    Cold coffee beverages extracted by cold and hot methods: composition and sensory acceptance by youngers
    (Editora UFLA, 2021) Violin, João Leonardo; Acre, Lucas Bonfanti; Francisco, Julyene Silva; Mori, André Luiz Buzzo; Benassi, Marta de Toledo
    Brazil is the second largest coffee consumer in the world, however, the participation of the young public in this market is not very expressive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of non-sensory (packaging color, information, and images) and brewing methods (hot or cold extraction) on the acceptance of cold coffee beverages by young consumers. A coffee:water ratio of 1:10 (w:v) and infusion during 4 min and 24 h was used for both hot and cold extractions, respectively. Hot extraction was performed at 95 °C, then cooled in a refrigerator and served at 6 to 10 °C, the same temperature that the cold extraction was performed and served. The beverages were characterized by composition and extraction yield. The packaging of the beverages was designed aiming to appeal to the young Brazilian public (15 to 24 years old), and it was used for the Expectation Evaluation. The type of extraction (hot or cold) produced beverages with differences in composition but with similar acceptance. Except for pH (average value of 5.1), the beverages differed in all the studied parameters. Hot-extracted beverages (iced coffees) had higher contents of caffeine, chlorogenic acids, and melanoidins (92.9, 258.2, and 360.8∙10-6 kg 100 mL-1, respectively); they also presented higher acidity (3.4 mL of NaOH 20 mL-1) as well as higher yield compared to the cold-extracted beverages (cold brews). The use on product labels of brown and black colors, coffee bean images, and the inclusion of information regarding the bever ages (extraction method, consumption temperature, non-addition of sugar) generated a positive expectation that was assimilated by the young public. In conclusion, both proposals of cold coffee beverages (by hot or cold extraction) were well accepted considering their sensory and non-sensory aspects.

    Saponificação assistida por micro-ondas na extração de diterpenos em café arábica torrado
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2017) Bianchin, Mirelli; Yamashita, Fabio; Benassi, Marta de Toledo
    The extraction of kahweol and cafestol involves saponification reaction. This step is important for the efficiency of the extraction as the diterpenes are susceptible to structural changes during hydrolysis. The microwave-assisted saponification has been successfully used in different matrices, but there is no previous report of the use of this technique in the saponification of diterpenes. Therefore, the effect of microwave-assisted saponification on the extraction of kahweol and cafestol in roasted coffee was evaluated. A 32 factorial experimental design was used in order to evaluate the effect of temperature (70, 80, and 90 ºC) and reaction time (4, 8, and 12 min). The quantification of diterpenes was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography and the results were compared to with those obtained by a method, which uses thermostatic bath for saponification. Temperature and time had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on diterpenes levels. For simultaneous saponification of kahweol and cafestol, the optimal reaction conditions were 80 ºC / 12 min. The use of microwave-assisted procedure lead to lower yields of kahweol (24%) and cafestol (35%) compared to reference method. However a significant reduction of reaction time (80%) was achieved, and the procedure also has the advantage of controlled process conditions and the possibility of extended scale.

    Metodologia para análise simultânea de ácido nicotínico, trigonelina, ácido clorogênico e cafeína em café torrado por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2006) Alves, Sandriel Trindade; Dias, Rafael Carlos Eloy; Benassi, Marta de Toledo; Scholz, Maria Brígida dos Santos
    A reverse phase liquid chromatography method was developed for simultaneous determination of trigonelline, caffeine, nicotinic and chlorogenic (5-CQA) acids in roasted coffee. A gradient of acetic acid/acetonitrile was used as mobile phase and detection was carried out in the UV. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile/water (5:95 v/v) at 80 ºC/10 min. Good recovery (89 to 104%), repeatability and linearity were obtained. Detection limits of 0.01, 0.15, 0.04 and 0.04 mg mL-1 were observed for nicotinic acid, trigonelline, 5-CQA and caffeine. The method, applied to arabica and robusta coffees with different degrees of roasting, was efficient and fast (~35 min) and also allowed identification of cinnamic acids.

