Espresso coffee (EC) is a complex and much appreciated beverage among coffee consumers. The extraction phase of EC, a combination of physical and chemical variables in a very short time, has a direct effect on the flavour of the beverage. This research aims to optimize the extraction process of EC by decreasing the amount of ground coffee from 14 g to 12 g (double cup), while keeping constant the particle size of ground coffee and the physical parameters of the espresso machine, making use of the following accessories: two different filter baskets, and four different heights of perforated discs (4-7 mm).

This study sought to determine the content of phytosterols (PS) in spent coffee grounds (SCG) to assess a novel industrial application of this coffee by-product as a commercial source of PS. Four PS were extracted and analyzed from 14 SCG samples from 12 countries. Sonication in acidic conditions followed by saponification resulted determinant for PS extraction.

Green coffee, the raw material of roasted coffee and coffee beverages, is one of the most widely traded commodities worldwide. There is a dearth of studies on its content in phytoestrogens such as isoflavones and lignans. Previously, we developed an efficient method for the simultaneous quantification of 6 isoflavones (daidzin, genistin, daidzein, genistein, formononetin and biochanin A) and 3 lignans (secoisolariciresinol, matairesinol and lariciresinol) in green coffee by using HPLC-MS/MS.

The purpose of this work was the optimization of the extraction from spent coffee grounds, specifically 100% Arabica coffee blends, using a desirability approach. Spent coffees were recovered after the preparation of the espresso coffee under the typical conditions used in coffee bars with a professional machine. Spent coffee was subjected to different extraction procedures in water: by changing the extraction temperature (60, 80, or 100 °C) and the solvent extraction volume (10, 20, 30 mL for 1 gram of coffee) and by maintaining constant the extraction time (30 minutes).

Espresso machines maintain constant the extraction process of espresso coffee (EC), however, it is difficult to grind roasted coffee in homogeneous way. This research aims to investigate grinded beans at specific particle sizes in three variously designed filter baskets and to compare the concentration of bioactive compounds while decreasing the amount of ground coffee. Analyses on caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids are carried out with HPLC-VWD, while volatiles with HS-SPME/GC-MS.

The article is dedicated to the works of E.V. Adamyuk (1839-1906) - founder of the Kazan School of Ophthalmology, a professor of the Imperial Kazan University; he published in the specialized journal 'The Russian Annals of Ophthalmology' ('Vestnik oftal'mologii') in the late XIX - early XX centuries.

Lignans are a class of polyphenols considered to be phytoestrogens because of their oestrogenic/antiestrogenic activities and their plant origin. Few works have reported on the content of lignans in ground coffee, and most of them analysed a small number of samples. Hence, our aim was to quantify the content of three lignans, secoisolariciresinol, lariciresinol and matairesinol, in ground coffee by using high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

Efficacy of mandibular fractures treatment with laser irradiation, ultrasound therapy, photophoresis and ultraphonophoresis of 5% chondroxide oitment in 108 patients with mandibular fractures was studied. Physicopharmacological and clinical investigations showed perspectiveness of using photophoresis and ultraphonophoresis of chondroxide in maxillofacial traumatology for treatment of mandibular fractures.
