Cocoa pod husk (Theobroma cacao l.) is a waste from cocoa beans processing. In this research we employ cocoa pod husk as activated carbon to decrease the value of FFA (Free Fatty Acid) in waste cooking oil and as K 2 CO 3 catalyst in biodiesel production process from waste cooking oil. Cocoa pod husk is a major waste of cocoa plants that can be used either as an organic fertilizer or as animal feed. For 972.400 hectares of cocoa plantation, produce as much as 572.900 tons of cocoa beans, while the waste generated reached 1.8766 million tons/year. However, only 94.515 tons of cocoa waste has been utilized. There’s a new cacao byproduct that’s not as famous and celebrated as chocolate, but could possibly be more beneficial and useful as far as weight management, digestive health, cardiovascular wellness, and even waste management are concerned. The cacao pod husk — previously taken for granted and disposed of as mere waste after cacao beans have been scooped out from the pod to make chocolate — is now a viable dietary fiber source. The cacao pod husk (CPH) is the primary waste byproduct of the chocolate industry. One ton of cacao beans generate approximately ten times that amount of fresh CPH. The husk is rich in phenolic ... The main waste product of cocoa production is cacao pod husk (CPH). Significant proportions of fibers were found. Phenolics are also present. Among the minerals, there was a predominance of potassium. Hot-water extracts from CPH yielded LM pectins highly acetylated. CPH seems be a potential source of fibers, including pectins, and also phenolics. The pectins from hot-water extracts from CPH showed different rheological properties. Cocoa Pod Husk (CPH) is the main by-product from the coca industry constituting 67–76% of the cocoa fruit weight. This waste represents an important, and challenging, economic, environmental renewable opportunity, since ten tons of wet CPH are generated for each ton of dry cocoa beans. There is more to cacao than chocolates. Processing cacao generates lots of cacao husks (which is 77% of cacao pod's weight) can be used as fuel briquettes. Traditionally, cacao farmers collect only cacao beans leaving the husks unutilized and generates foul odor and serves as inoculum of black pod rot and pathogens. DA-PhilMech conducted a study to develop cacao husk the farm leaves a huge amount of organic waste in form of the empty pod husks [3-5]. Some million tons of cacao pod husks are disposed of every year, often left behind in the fields, resulting in an undesirable waste of organic material [6] that contains valuable organic compounds. The simplest way to get rid of this pod husks is to macerate them and distribute them under the trees as organic ... CACAO POD HUSK Each ton of dry = seeds=20 represent about 10 tons of husk (fresh weight).

Among these wastes are cocoa pod husks (CPHs) which constitute about 81% of the cocoa fruit. At present in Uganda, CPHs are essentially waste products that are left on plantation sites to decompose which leads to several environmental issues, such as pests and diseases. Most of the cocoa produced in Uganda is exported.
