This review summarizes published information concerning the determination of antioxidant activity (AA) in coffee samples by various methods (ORAC, FRAP, TRAP, TEAC, etc.) in vitro and limited data of antiradical activity of coffee products in vitro and in vivo. Comparison is carried out of the AA of coffee Arabica and coffee Robusta roasted at different temperatures as well as by different roas...

The data presented here are related to the research paper entitled "Transglycosylation reactions, a main mechanism of phenolics incorporation in coffee melanoidins: inhibition by Maillard reaction" (Moreira et al., 2017) [1]. Methanolysis was applied in coffee fractions to quantify glycosidically-linked phenolics in melanoidins. Moreover, model mixtures mimicking coffee beans composition were r...

Stereospecific analysis is an important tool for the characterization of lipid fraction of food products. In the present research, an approach to characterize arabica and robusta varieties by structural analysis of the triacylglycerol (TAG) fraction is reported. The lipids were Soxhlet extracted from ground roasted coffee beans with petroleum ether, and the fatty acids (FA) were determined as t...

Transesterification reactions free of catalyst between roasted chicken fat with methanol were carried out in a batch reactor in order to produce biodiesel to temperatures from 120°C to 140°C. Parameters related to the transesterification reactions, including temperature, time and the molar ratio of chicken fat to methanol also investigated. The maximum yield of the reaction was of 98% under con...

Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine degree microbial contamination aqueous extracts green and roasted coffee originating in India. samples used this analysis were obtained by two extraction methods: hot cold extraction. If a load found, same filtered using sterile 0.22 μm pore size filters from PES (Polyester) for decontamination. working methodology based on Standard SR EN I...

The aim of the study was to evaluate factors involved in tooth surface loss due to consumption of dried-roasted seeds. Data of tooth surface loss were collected from a group of 141 patients by clinical examination, interview and by getting the questionnaire regarding dietary factors, oral hygiene practices and pregnancy (for women) filled. No significant differences in tooth surface loss were f...

INTRODUCTION Seasonal ataxia is a clinical syndrome of acute cerebellar ataxia which follows ingestion of roasted larvae of Anaphe venata Butler, an alternative protein source consumed in western Nigeria. It was first reported in the 1950s in western Nigeria when it caused a wave of epidemics. This is the first case report of this condition in the literature since 1993. CASE REPORT We present...
