9.2% - 12.6%

Total Cacao Flavanols (DP1-7)

Why a range? Cacao is a natural agricultural product, so measured flavanol levels can vary between harvests, production lots and samples. We therefore publish the measured values associated with this previous batch rather than presenting one generic cacao value.

Across independent laboratory analyses associated with batch #MK-053290, total cacao flavanols (DP1-7) were measured between 9.2% and 12.6%.

At the highest measured concentration, 5 g of cacao corresponds to approximately 630 mg total flavanols (DP1-7) (126,000 mg/kg).

Epicatechin (DP1 Monomer)

Measured epicatechin: Independent analysis of batch #MK-053290 measured epicatechin (DP1 monomer) at 16.8 mg/g.

Epicatechin is one of the individual flavanol compounds included in the laboratory profile. We publish this value separately so the composition of the batch can be reviewed in more detail than a single total-flavanol percentage alone.

Measured Alkaloid Ratio

Batch #MK-053290 contained substantially more theobromine than caffeine by mass. At 5 g, the measured values correspond to a theobromine-to-caffeine ratio of approximately 7.6 : 1.

These values describe the measured alkaloid composition of the previous batch. Individual responses to naturally occurring caffeine and theobromine can vary.

Understanding Our Batch System

This Certificate of Analysis applies specifically to the previous Mindkore batch #MK-053290. The values on this page should not be assumed to apply to the upcoming batch.

When a new batch is introduced, the LOT number, laboratory report and measured composition can change because cacao is a natural agricultural product. Updated laboratory results will be published separately once testing of the new batch has been completed.
