Assessment the Effects of Roasted and Non-Roasted Coffee Extracts on Colon Cancer Cells.

Coffee extracts contain numerous bioactive compounds. Given the dietary link between coffee consumption and colorectal cancer, this study compared the effects of roasted and green (unroasted) coffee extracts on human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116) and non-cancerous fibroblasts (BJ-5ta) to evaluate how processing influences proliferation and molecular signaling. Real-time cell analysis (RTCA), qRT-PCR, and label-free quantitative proteomic analysis were performed to assess cellular responses. MTS and RTCA showed that in BJ-5Ta fibroblasts, coffee extracts increased proliferation in the order CNR < CAR < CAU < CNU, whereas the trend was reversed in HCT116 cancer cells. Proteomic analysis revealed that in BJ-5Ta cells, unroasted coffee extract caused downregulation of the ribosome pathway, and natural coffee extract caused downregulation of the gap junction pathway, indicating reduced protein synthesis and cell-cell communication as a potential stress-adaptive response. In contrast, in HCT116 cells, unroasted coffee extract upregulated the ribosome pathway. Also, natural coffee extract upregulated the pentose phosphate pathway in HCT116 cells, which may enhance NADPH production and reduce oxidative stress. Current evidence suggests coffee's bioactive compounds may have different effects varying by coffee extract type and their preparation.

Extraction and analysis of coffee bean allergens.

Workers in the coffee industry can develop occupational allergic disease upon exposure to dust associated with coffee manufacturing. Since controversy exists as to the source or chemical nature of these allergens, the mouse model of reaginic antibody production was used to assess the potential sources of allergens in samples obtained from a local coffee manufacturing plant. Mice were immunized with extracts of coffee dust and beans and the resulting reaginic antibody response determined by the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction. Cross-reacting allergens were detected in samples of coffee dust, cleaner can debris and green coffee beans, but not in chaff or roasted coffee beans. None of the allergens detected in coffee samples cross-reacted with extract of castor beans, although these extracts contained the potent castor bean allergen. Green coffee bean allergens partially purified by gel filtration were heterogeneous with respect to molecular size, although quite similar in their reactivity with reaginic antiserum. These results suggest that the green coffee bean is the major source of allergen in coffee manufacturing plants. This allergen is heterogeneous with respect to size and heat lability, and is immunochemically different from the castor bean allergen.

Respiratory function in coffee workers.

Respiratory function was studied in three groups of workers employed in processing coffee. The prevalence of almost all chronic respiratory symptoms was significantly higher in coffee processors than in control workers. In each group during the Monday work shift there was a significant mean acute decrease in the maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% vital capacity (VC), ranging from 4.0% to 8.7%, and at 25% VC, ranging from 6.0% to 18.5%. Acute reductions in FEV1.0 were considerably lower, ranging from 1.3% to 2.8%. On Thursdays the acute ventilatory function changes were somewhat lower than on Mondays. Acute decreases in flow rates at low lung volumes suggest that the bronchoconstrictor effect of the dust acts mostly on smaller airways. Administration of Intal (disodium cromoglycate) before the shift considerably diminished acute reductions in flow rates. A comparison of Monday pre-shift values of ventilatory capacity in coffee workers with those in controls indicates that exposure to dust in green or roasted coffee processing may lead to persistent loss of pulmonary function.

[Effects of a coffee-antacid-mixture and a commercial coffee with regard to gastrin, pH and gastric secretion (author's transl)].

The influence of a coffee-antazid-mixture was investigated at 30 patients with diseases of the stomach (17 with duodenal ulcer, 6 with gastric ulcer and 7 with chronic gastritis) in comparison to a commercial coffee. The parameters measured were the gastric basal acid output, the continuous registration of the pH by an intragastric electrode and the serum gastrin concentration before and after the application of the tests substances. 75% of the patients with duodenal ulcer showed a positive effect by means of a greater elevation of the intragastric pH after application of the mixture in comparison to coffee. The effect was strongly correlated to the basal acid ouptput. In the group with gastric ulcer and that with duodenal ulcer under the influence of the mixture the pH after the initial rise decreased to less deeper values. There was a close relationship to the patterns of gastric ulcer as well with chronic gastritis there was an additional facourable effect on the symptoms of abdominal pain which occured after coffee and not after the mixture. The group with chronic gastritis showed no difference between the pure coffee and the coffee-antacid-mixture. A possible relationship of the products of coffee roasting and the adsorptive properties of the antacid is discussed.

