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.Item Effect of processing and roasting 1 on the antioxidant activity of coffee brews(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos, 2005-04) Duarte, Stella Maris da Silveira; Abreu, Celeste Maria Patto de; Menezes, Hilary Castle de; Santos, Marcelo Henrique dos; Gouvêa, Cibele Marli Cação PaivaThe aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of processing and roasting on the antioxidant activity of coffee brews. Brews prepared with light, medium and dark roasted coffees were analyzed. The pH, total solids content, polyphenols content, reducing substances and chlorogenic acids content were determined. The antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts, the guaicol decolorizing and the capacity to inhibit lipid peroxidation were also analyzed. The antioxidant activity of coffee brews were concentration- dependent. A progressive antioxidant activity and polyphenols content was observed decreasing with roasting. The light roasted coffee showed the highest antioxidant activity and dark roasted coffee showed the lowest antioxidant activity. The results indicate that the ingestion of coffee brews prepared with light and medium roasted coffees might protect cells from oxidative stress damages.
