“The levels of most important odorants were generally higher at high roasting temperature (150C) but decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with increased conching duration from 6–10 h at 80C.”
“Roasting at high temperature (120C or 150C), coupled with short-time conching (6–8 h) or no conching, makes the difference between heap- and tray-fermented samples more pronounced.”

“Additionally, GC-MS analysis of chocolate samples revealed that while most short-chain esters evaporated during conching, longer and more-fat-soluble ethyl and acetate esters”
“Chocolate production consists of a multistep process which, starting from cocoa beans, involves fermentation, drying, roasting, nib grinding and refining, conching, and tempering.”
