed.
