Sex‐Specific Effects of Cocoa on Hepatic Redox Regulation and Lipid Homeostasis in High‐Fat Diet‐Fed Mice

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 10, 27 May 2026.
This study characterized the sex‐dependent hepatic molecular mechanisms of action of dietary cocoa in the context of a high‐fat diet in a mouse model. These findings demonstrate the potential of dietary cocoa as a clinical intervention in managing obesity‐associated fatty liver diseases in both sexes.

Pharmacognostic Studies on Theobroma cacao

, 2022
Raw cocoa has the highest antioxidant value of all the natural foods in the world. Fresh cocoa beans are super-rich in the type of bioflavonoid called flavanols, which are strong antioxidants that help maintain healthy blood flow and blood pressure. Cornell University food scientists discovered that cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 843-860, May 2026.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Micronutrients for cacao: Availability classes in two soil layers

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Efficient management of soil micronutrients is crucial for the yield and sustainability of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.), especially in tropical regions. However, specific availability classes for copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn), extracted by Mehlich‐1, had not yet been established for the crop in Brazil. This study presents,
