The results of these studies show that it is possible to maintain or increase the biological activity of cocoa beans and their derived products (cocoa powder and chocolate) by choosing appropriate processing conditions and cocoa genotype and origin. The papers published in this Special Issue confirm that cocoa beans and cocoa by-products can be considered as an attractive source material for manufacturing of functional foods and nutraceuticals. This is because they contain many bioactive compounds, mainly polyphenols, including flavonoids (proanthocyaninidins, monomeric flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanins) and phenolic acids, as well as melanoidins. Finally, the in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the importance of cocoa antioxidants for the prevention of oxidative stress and inflammation. 606 $aResearch 606 $aBiology 606 $aFood$xSocial aspects 610 $acocoa 610 $achocolate 610 $apolyphenols 610 $aantioxidants 610 $amelanoidins 610 $atheobroma cacao L. 610 $atotal phenolic compounds 610 $aantioxidant capacity 610 $ametal-chelating ability 610 $afourier transform infrared spectroscopy 610 $aflavan-3-ol 610 $aprocyanidin 610 $a?-glucosidase 610 $amelanoidin 610 $aMaillard reaction 610 $a(-)-epicatechin 610 $aborderline hypertensive rats 610 $anitric oxide 610 $aredox balance 610 $airon 610 $aNrf2 610 $aPPAR-? 610 $aopen field 610 $acocoa by-products 610 $acherry extract 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $ahuman endothelial cell 610 $aroasting 610 $acatechin 610 $aepicatechin 610 $atotal phenolic content 610 $aCriollo cocoa 610 $akinetic 610 $aflavonoids 610 $acocoa extract 610 $aischemia-reperfusion injury 610 $aapoptosis 610 $ainflammatory markers 610 $aconching 610 $amilk chocolate 610 $amilk powder 610 $aprotein 610 $aantioxidant activity 610 $asolid-liquid kinetic extraction 610 $apolyphenol oxidase 610 $acocoa polyphenols 610 $aheat treatment 610 $aenzyme inactivation 615 0$aResearch. 615 0$aBiology. 615 0$aFood$xSocial aspects. 702 $aOracz$b Joanna 702 $aZ?yz?elewicz$b Dorota 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557141503321 996 $aAntioxidants in Cocoa$93034924 997 $aUNINA
