Theobromine is the primary methylxanthine found in products made from cacao (Theobroma cacao). We previously reported that theobromine acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that increases intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and permeates through the blood–brain barrier. Furthermore, cAMP signaling essentially influences the brain mechanism that mediates neural wiring and cognitive processes. An increase in intracellular cAMP level activates the cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), which in turn, leads to the expression of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), one of the neurotrophins that mediates neuronal functions such as learning and memory. We also recently showed that theobromine-fed mice and rats performed better in memory tasks in a CREB/BDNF pathway-dependent manner. Chocolate consumption—including dark chocolate—has recently increased around the world. In particular, dark chocolate has become very popular as it contains high concentrations of cacao and may have more beneficial effects on human health compared with normal or milk chocolate. The cacao content variability (50% to 85%) can generate a one- to seven-fold difference in the epicatechin and catechin content of chocolate, and the epicatechin content has been reported to vary from 4.4 mg per 40 g (50% cacao) to 31.7 mg per 40 g (85% cacao). Theobromine content also varies, from 75 mg per 50 g in milk chocolate (30% cacao) to 220 mg per 50 g in dark chocolate. In contrast, white chocolate is a cacao-free chocolate and contains few flavonoids and methylxanthine. The taste of white chocolate is not as bitter as that of cacao-based chocolate.
