OBTAINMENT OF BIOACTIVE PRODUCTS FROM COCOA HAVING INHIBITORY ACTIVITY AGAINST THE PEP ENZYME AND ANTIOXIDANT AND/OR ANTINEURODEGENERATIVE ACTIVITY

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of bioactive products from raw plant matter, namely cocoa extracts. The said products have one or more biopeptides with prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) enzyme inhibitory activity in vitro and/or antioxidant and/or antineurodegenerative capacity in vivo and can be used in dietetics and in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
