Cadmium in Cacao From Soil to Bar’ the Journey of Cadmium at a Farm Level
Cadmium (Cd) is a non-nutritive element present across the earth. In cacao crops from South America, Cd has become one of the biggest challenges due to its ux from soils, and due to the enriched content of this metal, it makes its way into the beans and nally affects the chocolate quality. This manuscript aims to show how the ux of Cd occurs, from the soil to the post-harvest phase and chocolate production, by analysingthe possible inputs to the system in a single farm assessed as a model for enriched-Cd status. This study shows that both geogenic andanthropogenic activities have an incidence on the nal Cd content in chocolate, especially with respect to soil properties, fertiliser applications,post-harvest treatments and chocolate production.
