Abstract: Cacao pod pericarp (CP) is used to produce a food ingredient, or flour, using convective-heat or freeze-drying and/or microwave drying methods. The observed physical and technological properties of dried CP revealed its potential application as an ingredient in manufactured food products. The levels of bioactive compounds are significantly increased in the dried CP samples compared to the raw material, especially in the case of the freeze dried methods. The commercially advantageous use of the cacao pod waste material can be used in treatments for humans and animals in order to improve several anthropometric measurements or cardiometabolic markers in the blood and to improve the composition and mass of the body. Embodiments for treating humans and animals include administering orally to decrease LDL/HDL ratios or triglyceride/HDL ratios, or administering topically as a cosmetic to treat fine lines, wrinkles, skin discoloration, and other skin conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of conditions related to mitochondrial function. In various aspects, the present invention comprises administering one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of epicatechin, an epicatechin derivative, catechin, a catechin derivative, nicorandil, and a nicorandil derivative in an amount effective to stimulate mitochondrial function in cells. The methods and compositions described herein provide for reducing infarct size in the heart following permanent ischemia or ischemia/reperfusion (IR) event or method for delaying, attenuating or preventing adverse cardiac remodeling, and can assist in prevention of impaired mitochondria biogenesis and thus prevention of the consequences of impaired mitochondrial biogenesis in various diseases and conditions, as well as provide for the active therapy of mitochondrial depletion that may have already occurred.

Abstract: This invention refers to a process for the manufacture of sorghum flour and the object of this invention is to obtain flour by a dry process, avoiding with it production of sorghum flour by a humid method.
