    Comparison of extraction methods for kahweol and cafestol analysis in roasted coffee
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2013) Dias, Rafael C. E.; Faria, Adelia F. de; Mercadante, Adriana Z.; Bragagnolo, Neura; Benassi, Marta de T.
    Kahweol and cafestol, diterpenes from the unsaponifiable fraction of coffee, present known effects on human health such as anticarcinogenic and hipercholesterolemic activities. There are discrepancies regarding the levels reported for these compounds in roasted coffee, probably due to the extraction processes. Therefore, four sample preparation methods were studied: direct hot saponification (DHS), direct cold saponification (DCS); and Bligh and Dyer (BD) or Soxhlet (SO) extraction followed by saponification. The levels of diterpenes and their dehydro derivatives obtained by high performance liquid chromatography with diode array and mass spectrometry detectors (HPLC-DAD-MS/MS) and the chromatographic profiles of roasted coffee, obtained by these four methods, were compared. DHS was more efficient for extraction, showing better separation of chromatographic peaks and levels of 930.2 (± 36.8), 113.2 (± 4.7), 568.6 (± 16.6) and 87.1 (± 3.7) mg 100 g–1 for kahweol, dehydrokahweol, cafestol and dehydrocafestol, respectively. The DHS extract presented a diterpene content (kahweol and cafestol) 15% superior to that of DCS and up to 88% superior than using SO and BD methods.

    Evaluation of the metabolic profile of arabica coffee via NMR in relation to the time and temperature of the roasting procedure
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2021) Alves, Roger P.; Antoniosi Filho, Nelson R.; Lião, Luciano M.; Flores, Igor S.
    Coffee is one of the most popular and consumed products in the world, with high nutritional value and economic importance. However, some factors can change the organoleptic properties of a coffee species, without causing significant damage such as loss of important components. The present study evaluated the chemical profile, via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), of the main biological properties and substances of the drink, verifying similarities in the composition of different types of arabica coffee made in different conditions, such as the roasting time and temperature. The main components were identified, using information from the literature and a database, and compared with the experimental data of 1D and 2D ¹H NMR. The spectral data were analyzed and grouped via principal component analysis (PCA) using the Bruker Amix 3.9.14 software. ¹H NMR was able to monitor the roasting process and qualify the intact bean and chemical profile of the coffee according to the roasting conditions. Due to the importance of the monitored components, the coffee species analyzed can be identified, along with the appearance of unwanted or adulterating compounds that are normally added to the product to reduce the cost of commercialization.

    Sistematic study of benzo[a]pyrene in coffee samples
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2006) Badolato, Elza S. G.; Martins, Maristela S.; Aued-Pimentel, Sabria; Alaburda, Janete; Kumagai, Edna E.; Baptista, Gisleine G.; Rosenthal, Amaury
    A method for extracting and quantifying benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) was evaluated and improved for samples of green and roasted ground Arabica (Coffea arabica) and Conillon (Coffea canephora) Brazilian coffees. The influence of the roasting process in B[a]P formation was considered too. These samples were extracted with acetone, followed by saponification and cyclohexane extraction. The extracts were cleaned by chromatography on a silica-gel. The quantification was done by HPLC with reversed-phase and fluorescence detection under isocratic conditions. The detection and quantification limits were 0.03 μg kg-1 and 0.10 μg kg-1, respectively. The recovery ranged from 76 to 116% for concentrations between 1.00 and 3.00 μg kg-1. The values obtained for B[a]P concentrations were from 0.47 to 12.5 μg kg-1 for samples of ground roasted coffee. B[a]P was absent in the green coffee samples. The control of the roasting parameters is fundamental for obtaining a good quality product.
