PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cocoa component enhanced in levels of cocoa polyphenols, to provide a process for producing the cocoa component while conserving significant amount of the cocoa polyphenols, to obtain a composition containing the cocoa component or the cocoa polyphenols, and to provide a method for using the cocoa component or the cocoa polyphenols for improving the health of a mammal. SOLUTION: A method for producing roasted cacao nib or a fraction derived therefrom, and chocolate liquors or partially defatted cocoa solids comprises using cacao beans having fermentation coefficient of ≤275.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an instant health bar such as a chocolate granola bar, and chocolate confectionery such as black or milk chocolate chew. SOLUTION: The bar and the confectionery each contain sterol ester and/or stanol ester and a cacao solid containing high cacao procyanidin. The cacao solid is subjected to pretreatment with sterol/stanol ester or other edible oil or fat during preparing the product so as to prevent loss of cacao procyanidin. Other particulate antioxidant is also subjected to pretreatment with edible fat and/or oil, or an emulsifier such as lecithin so as to maintain the effect of the antioxidant.

摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a cocoa component having active cocoa polyphenol (particularly procyanidin) contents. SOLUTION: The method for producing a cocoa component comprises the following steps: roasting cacao beans or a mixture containing the cocoa beans so that the internal temperature of the cocoa beans having a fermentation coefficient of ≤275 rises to 95°C to 160°C, separating cocoa nib from cocoa shells by screening, and grinding down the cocoa nib so as to be formed into a chocolate liquid.
