Item Teores de trigonelina, ácido 5-cafeoilquínico, cafeína e melanoidinas em cafés solúveis comerciais brasileiros(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2013) Marcucci, Carolina Tolentino; Benassi, Marta de Toledo; Almeida, Mariana Bortholazzi; Nixdorf, Suzana LucyCommercial Brazilian regular and decaffeinated instant coffees (33 brands) were studied. The levels ranged from 0.47 to 2.15 g 100 g-1 for trigonelline, 0.38 to 2.66 g 100 g-1 for 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), 0.24 to 4.08 g 100 g-1 for caffeine, and 0.253 to 0.476 (420 nm) for melanoidins. Variations in bioactive compound levels among batches were observed. There was no relationship between the drying process and the composition of the products. In general, Gourmet and decaffeinated coffees had higher trigonelline and 5-CQA but lower caffeine and melanoidin content than regular products.Item Método para determinação de carboidratos empregado na triagem de adulterações em café(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2011) Pauli, Elis Daiane; Cristiano, Valderi; Nixdorf, Suzana LucyThe objective in this work was to validate a chromatography method for the determination of total carbohydrates in soluble coffee, using a HPLC-UV-VIS with postcolumn derivatization system, in order to verify adulterant additions. The validated method was accurate and robust. Adulteration could be observed by increasing xylose and glucose levels in samples with addition of coffee husks and starchy products while decreasing of galactose and mannose characteristic carbohydrates presenting in high concentration in soluble coffees produced by arabica and robusta coffee beans.
