Fermentation
The white beans are best dried in the open-air, which alters the colour to a light brown. Beans used in chocolate, are roasted to get that deeply brown colour.
It is assumed that the color of the raw beans comes from polyphenolic compounds and anthocyanins, which during the fermentation process, due to various transformations, form polycondensation products, the so called phlobaphenes. These compounds contribute to the formation of the typical brown color of cocoa beans

A bean crock may weep brown liquid due to the natural release of starches, sugars, and pigments from the beans during the cooking process. This liquid can also contain some of the beans' nutrients and flavors, which is normal. If the beans are overcooked or if there’s too much liquid, it can exacerbate the weeping. Additionally, using hard water can sometimes contribute to discoloration.
