Item Compostos bioativos do café: atividade antioxidante in vitro do café verde e torrado antes e após a descafeinação(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2010) Lima, Adriene Ribeiro; Pereira, Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga; Abrahão, Sheila Andrade; Duarte, Stella Maris da Silveira; Paula, Fernanda Borges de AraújoThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of coffee decaffeination with dichloromethane on the in vitro antioxidant activity of this matrix. It were determined the content of total phenolics, chlorogenic acid and caffeine of the coffee samples. The assessment of the antioxidant potential was investigated by DPPH radical scavenging method, reducer power and Fe2+ chelation activity. The process of decaffeination and roasting caused changes in the levels of the compounds investigated. The results show that the decaffeination by the dichloromethane method reduces the in vitro antioxidant potential of coffee.Item Main minerals and organic compounds in commercial roasted and ground coffee: an exploratory data analysis(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2021) Kalschnea, Daneysa Lahis; Silva, Nathalia Karen; Canan, Cristiane; Benassi, Marta de Toledo; Flores, Eder Lisandro Moraes; Leite, Oldair DonizeteCoffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, however, little information is found regarding the mineral composition of commercial roasted and ground coffees (RG) and its correlation with organic bioactive compounds. 21 commercial Brazilian RG coffee brands - 9 traditional (T) and 12 extra strong (ES) roasted ones - were analyzed for the Cu, Ca, Mn, Mg, K, Zn, and Fe minerals, caffeine, 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) and melanoidins contents. For minerals determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), the samples were decomposed by microwave-assisted wet digestion. Caffeine and 5-CQA were determined by liquid chromatography and melanoidins by molecular absorption spectrometry. The minerals and organic compounds contents association in RG coffee was observed by a principal component analysis. The thermostable compounds (minerals and caffeine) were related to dimension 1 and 2, while 5-CQA and melanoidins were related to dimension 3, allowing for the T coffees segmentation from ES ones.Item Correlação entre precursores e voláteis em café arábica brasileiro processado pelas vias seca, semiúmida e úmida e discriminação através da análise por componentes principais(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2012) Arruda, Neusa P.; Hovell, Ana M. C.; Rezende, Claudia M.; Freitas, Suely P.; Couri, Sonia; Bizzo, Humberto R.The influence of pre processing of arabica coffee beans on the composition of volatile precursors including sugars, chlorogenic acids, phenolics, proteins, aminoacids, trigonelline and fatty acids was assessed and correlated with volatiles formed during roasting. Reducing sugars and free aminoacids were highest for natural coffees whereas total sugars, chlorogenic acids and trigonelline were highest for washed coffees. The highest correlation was observed for total phenolics and volatile phenolics (R= 0.999). Experimental data were evaluated by Principal Components Analysis and results showed that washed coffees formed a distinct group in relation to semi-washed and natural coffees.Item 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.Item Compostos bioativos e atividade antioxidante do café conilon submetido a diferentes graus de torra(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2009) Morais, Sérgio Antônio Lemos de; Aquino, Francisco José Tôrres de; Nascimento, Priscilla Mendes do; Nascimento, Evandro Afonso do; Chang, RobertoThe bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity presented by Conilon coffee (C. Canephora) variety, produced in the Espírito Santo State, Brazil, were quantified. The light roast coffee showed the highest level of total phenols, trigonelline, caffeic and chlorogenic acids. The proanthocyanidin level was the highest for dark roast coffee, while caffeine level didn't show significative changes for the light and middle roast coffees. All the Conilon coffee extracts showed antioxidant activity depending on bioactive compounds concentration and roasting degree. The coffee samples submitted to a light roasting degree showed the highest antioxidant activity.Item 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 PaivaThe 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.
