Cocoa beans contain a variety of nutritional compounds and are rich in biologically active substances. The aim of this study was to utilize cocoa nibs (roasted and unroasted) as the main ingredient in the development of an attractive and convenient product. The produced nibs were analyzed for total phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods.

- The study examines the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method for extracting bioactive compounds from purple-fleshed sweet potatoes, aiming to use these as natural colorants.
- The optimized extraction conditions were found to be 75 minutes, 70 °C, and a 1:15 solid-to-liquid ratio, resulting in significant increases in total anthocyanin and total phenolic content compared to traditional methods.
- The results suggest that UAE is a fast and effective technique for recovering bioactive compounds, with potential applications in various industries.
Studies have shown that anthocyanins attenuate obesity. In this review, we confirm these effects and explain the possible mechanisms underlying them. A systematic search was conducted in electronic databases using obesity as the main term along with anthocyanins and the main anthocyanidins, including articles in Portuguese, English, and Spanish without any restriction as to year.
