Changing lifestyles and environment have led to a great change in the health profile of the human population. Higher stress levels among individuals, sedentary lifestyle and deficient diets have increased the onset of degenerative diseases like cancer, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. One of the common pathways by which the causative factors initiate or promote the diseases in the human system is through the generation of free radicals. The treatment for these diseases, in the above perspective, target at quenching free radicals to prevent further complications besides facilitating cure.References

Judelson quotes that taking a look at the foods we eat is like taking a look inside our heart. To have a normal blood lipid profile is important, hence a lot of efforts should be taken to identify foods and other factors which would help us to reduce high level of lipid and also lead a comfortable and happy life. Com oil has been used extensively in studying the relationship of dietary fat to blood cholesterol levels.- Book Review

Cocoa has polyphenolic compounds, such as procyanidin monomers, that includes catechin and epicatechin. In the present study fatty acid composition and unique phytochemicals in cocoa based homemade chocolate were assessed in the highly accepted developed product and standard product. The nutrients like carbohydrate, fat and calcium content of standard homemade chocolate has shown reduction as the proportion of cocoa liquor increases viz. 50% (52.2 g, 42.6 g, 38.2 mg) 60% (16.2 g, 15.9 g, 15.4 mg) and 70% (7 g, 5.4 g, 4 mg) respectively. The other nutrients like protein, fiber, iron, potassium and magnesium contents increased as the proportion of cocoa powder/liquor increases than the standard homemade chocolate. Fatty acids like stearic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acids were present in the developed products. The phytochemical, catechin content in Standard Home Made Chocolates (SHMC) was 5.2 mg whereas the (Developed Home Made Chocolate) DHMC had 7.1 mg. Hence the developed product is proven to be rich in phytochemicals as well as various essential nutrients and can be recommended in regular diets.
