چکیده
The aim of this work was to monitor the changes both in the composition and in some sensory parameters of Colombian Arabica coffee brews stored at room and refrigeration temperatures, with and without oxygen. Some nonvolatile compounds related to the taste of coffee brews were determined, in an attempt to study possible relationships between chemical and sensory changes. Storage time hardly affects the amounts of chlorogenic, caffeic and ferulic acids, reported to have some beneficial health effects, mainly due to their antioxidant activities. In contrast, pH decreases in all the coffee brews along the time, mainly in that stored at 25oC with oxygen. The appearance of sourness and other non typical coffee tastes (rancid taste, aftertaste) and an increase in astringency leads to establish a shelf-life of 10 days for coffee brews stored at 25oC with oxygen, 15 days for coffee brews stored at 4oC with oxygen and at 25oC without oxygen, and 20 days for coffee brews stored at 4oC without oxygen. The behaviour of 5-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid and 4-vinylguaiacol throughout time was different from other studies conducted at higher temperatures to accelerate the staling, what reveals that stability studies of coffee brews should be made in real time and temperature.

Application of multivariate analysis to the effects of additives on chemical and sensory quality of stored coffee brew.
The aim of this work was to obtain a black coffee brew to be consumed hot by extension of its shelf life, by addition of additives. Four pH-regulator agents (sodium and potassium carbonates and bicarbonates), one pH regulator and antioxidant (sodium citrate), three antioxidants [sodium ascorbate, ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA), and sodium sulfite], and lactoserum were tested by sensory a...
متن کاملBioactive composition and antioxidant potential of different commonly consumed coffee brews affected by their preparation technique and milk addition.
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, prepared and consumed in many different ways. Taste, aroma and composition of the coffee brew vary depending on the preparation method. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of different brewing methods on the polyphenol and methylxanthine composition and antioxidant capacity of thirteen different coffee brews. The content of tot...
متن کاملThe occurrence of ochratoxin A in coffee.
Ochratoxin A (OA) is a nephrotoxic and nephrocarcinogenic mycotoxin which is predominantly produced by the two ubiquitous fungal genera, Aspergillus and Penicillium. OA is found in foodstuffs, predominantly in cereals but also in coffee beans. Inconsistent results have been published regarding the influence of roasting on the OA content in roasted beans and the transfer into the coffee brew. In...
متن کاملSynthesis and structure determination of covalent conjugates formed from the sulfury-roasty-smelling 2-furfurylthiol and di- or trihydroxybenzenes and their identification in coffee brew.
Recent investigations demonstrated that the reaction of odor-active thiols such as 2-furfurylthiol with thermally generated chlorogenic acid degradation products is responsible for the rapid aroma staling of coffee beverages. To get a clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this aroma staling, the existence of putative phenol/thiol conjugates needs to be verified in coffee. T...
