Antioxidant Activity and Cytotoxicity Effect of Cocoa Beans Subjected to Different Processing Conditions in Human Lung Carcinoma Cells

Figure 5

The effect of unroasted well fermented cocoa and roasted slates on the process of programmed death in A549 cells after treatment for 48 h. (a) Flow cytometry analysis of UWF cocoa and RS according to the exposure time and concentration of the compounds. (b) Quantitative effects of UWF cocoa and RS at 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL on A549 cells after exposure for 48 h. The results are expressed as mean ± SD, with significant differences between untreated cells (CT) and cells treated with UWF cocoa and RS (5–10 mg/mL) compared by 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test. . .
