(EN) A process is disclosed for the production of polyphenol oligomers having n polyphenol monomeric units, n being an integer from 2-18. The process includes coupling of a protected polyphenol, having protected phenolic hydroxyl groups, which a C-4 functionalized polyphenol monomer. The protected polyphenol may be a protected polyphenol monomer or a protected polyphenol oligomer having 2-17 monomeric units. Advantageously, polyphenol monomeric units forming the polyphenol oligomers may be the same or different flavanoid compounds.(FR) L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'oligomères polyphénoliques possédant n motifs monomères de polyphénol, n représentant un entier compris entre 2 et 18. Le procédé consiste à coupler un polyphénol protégé, comportant des groupes hydroxyles phénoliques protégés, avec un monomère polyphénolique fonctionnalisé C-4. Le polyphénol protégé peut être un monomère polyphénolique protégé ou un oligomère polyphénolique protégé possédant 2 à 17 motifs monomères. Pour plus d'efficacité, les motifs monomères polyphénoliques formant les oligomères polyphénoliques peuvent être les mêmes ou peuvent être différents de composés flavonoïdes.

Foods and pharmaceuticals which contain cocoa and/or nut procyanidin(s) in combination with L-arginine are effective to induce a physiological increase in nitric oxide production in a mammal having ingested the product. A preferred food product is a confection, particularly a dark or milk chocolate containing nuts. The procyanidins may be natural or synthetic and may be provided by food ingredients such as chocolate liquor and/or cocoa solids prepared from underfermented beans and nut skins. The L-arginine may be natural or synthetic and may be provided by food ingredients such as nut meats, nut pastes, and/or nut flours, seeds, seed pastes, and/or seed flours, or gelatin. The beneficial health effects may include, for example, reduced blood pressure, resistance to cardiovascular disease, and anticancer activity.

The invention provides a dry cocoa mix having conserved concentrations of polyphenols, and in particular cocoa polyphenols. The method of this invention avoids the significant and detrimental polyphenol losses that occur during conventional manufacture by controlling the handling of ingredients in the batching process to provide a product containing a significant amount of the cocoa polyphenols present in the raw materials used to formulate the finished product. The cocoa polyphenol containing ingredient is partially defatted cocoa solids.
