Uses of mid-infrared spectroscopy and chemometric models for differentiating between dried cocoa bean varieties [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2023 Generally, the taxonomic classification of cocoa beans is based on the theobromine/caffeine ratio determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, this technique involves laborious and time-consuming calculations. Attenuated total

Chronic administration of theobromine inhibits mTOR signal in rats
, 2018 Theobromine is a caffeine derivative and the primary methylxanthine in Theobroma cacao. We have shown previously that theobromine inhibits the Akt‐mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signal in vitro.

Biosynthesis and Genetic Tuning of Guanine Crystals via Metabolic Engineering of Yeast
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 40, 28 September 2026.We demonstrate how yeast cells can be harnessed as cellular factories for the synthesis of optically functional guanine crystals, where genetic editing is used to tune crystal size, order and optical properties. This demonstrates a powerful new biosynthetic approach for the development of sustainable and biocompatible optical pigments, which utilizes ...