Furanic compounds in different coffee extraction systems: Analysis of the main influencing factors and correlation with acrylamide.

This study investigates how different coffee types representative of distinct roast profiles and brewing methods jointly affect the occurrence of furanic compounds and acrylamide in brewed coffee. Coffees were prepared using eight extraction methods (AeroPress, Clever, Chemex, French Press, Moka, Pure Brew, Turkish and V60). Five furanic compounds (furfural, furfuryl acetate, 5-methylfurfural, furfuryl alcohol and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) were quantified in coffee powders and brews by HS-SPME-GC-MS, while acrylamide was determined by UHPLC-MS/MS. Moka and Turkish brews consistently exhibited the highest concentrations of furanic compounds, whereas paper-filtered pour-over methods (V60 and Chemex) showed the lowest levels. Pearson correlation analysis revealed coffee-dependent relationships between furanic compounds, acrylamide and extraction parameters with the strongest associations observed in dark-roasted coffee, reflecting advanced Maillard reaction chemistry. Overall, these results demonstrate that contaminant levels arise from the combined effects of intrinsic coffee chemistry and brewing mechanics and support targeted mitigation strategies: such as roast selection and brewing method optimization.

Spectrophotometric determination of caffeine in coffee products: collaborative study.

An ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometric method for determining caffeine in regular and decaffeinated coffee products has been studied collaboratively. Nine laboratories participated in this study which compares the proposed UV method with the official AOAC micro Bailey-Andrew method. Caffeine content was determined on as-is basis on 8 samples of green, roasted, and soluble coffees. The coefficients of variation for the proposed method ranged from 2.02 to 6.98% for the 8 samples studied. The results agreed well with those from the Bailey-Andrew Method. The method was adopted as official first action.

Mutagens in coffee and tea.

Coffee prepared in the usual way for drinking contains a substance(s) that is mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA100 without mammalian microsomal enzymes. One cup of coffee (200 ml) contains mutagen(s) inducing 1.4-4.6 X 10(5) revertants under standard conditions. Instant coffee too is mutagenic to TA100 and one cup of instant coffee prepared from 1 g of coffee powder and 200 ml of water induced 5.6-5.8 X 10(4) revertants of TA100. Caffeine-free instant coffee also has similar mutagenicity. Addition of microsomal enzymes abolished the mutagenicity. Black tea, green tea and Japanese roasted tea were also mutagenic to TA100 without S9 mix and one cup of these teas prepared in the ordinary way produced 1.7-3.8 X 10(4) revertants of TA100. Black tea and green tea were also mutagenic to TA98 in the presence of S9 mix after treatment with a glycosidase from Aspergillus niger, hesperidinase. This type of mutagen in one cup of black tea induced 2.4 X 10(5) revertants of TA98.

The science of Arabic coffee (Qahwa): from phytochemistry and nutritional profile to health benefits and safety evaluation.

Arabic coffee (Qahwa), a traditional beverage widely consumed in the Middle East, has attracted increasing scientific attention due to its distinctive phytochemical composition and associated health effects. This review provides an integrated analysis of Qahwa's nutritional profile, focusing on its key bioactive constituents, including chlorogenic acids, caffeine, diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol), and phenolic compounds. These constituents contribute to a range of biological activities, notably antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and metabolic regulatory effects. The influence of technological variables, including roasting degree, brewing method, and bean origin, on the chemical composition and functional properties is critically examined. Safety concerns, particularly acrylamide formation and mycotoxin contamination, are also discussed. Although emerging data support Qahwa's potential as a functional beverage, further research is required to clarify dose-response relationships, synergistic interactions, and long-term health outcomes. This work highlights Qahwa as a promising candidate for food and nutraceutical applications, warranting standardized compositional profiling and toxicological evaluation.
