    Discriminação entre estádios de maturação e tipos de processamento de pós-colheita de cafés arábica por microextração em fase sólida e análise de componentes principais
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2011) Arruda, Neusa P.; Hovell, Ana M. C.; Rezende, Claudia M.; Freitas, Suely P.; Couri, Sonia; Bizzo, Humberto R.
    A fruit chemical composition reflects its maturation stage. For coffee, it is also the reflex of the post harvesting processing type, dry, semi-wet and wet. The object of this work was to verify if headspace solid phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography (HS-SPME-GC) could be used to discriminate between samples harvested in different maturation stages and treated by different processes. With application of principal component analysis to the area of 117 compounds extracted by SPME, using divinylbenzene/Carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber, it was possible to discriminate, in the roasted and ground coffee, the maturity stage and processing type used.

    Influência do processamento e da torrefação sobre a atividade antioxidante do café (Coffea arabica)
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2007) Santos, Marcelo Henrique dos; Batista, Bruno Lemos; Duarte, Stella Maris da Silveira; Abreu, Celeste Maria Patto de; Gouvêa, Cibele Marli Cação Paiva
    The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of processing (semi-dry and dry) and roasting (light, medium and dark) on the antioxidant activity of coffee brews, using tests to determine the reducing power and the DPPH scavenging, Fe+2 chelating and lipid peroxidation inhibition activities. All of the coffee brews presented concentration-dependent antioxidant activity. The light coffee samples presented the higher reducing power and DPPH scavenging activity. Its ion chelating capacity was similar to the medium samples, but was less than the green coffee chelating capacity. The semi-dry processing was more efficient than the dry processing only for the reducing power. All of the samples presented high lipid peroxidation inhibition activity. Based on the results the degree of coffee roasting seems to be more important than the processing to determine the antioxidant activity of brews.
