Oil Green Coffee Beans: Diterpenes Cafestol and Kahweol

Abstract: The kaurane diterpenes cafestol and kahweol are significant chemical constituents of the green coffee oil. Studies reveal their potential as antitumor and antioxidant agents; in addition they are recognizably as being hypercholesterolemic. This review focuses on the upgrading of the research conducted on these diterpenes, mainly in biological aspects, extraction techniques and quantification procedures.

“…Além dos nutrientes, o café é rico em compostos bioativos, sendo os mais estudados: a cafeína, estimulante do sistema nervoso central (SNC) e do músculo cardíaco, os ácidos clorogênicos, que possuem atividade anticancerígena e propriedades antioxidantes, e os diterpenos [21] têm ação anti-inflamatória e antioxidante, mas em grande quantidade pode elevar o colesterol sanguíneo, se o café não for filtrado. Esses compostos são os mais estudados devido às repercussões sobre a saúde humana de seus efeitos fisiológicos.…”

“…3 Structurally, cafestol and kahweol are two entkaurene furane diterpenes that differ by one unsaturation between C1 and C2 (Figure 1). 4 Cafestol has many biological activities reported such as antioxidant, 5,6 anti-inflammatory, 7,8 anticarcinogenic activities, 9 and photoprotection capacity, 10,11 which make this substance valuable to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The procedures described in the literature for the isolation of C&K from green coffee beans involve the direct saponification of all acylated cafestol and kahweol compounds.…”
