Popis:	Cocoa callus and suspension cultures were found to produce caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline which are typical of the purine alkaloids found in cocoa beans. Production of these purine alkaloids was monitored in callus cultures for over 2 years and shown to stabilize at concentrations of about 10% those found in vico. Caffeine and theoloromine were produced concomitant with log phase growth of the cultures whilst theophylline production reached a maximum during stationary phase, possible role of the latter as a catabolite of caffeine
