Determination of Caffeine Content and Antioxidant Activity of Coffee

Abstract: Attempt has been made to look into caffeine contents and antioxidant activity of coffee grown at Wembera, Goncha, Zegie, and Burie localities of North-West Ethiopia. The caffeine content of the extracts in % w/w has been found to be 1.53 ± 0.003 for Wembera coffee, 1.41 ± 0.040 for Goncha coffee, 1.29 ± 0.033 for Zegie coffee and 0.97 ± 0.049 for Burie coffee. The antioxidant activities of the coffee extracts were measured by using ferric reducing power assay and Rancimat assay. Ferric reducing power assay was… Show more

“…The results obtained using the three newly developed methods are comparable with the results obtained using UV/Vis spectrophotometry [1] and HPLC [9, 10] from literature (Table 3). This was further confirmed by applying t test to compare the means of the three newly developed methods with the mean of caffeine obtained by using UV/Vis spectrophotometry for the same coffee sample.…”
