    Ambient mass spectrometry employed for direct analysis of intact arabica coffee beans
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2014) Garrett, Rafael; Schwab, Nicolas V.; Cabral, Elaine C.; Henrique, Brenno V. M.; Ifa, Demian R.; Eberlin, Marcos N.; Rezende, Claudia M.
    The ambient ionization mass spectrometry techniques: desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and easy ambient sonic-spray ionization (EASI) were explored as fast and simple ways to directly analyze the surface of intact green Arabica coffee beans treated by the dry, semi-dry and wet post-harvest methods. Five compounds were identified, including three components of the waxy layer that covers the green coffee beans (β N-arachinoyl-5-hydroxytryptamide, β N-behenoyl5-hydroxytryptamide, and β N-lignoceroyl-5-hydroxytryptamide) and that are commonly related to related to stomach irritations caused by coffee beverage consumption in sensitive people. Moreover, the multivariate statistical tool principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to differentiate the coffee post-harvest methods using data from the mass spectrometry fingerprinting analyses. Extraction procedures or sample pretreatment steps were not required for DESI and EASI analyses and the results obtained suggest therefore that these techniques could be used for rapid quality control and certification processes of coffees samples.

    Green and roasted arabica coffees differentiated by ripeness, process and cup quality via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry fingerprinting
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2009) Amorim, Ana Carolina L.; Hovell, Ana Maria C.; Pinto, Angelo C.; Eberlin, Marcos N.; Arruda, Neusa P.; Pereira, Elenilda J.; Bizzo, Humberto R.; Catharino, Rodrigo R.; Morais Filho, Zenildo B.; Rezende, Claudia M.
    Direct infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in both the negative ESI(-)-MS and positive ESI(+)-MS ion modes are investigated to differentiate green and roasted Arabica coffees with different stages of ripeness (green, ripe and overripe), post-harvesting process (dry, wet and semi-wet) and coffees with diferente cup qualities. In the ESI(-)-MS of green coffees, ions from deprotonated fatty acids and chlorogenic acids are the most important for ripeness discrimination. In the ESI(+)-MS, maturity is differentiated by ions from protonated caffeine, chlorogenic acids and K+ adducts of fatty acids. To differentiate between post-harvesting process in both ionization modes, ions from fatty acids, chlorogenic acids, sugars and carboxylic acids generated in the fermentation process are the most representative. Roasted Arabica coffees are also well discriminated: in the ESI(-)-MS, ions from chlorogenic acids and short-chain organic acids derived from sugars are important. In the ESI(+)-MS, discrimination are mainly performed by low m/z ions such as protonated pyridine and alkylpiridines formed via trigonelline degradation. Both ESI(+)-MS and ESI(-)-MS are able to differentiate cup quality for Arabica roasted coffees and the ions used to perform discrimination are the same ones described in ripeness and post-harvesting processes.

    Brazilian roasted coffee oil obtained by mechanical expelling: compositional analysis by GC-MS
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos, 2005-10) Oliveira, Alessandra L. de; Cruz, Paulo Marcio; Eberlin, Marcos N.; Cabral, Fernando A.
    Análise preliminar utilizando GC-MS através da comparação dos espectros de massas dos compostos com aqueles da base de dados Wiley 275 L foi feita para identificar ácidos graxos e principalmente componentes voláteis responsáveis pelo aroma e odor do óleo de café torrado. O óleo foi obtido por prensagem dos grãos de café brasileiro (Coffea arabica), torrado a 238 o C por 10 min. Diferentes metodologias de preparo de amostra como “headspace”, adsorção por sucção em armadilha com polímero e esterificação foram usadas. Foi possível identificar pirazinas, piridinas, derivados de furanos e outros componentes ainda não apresentados na literatura.
