Cocoa has been widely discussed as a bioactive food rich in sensory stimulation and health benefits. However, no information has been provided concerning phytoprostanes (PhytoPs) and phytofurans (PhytoFs) in cocoa. These compounds are of interest because they play a role in the regulation of immune function. The present study included 31 cocoa clones. The PhytoPs and PhytoFs were quantified by UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS. The total PhytoPs and PhytoFs contents ranged from 221.46 to 1589.83 ng g and from 1.18 to 13.13 ng g, respectively. The profiles of the PhytoPs and PhytoFs identified in the cocoa beans showed significant differences among the clones analysed. The results indicate that dry fermented cocoa beans are rich in PhytoPs and PhytoFs, which may represent an additional benefit of the consumption of foods derived from cocoa.
可可被广泛认为是一种富含感官刺激和健康益处的生物活性食品。然而，目前尚无关于可可中植物前列腺素（PhytoPs）和植物呋喃（PhytoFs）的信息。这些化合物之所以受到关注，是因为它们在调节免疫功能方面发挥着重要作用。本研究包括 31 个可可克隆品。采用 UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS 对 PhytoPs 和 PhytoFs 进行定量分析。总 PhytoPs 和 PhytoFs 含量范围分别为 221.46-1589.83ng/g 和 1.18-13.13ng/g。分析的克隆品中可可豆中鉴定的 PhytoPs 和 PhytoFs 图谱存在显著差异。结果表明，干发酵可可豆富含 PhytoPs 和 PhytoFs，这可能是食用可可衍生食品的另一个益处。
