General
The ‘cocoa powder content’ of products of this chapter is normally calculated by multiplying the sum of the contents of theobromine and caffeine by a factor of 31.
The theobromine and caffeine contents are determined by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography).
In the case of products containing caffeine or theobromine from sources other than cocoa, these additional amounts of caffeine or theobromine should not be taken into account in calculating the cocoa content.
