Cocoa and chocolate are the subjects of much research in the fields
of food chemistry, food technology, and health science. We now know
that cocoa contains a remarkable number of bioactive compounds, and
these are being tested in humans to verify their disease prevention
characteristics. This state of the art text thoroughly explores the
different aspects of the relationship between chocolate and health.
After introductory discussion of the historical background, careful
attention is devoted to technological developments designed to
improve the health-giving qualities of chocolate and biochemical
and clinical trials of cocoa and its components. Various health
impacts of cocoa and chocolate are thoroughly evaluated, including
acute vascular effects and effects on blood pressure, blood lipids,
and platelets. Psychological drivers of chocolate consumption and
craving are also considered. Readers will find this book to be a
rich source of essential information on cocoa and chocolate, their
purported health-giving qualities, and the advances that are being
made in this area.
