Theobromine

What is Theobromine?   

Theobromine is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in cocoa beans, tea leaves, and kola nuts. It is chemically very similar to theophylline, all belonging to the methylxanthine family.

Theobromine has a milder and longer-lasting effect. It is one of the main reasons for the slightly bitter taste of dark chocolate and a key substance in the pleasant and relaxing feeling that chocolate evokes.

Feature

Mild Central Nervous System Stimulation
Theobromine can refresh the mind, but unlike caffein, it doesn't cause the pronounced tension, anxiety, or rapid heartbeat. It provides a more soothing and longer-lasting boost in energy and mood.

Vasodilator and Blood Pressure Lowering
It promotes vasodilation and improves blood circulation, thus helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the burden on the heart.

Bronchodilation
Similar to theophylline, it relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchi, helping to improve breathing and has therefore been used historically to treat asthma.

Mild Diuretic
It promotes the kidneys' excretion of water and salt, producing a diuretic effect.

Muscle Relaxant
It has mild muscle-relaxing properties.

Applications

Food Industry

Chocolate and Cocoa Products: The core flavor compounds and functional components of chocolate. The pleasure derived from eating chocolate (especially dark chocolate) and some health benefits (such as improved mood and cardiovascular protection) are closely related to it.

Medicine

Diuretics: Historically used as a diuretic to treat edema.

Bronchodilates: Used as an adjunct treatment for asthma and bronchitis, but more effective and specialized medications are now available.

Vasodilators: Used to treat some circulatory-related diseases.

Health Supplements and Functional Foods

Mood Support and Energy Supplements: As an ingredient in health supplements, it provides gentle and sustained energy, avoids the side effects of caffein, and helps improve mood.

Sports Supplements: Utilizing its vasodilatory effect, it theoretically increases blood flow and oxygen delivery during exercise, potentially improving athletic performance.

Veterinary Medicine

Pet Poisoning Treatment: This is a very important modern application. Chocolate is toxic to pets such as dogs and cats because they cannot effectively metabolize theobromine and caffein. When a pet accidentally ingests chocolate, a veterinarian needs to understand the role of theobromine in order to provide detoxification treatment.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