    Kahweol and cafestol in coffee brews: comparison of preparation methods
    (Universidade Federal do Ceará, 2020) Wuerges, Karla Leticia; Dias, Rafael Carlos Eloy; Viegas, Marcelo Caldeira; Benassi, Marta de Toledo
    The profile of bioactive compounds in coffee brews depends on the coffee bean species and varieties, harvesting and post-harvesting practices, roasting processes, and also on the brewing method. The present research aimed to study the contents of cafestol and kahweol - coffee diterpenes with a known impact on human health – comparing coffee beverages prepared using common brewing methods (filtered, espresso, and instant coffee brews). Filtered (cloth-filtered and paper-filtered), espresso and instant brews were obtained from a medium-roasted Coffea arabica coffee (NY 2). Five genuine replicates of each coffee brew were prepared, and the extracts were lyophilized. A validated UPLC-based method provided the content of diterpenes. The results were reported in mg of diterpene per g of solids or per a standard dose of 50 mL of coffee brew. Solids content of coffee brews ranged from 2.06 to 2.46 g 100 mL-1. All coffee brews presented low diterpene contents: 0.05 to 0.16 mg of kahweol and 0.11 to 0.14 mg of cafestol 50 mL-1. Instant coffee brew showed the lowest content of kahweol and absence of cafestol; this reduction was related to the production process of soluble coffee. Diterpenes content was similar in espresso and paper-filtered brews. The cloth-filtered coffee had lower solids content, but higher levels of diterpenes (in mg g-1 of solids). Similar cafestol and kahweol contents (mg 50 mL-1) were observed in filtered and espresso brews.

    Composição química de cafés árabica de cultivares tradicionais e modernas
    (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - Embrapa, 2013-11) Kitzberger, Cíntia Sorane Good; Scholz, Maria Brígida dos Santos; Pereira, Luiz Filipe Protasio; Benassi, Marta de Toledo
    O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da diversidade genética sobre a composição química de cultivares modernas e tradicionais de café arábica brasileiro. Cultivares tradicionais (Bourbon, Catuaí e Icatu) e modernas (Iapar 59, IPR 98, IPR 99 e IPR 103) foram cultivadas nas mesmas condições edafoclimáticas e submetidas a tratamentos pós‐colheita padronizados. Determinaram-se os teores de sacarose, açúcares redutores, ácidos orgânicos (quínico, málico e cítrico), compostos fenólicos totais, ácido 5‐cafeoilquínico, compostos nitrogenados (proteína, trigonelina e cafeína), lipídeos totais, cafestol e caveol. A diversidade genética confere variabilidade à composição do café e permite a discriminação entre cultivares tradicionais e modernas. As cultivares modernas apresentam maior teor de ácidos málico e 5‐cafeoilquínico, lipídeos totais, caveol e trigonelina. Os parâmetros caveol e a relação caveol/ cafestol são propostos como discriminadores entre cultivares modernas e tradicionais, uma vez que a introgressão de genes de Coffea canephora aumenta os teores de caveol e os valores da relação caveol/cafestol.

    Discrimination of coffee species using kahweol and cafestol: effects of roasting and of defects
    (Editora UFLA, 2010-01) Campanha, Fernanda Gonçalves; Dias, Rafael Carlos Eloy; Benassi, Marta de Toledo
    The two most commercialized coffee species worldwide are: Coffea arabica L. (arabica) and Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner (robusta). Since these coffees differ in their commercial value and acceptability, adulteration and mislabeling are major concerns. The diterpenes kahweol and cafestol are considered potential indicators of conilon coffee addition, as they are present in different contents in the species. The degree of roasting and the presence of defective beans may affect the theor of several coffee constituents. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possibility of discriminating the coffee species arabica and robusta through their kahweol and cafestol contents. Samples of arabica, robusta, and of their blends, with different amounts of defects and degrees of roasting (light, medium and dark) were studied. After direct saponification and extraction with terc-butyl methyl ether, the samples were analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection. The kahweol content varied between 661 and 923 mg/100 g in the arabica coffee, and its presence was not observed in the conilon. Cafestol ranged from 360 to 478 mg in arabica, and from 163 to 275 mg/100 g in conilon coffee. The addition of conilon coffee reduced diterpene contents, but this effect varied according to the amount of defects and roasting degrees. A higher intensity roast did not affect diterpene degradation. No differences in the kahweol and cafestol levels, comparing defective or regular beans, were observed. In the analysis of coffee samples with different degrees of roasting and defects, the parameters kahweol and cafestol showed potential for discriminating between the species.
