Abstract:MICROWAVE ASSISTED SAPONIFICATION FOR DITERPENES EXTRACTION IN ROASTED ARABICA COFFEE. The extraction of kahweol and cafestol involves saponification reaction. This step is important for the efficiency of the extraction as the diterpenes are susceptible to structural changes during hydrolysis. The microwave-assisted saponification has been successfully used in different matrices, but there is no previous report of the use of this technique in the saponification of diterpenes. Therefore, the effect of microwave… Show more
