theobromine sucrose ester

Tech/Engineering
Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
¡°Theobromine sucrose ester¡± is directly translated from Chinese. Is there a chemical which can be named as that?
In Chinese dictionaries, theobromine sometimes is translated as cocoa acid, sometimes as cocoa alkali. So actually is it an acid or an alkali?
TIA!!!

Chemistry of Theobromine
Chocolate's Caffeine Relative
Theobromine belongs to a class of alkaloid molecules known as methylxanthines. Methylxanthines naturally occur in as many as sixty different plant species and include caffeine (the primary methlyxanthine in coffee) and theophylline (the primary methylxanthine in tea). Theobromine is the primary methylxanthine found in products of the cocoa tree, theobroma cacao.

So according to that, it's an alkali.

: Right, cacoa is powder made from cacao seeds and theobromine is its main alkaloid (alkaline-like, the term describing any nitrogen-containing base), theobromine is soluble in boiling H2O, it is neutral,has no OH- groups but can form esters and salts
