چکیده
Cacao is a plant that belongs to the Malvaceae family. The n-hexane extract of cocoa pod husks (Theobroma cacao L) and its fraction was determined for cytotoxic activity by Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method which showed very strong activity. Isolation chemical components from Theobroma L. 7.4 (TCH 7.4) TCH 9.1 subfraction obtained with LC50 value 20.39 ppm 5.52 ppm, respectively. compounds were active as agents in patchouli alcohol pinene limonene.

متن کاملA new glycosylated dihydrophaseic acid from cacao germs (Theobroma cacao L.).
Cacao beans are composed of cacao nibs and germs. Although numerous chemical and physiological studies on cacao nib compounds have been reported, there is little information on cacao germ compounds. We therefore analyzed an extract from the cacao germ, and found two compounds that were specific to the germ. One of these two compounds was identified as the new glycosylated abscisic acid metaboli...
متن کاملIntragenic antimicrobial peptides from Theobroma cacao
Background It is well known that many bioactive peptides (intragenic) are encrypted in source proteins and that they can exert their function once released by proteolytic cleavage; e.g. hypotensive, opioids and antimicrobial peptides. However, other bioactive peptides may be “stuck” on a polipeptide chain with no cleavage sites for its release. These “non-obvious” intragenic peptides are also o...
متن کاملDevelopment and physical analysis of high fiber bread incorporated with cocoa (Theobroma cacao sp. ) pod husk powder
The main approach of this study is to develop high fiber bread by utilizing the cocoa-by products, namely cocoa pod husk which is incorporated into whole meal bread. The cocoa pod husk can be classified as one of the source of high fiber. The cocoa pod husk was dried and milled in order to produce the cocoa pod husk powder (CPHP). There were five different percentages of CPHP level incorporated...
