    Chemometrics is a subfield of chemistry that emerged from advances in analytical instrumentation and computing. When seeking to solve chemical problems that depend on many concomitants experimental variables, chemometrics can be employed in order to extract as much information as possible in the least possible number of experiments. In addition, it is possible to evaluate the important effects and interactions among the variables to understand the processes being monitored in each system. In this sense, this article aimed to develop a didactic experiment of caffeine extraction using an espresso machine, applying the 25-1 fractional factorial design. The variables studied were temperature (75 and 78 °C), pressure (2 and 15 bar), granulation (bean and ground), type of coffee (special and traditional) and period of the day (morning and afternoon) to obtain maximum extraction of caffeine. The coffee extracts obtained were analyzed using UV-Vis molecular absorption spectrophotometry. The developed experiment showed the potential to spread the application of chemometrics in the academic environment and to facilitate the teaching of fractional factorial design.

    Kinetic parameters study for the slow pyrolysis of coffee residues based on thermogravimetric analysis
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2020) Tibola, Fernando L.; Oliveira, Tiago J. P. de; Cerqueira, Daniel A.; Ataíde, Carlos H.; Cardoso, Cássia R.
    Thermal decomposition of coffee husks was investigated by thermogravimetric analyses. The proximate, ultimate and composition analyses were performed. Thermogravimetric tests were realized, the material was heated to 1173 K using five heating rates: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 K min-1. The kinetic parameters were estimated using the methods of Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose and Friedman, the distributed activation energy model and the independent parallel reactions model. The isoconversional models of Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose and Friedman showed the dependence between determined values of activation energy and mass conversion, the activation energy values varied from 1437.39 to 199.22 kJ mol-1 for Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose and from 127.81 to 230.35 kJ mol-1 for Friedman model. The values of activation energy were determined for Miura-Maki method; varying from 137.39 to 199.22 kJ mol-1. The model of parallel and independent reactions showed the presence of six different reactions (with activation energy values varying from 42.0 to 214.2 kJ mol-1) occurring during coffee husks pyrolysis, indicating a complex reaction. Currently, works regarding the determination of kinetic parameters for coffee husks pyrolysis are not common. The present work is the first report using the model of parallel and independent reactions to estimate kinetic parameters for pyrolysis of coffee husks, a residue widely generated worldwide.
