A cocoa extract which is rich in procyanidin oligomers is made by extracting defatted cocoa beans with solvents or aqueous solvents which solubilize the procyanidins. The yield of procyanidins in an extract varies with the cocoa beans used, the solvent used, the pH of the solvent used and the extraction temperature. Extraction parameters can be optimized to increase procyanidin yield and to allow for the preferential extraction of higher or lower molecular weight oligomers. A preferred extraction method is a counter-current solvent extraction process in which the cocoa extract is recycled.
On obtient de l'extrait de cacao riche en oligomères de procyanidines en extrayant des fèves de cacao dégraissées au moyen de solvants et de solvants aqueux qui solubilisent les procyanidines. Le rendement des procyanidines dans un extrait varie en fonction des fèves de cacao utilisées, du solvant utilisé, du pH du solvant utilisé et de la température de l'extraction. On peut optimiser des paramètres d'extraction afin d'augmenter le rendement des procyanidines et permettre l'extraction préférentielle des oligomères de poids moléculaire inférieur ou supérieur. Un procédé d'extraction préféré repose sur un procédé d'extraction impliquant un solvant à contre-courant, au cours duquel on recycle l'extrait de cacao.
