“…Regarding the sucrose content, there was no significant difference between treatments with the values ranging from 7.38 to 9.02%. Similar observation was reported by Knopp et al (2006) who noted that sucrose and other low molecular weight sugars are not affected by the wet and dry processing of coffee cherries. It could be expected that the processes which use fermentation and excess water during washing loss the sucrose through leaching but no significant loss was observed in the methods studied.…”

“…It could be expected that the processes which use fermentation and excess water during washing loss the sucrose through leaching but no significant loss was observed in the methods studied. Some literature indicates that only soluble sugars such as glucose and fructose may be loss to the processing water and not the non-reducing sugars such as sucrose (Knopp et al, 2006). This is also supported by the report that metabolic processes occurring at the start of drying takes a short period and mainly affects the reducing sugars such as glucose and fructose and sucrose remains intact as a storage compound (Kleinwachter and Selmar, 2010).…”

The study aimed at comparing the effects of three coffee pulping methods on the physico-chemical properties and sensory qualities of coffee. The coffee cherries were processed by disc pulper, drum pulper and eco-pulper methods which varied on mode of operations and mucilage removal methods. The coffee parchment were dried to moisture content of 10 ± 1% and green coffee beans were evaluated for parameters including moisture content, mass, volume, density, pH, titratable acidity, protein, sucrose and lipids content of green coffee beans. The parameters such as moisture, mass, volume and density were determined by actual measurements. Protein was determined by Kjeldhal method, lipids were extracted by Soxhlet method and sucrose extracted and determined by HPLC. The pH showed some significant difference (p<0.05) between the treatments. There was no significant difference on other parameters such as mass, volume, density and titratable acidity, protein, lipids and sucrose. The processing methods showed similar levels on the scores of sensory attributes analyzed by qualified panelist and the scores varied between 7.0-10. The final quality was not significantly different between the processing methods and no defects and faults noted in the samples. It was concluded that the three processing methods do not vary on the levels of physico-chemical components of coffee and gives similar characteristics on sensory attributes and final quality of coffee beverage.

“…A composição química do café beneficiado grão cru depende da forma de processamento utilizada (KNOPP et al, 2006;BORÉM, 2008), apresentando características distintas na qualidade. De forma geral, os cafés naturais originam bebidas mais encorpadas e doces, em relação aos cafés despolpados, os quais possuem acidez mais desejável (SANTOS; CHALFOUN; PIMENTA, 2009).…”

“…The content of low molecular weight sugars was investigated in green Arabica coffee beans which were obtained after flesh of the berries was separated from the seeds by wet or dry methods (Knopp, Bytof & Selmar, 2006). Low content of fructose and glucose was noted in washed coffee beans (wet method).…”

Coffee has been one of the most commercialized food products and most widely researched beverage in the world for decades. It is considered a functional food, primarily due to its high content of compounds that exert antioxidant and other beneficial biological properties. This review summarized the data from analysis of coffee components, both volatile constituents and non-volatile high-molecular weight compounds performed by various chromatographic methods. A list of compounds identified by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry which define the aroma of coffee is provided. Publications on the measurement of methylxanthines (caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline), chlorogenic acids, diterpenes, sugars, amino acids, gamma-aminobutyric acid, dibasic acids, anions, and other compounds by HPLC and UHPLC-MS are reviewed. An overview of publications on the determination of organic contamination in coffee (PAHs, acrylamides, mycotoxins, etc.) and ways to reduce contamination through production technology and brewing methods are presented. Finally, an overview of the literature on authentication assessment for different grades of coffee grown in different regions is provided.
