OBJECTIVE
The cholesterol-raising effect of boiled coffee is caused by diterpenes from coffee oil. In order to identify the diterpene responsible, we analysed the diterpene composition of oils from Arabica (Coffea arabica) and Robusta (Coffea canephora robusta) beans and their effects on serum
A reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of kahweol and cafestol in tissues of fresh fruits, leaves, and roasted coffee beans. The best resolution was obtained with isocratic elution of acetonitrile/water (55/45% v/v) and
THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (3bS,5aS,7R,8R,10aR,10bS)-7-meth-oxy-10b-methyl-3b,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10a,10b,11,12-dodeca-hydro-5a,8-methano-5aH-cyclo-hepta-l[5,6]naph-tho[2,1-b]furan-7-methanol], C(21)H(30)O(3), was isolated from the beans of Coffea robusta. The mol-ecule contains five fused
Liver regeneration was stimulated in partially hepatectomized rats fed diets supplemental with up to 7.0% by weight of ground green and roasted Brazilian or Hawaiian (Kona) coffee in a basal powdered ration but was little influenced by decaffeinated or African Robusta coffee diets over a period of
Cafestol and 16-O-methylcafestol are diterpenes present in coffee, but whilst cafestol is found in both Coffea canephora and Coffea arabica, 16-O-methylcafestol (16-OMC) was reported to be specific of only C. canephora. The interactions of such compounds, with serum albumins, have been studied.
In a randomized double-blind parallel study in 36 subjects the effect on serum cholesterol of a daily dose of 2 g lipid extracted from green Arabica and Robusta coffee beans was studied. Arabica oil elevated serum total cholesterol by 1.1 mmol/L (95% CI for the difference from placebo: 0.41, 1.73
A micro-probe (μ-probe) gas sampling device for on-line analysis of gases evolving in confined, small objects by single-photon ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SPI-TOFMS) was developed. The technique is applied for the first time in a feasibility study to record the formation of volatile
BACKGROUND
Coffee oil potently raises serum cholesterol levels in humans. The diterpenes cafestol and kahweol are responsible for this elevation. Coffee oil also causes elevation of liver enzyme levels in serum. It has been suggested that cafestol is mainly responsible for the effect on serum
Coffee diterpenes are the main constituents of the coffee oil unsaponifiable fraction. The three most important diterpenes are cafestol, kahweol, and 16-O-methylcafestol (16-OMC), and they are produced, except for cafestol, only by plants of the Coffea genus. Recently, in addition to these three
Biotic stress factors such as Rhizopus oligosporus and Aspergillus niger mycelial extracts and abiotic elements methyljasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid (SA), when administered through floral spray to Coffea canephora, showed significant influence on major bioactive metabolites of beans. Up to 42%
Lipids, including the diterpenes cafestol and kahweol, are key compounds that contribute to the quality of coffee beverages. We determined total lipid content and cafestol and kahweol concentrations in green beans and genotyped 107 Coffea arabica accessions, including wild genotypes from the
