Item Evaluación de DES, FSC y SPME/CG-MS para la extracción y determinación de compuestos responsables del aroma de café tostado de Vilcabamba - Ecuador(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2016) Figueroa, Jorge G.; Vargas, Luis F.The aim of this study was to compare the usefulness of three extraction methods: solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with four different coating (PDMS, PDMS/DVB, DVB/CAR/PDMS and PA), supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide (SCF) and simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) for isolation of flavor compounds from roasted ground coffee (Coffea arabica L. var. Typica) of Vilcabamba (Ecuador). Identification and characterization of volatile compounds were achieved using gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Analysis of variance and principal components analysis was done. For the SPME method the coating material affect the amount and concentration of compounds extracted, the DVB/CAR/PDMS coating provided the most representative aroma extract (44 compounds were identified). The SCF method allowed extracting a higher amount of compounds and also their identification by GC-MS (72) that SDE (64) and SPME (57), in addition provide higher extractions. The acetic acid, caffeine, furfuryl alcohol, furfural, 5-methylfurfural, butylated hydroxytoluene and maltol were the compounds with higher concentrations found with SPME and SDE, with SCF were found higher concentration to compounds with high molecular weights (> 194 g mol-1). Preferably SPME-DVB/CAR/PDMS method should be used for a characterization of coffee aroma compounds.Item Characterization of Roasted Coffea arabica Species by the Relationship Between Caffeine and Diterpenes Contents(Instituto de Tecnologia do Paraná - Tecpar, 2020) Zanin, Rodolfo Campos; Kitzberger, Cíntia Sorane Good; Benassi, Marta de ToledoCommercial roasted and ground coffees are usually blends of Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Considering the differences in price and sensory characteristics between these two species, the identification of the presence of each species in commercial blends is of great interest. The aim of this study was to describe typical profiles of caffeine and diterpenes (kahweol and cafestol) contents and the ratios among these compounds to support the characterization of Coffea species in roasted coffees. 32 good cup quality Brazilian C. arabica coffees (from coffee quality contests) produced using different postharvest treatments were studied. All analysis were performed by HPLC. Higher ranges were observed in diterpene contents – kahweol varied from 1.75 to 10.68 g/kg (coefficient of variation of 510%) and cafestol from 1.76 to 9.66 g/kg (449%) – than caffeine, that varied from 5.1 to 16.2 g/kg (coefficient of variation of 218%). Wide ranges of the kahweol/cafestol ratio (0.63 to 2.77) and the caffeine/kahweol ratio (0.84 to 5.15) were also observed. Hence it was proposed the additional use of a new parameter, the ratio of caffeine/sum of diterpenes (kahweol + cafestol) that presents values from 0.54 to 2.39. The results indicated that the combined use of these parameters could be a potential tool for discriminating Coffea species in blends of roasted and ground coffee. It was proposed as potentially indicative of C. arabica: values of kahweol/cafestol ratio above 0.50, associated with caffeine/kahweol ratio lower than 5.50 and caffeine/sum of diterpenes ratio lower than 2.50.
