Compuestos fenólicos fermentados del cacao poscosecha: potencial antioxidante y aplicaciones biomédicas
Abstract: Post-harvest cocoa residues represent an underutilized source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant potential. This paper explores the extraction of phenolic compounds through fermentation processes of Theobroma cacao by-products and their application in the biomedical field. Through a literature review and analysis of recent experimental experiences, it is evident that these compounds have properties relevant to the development of nutraceuticals, therapeutic antioxidant agents, and preventive strategies against chronic noncommunicable diseases [1,2].
