The study analyzed the differences in nutritional and anti-nutritional compositions between green coffee beans with and without their silver skin, noting significant variations in protein and mineral content.
Green coffee beans with silver skin showed a 15% higher protein level and increased phosphorus and calcium, while having lower iron content likely due to higher tannin levels.
Anti-nutritional compounds like phytic acid and tannin were significantly higher in beans with silver skin, indicating potential health implications for those consuming these beans.
