Background Flavanols and procyanidins are complex bioactives found in many foods such as cocoa. As their consumption is associated with health benefits, cocoa flavanols and procyanidins are receiving increasing attention from consumers, industry, researchers, and regulators. Objective The objective of this study is to validate a method using hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with fluorescence detection (FLD) and a commercially available reference material for the determination of flavanols and procyanidins (CF) in cocoa-based products. Methods Method performances were evaluated for cocoa matrices with CF content that ranged from 0.8 to 500 mg/g, which included low CF matrices (milk and dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and liquor) and high CF matrices (cocoa extract and dietary supplement products). The method was validated in a single-laboratory by determining sensitivity, selectivity, linearity, stability, robustness, accuracy, and precision for each of the matrices. Results The method was validated for cocoa matrices with CF content that ranged from 0.8 to 500 mg/g. Accuracy ranged from 86 to 99% and repeatability (RSDr) from 1.5 to 8.6% for CF. Conclusions Analytical performances acquired through this single-laboratory validation study for a wide range of cocoa-based matrices demonstrate that this method is fit-for-purpose for the determination of flavanols and procyanidins in cocoa-based products. Highlights Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with fluorescence detection was successfully used to determine total CF content in multiple product types. Single-laboratory method validation results demonstrate that the method is fit for purpose for cocoa-based matrices containing &amp;lt;0.8 to 500 mg/g of CF.
