“…Theobromine is used as a marker of cacao in organic residues studies of ceramics from Mesoamerica because T. cacao is the only Mesoamerican plant that contains theobromine as the primary methylxanthine. HPLC coupled to MS has previously revealed cacao residues in ceramics vessels from sites in Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras (10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…The extracts are made by using a 3:1 mixture of acetone and water. 21 Approximately 400 mg of ground pottery is added to 5 ml of solution and allowed to sit at room 22 temperature for 72 hours. We previously reported the detailed REMPI spectra of all three molecular markers 44 , identifying 7 unique resonances for the selective ionization of each of the markers.…”

“…Other biomarkers are present in a limited group of potential sources and can be used to identify specific foods in the presence of corroborating archaeological evidence. Examples of this type of biomarkers are tartaric acid in fruit, which can be attributed to wine [3,52], or theobromine and caffeine, which can be attributed to chocolate [36,42,43]. Biomarkers unique to a specific foodstuff are rarer, and knowledge of them at present is largely confined to tree resins and substances such as nicotine in tobacco [4,3,14,21,22,33,36,[41][42][43]53].…”
