trans-Resveratrol and trans-piceid were recently discovered in chocolate. In the present work, both were quantified by RP-HPLC-APCI(þ)-MS/MS in 22 cocoa liquors from 11 different countries. A very large range of concentrations was observed for trans-piceid. The most concentrated sample Arriba 06) reached 0.4 and 2.6 mg/kg of trans-resveratrol and trans-piceid, respectively, but in other cultivars stilbene levels were five times lower. Neither cis-resveratrol nor cis-piceid was found in cocoa liquors. An unknown compound eluting 0.5 min before trans-piceid and present at concentrations up to 0.8 mg/kg of trans-piceid equivalents in cocoa liquors was tentatively identified by HRMS as a trans-piceid-like hexoside.
