Prevalence of spoilage mold in coffee before and after brewing

Abstract: Commercial ground coffee must be safe for consumption and comply with the regulation applied in a country. However, the risk of the occurrence of spoilage molds in commercial ground coffee, particularly toxigenic mold originated from coffee cherries or green beans, is still a major concern of the coffee industry. This study evaluated the prevalence of spoilage mold in fifteen brands of commercial ground coffee. The spoilage molds were also determined after traditional brewing (non-filtration brewing). The mold… Show more

“…The mould contamination can occur on coffee beans as a result of improper processing during harvesting, drying, and inadequate storage conditions. Even though the roasting temperature of coffee beans can eliminate the mould contaminant, however, some spores are not entirely eliminated and would be carried over in coffee products (Kusumaningrum and Rasyidah, 2019). Test results showed that the total plate count decreased from the initial 1.2 x 10 3 to be 1.7 x 10 2 CFU/g at the end of 12 months storage for the ground roasted coffee packaged in ALP.…”

“…The mixture was shaken once after 18 h of the initial culture and then shaken again after 24 h. Culture was completed after 48 h, at which time many spores were formed. Sterilized water (100 mL) was added, the mycelia were scattered with sterilized glass beads, and the spore suspension was obtained by filtering through sterilized double-layer gauze [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…Plastic bags provide a barrier against moisture and external contaminants, reducing the risk of aflatoxin contamination to some extent. However, if the beans are not properly dried before storage or if moisture accumulates inside the bags, there is still a possibility of aflatoxin contamination in plastic bag-stored coffee beans [10,11]. Apart from storing it in the form of green beans, farmers generally also store it in the form of roasted beans and powder.…”

“…Roasted coffee beans, due to their lower moisture content and the higher temperatures involved in the roasting process, are generally less susceptible to aflatoxin contamination compared to green beans. However, it is still important to ensure proper storage conditions for roasted beans to prevent any potential aflatoxin contamination [11]. The maximum of aflatoxin contamination is regulated by international agencies, such as the European Food Safety Authority, to ensure food safety and protect consumers.…”
