theobromine is the main alkaloid in cocoa beans, the main bitter component of chocolate. It is white powder crystal or white needle Crystal, melting point 357 ℃, sublimation at 290~295 ℃. Solubility in water is less than caffeine, solubility in cold water is about 0. 05G/
lOOmL. The solubility in hot water is about 0.68g/lOOmL, soluble in alkali solution and concentrated sulfuric acid, 1 can be generated after the methylation of caffeine, there is a weak stimulation of the central nervous system, it has cardiotonic and diuretic effects.
from the leaves or stems of camellia, cocoa fruit or shell, Cola seeds with water or ethanol extraction after separation and purification.
can be used as a bittering agent for beverages or as a food additive.
