Chemical analyses and sensory evaluation are the most applied methods for quality control of roasted and ground coffee (RG). However, faster alternatives would be highly valuable. Here, we applied infrared-photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS) on RG powder. Mixtures of specific defective beans were blended with healthy (defect-free) Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora bases in specific ratios, forming different classes of blends. Principal Component Analysis allowed predicting the amount/fraction and nature of the defects in blends while partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis revealed similarities between blends (=samples). A successful predictive model was obtained using six classes of blends. The model could classify 100% of the samples into four classes. The specificities were higher than 0.9. Application of FTIR-PAS on RG coffee to characterize and classify blends has shown to be an accurate, easy, quick and "green" alternative to current methods.

A rapid and efficient ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) procedure followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed for the determination of 14 rare earth elements (REEs) (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu), along with yttrium (Y) and scandium (Sc), in coffee samples. The method was validated using certified reference material (NIST SRM 1547), recovery tests at four fortification levels, and comparisons with microwave-assisted digestion (MAD). Excellent accuracy and precision were achieved, with recovery rates ranging from 80.

The prevention of coffee fraud through the use of digital and intelligence-based technologies is an analytical challenge because depending on the adulterant, visual inspection is unreliable in roasted and ground coffee due to the similarity in color and texture of the materials used. In this work, a 3D-printed apparatus for smartphone image acquisiton is proposed. The digital images are used to authenticate the geographical origin of indigenous canephora coffees produced at Amazon region, Brazil, against canephora coffees from Espírito Santo, Brazil, and to capture the adulteration of indigenous samples.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how different roasting degrees of coffee affect caffeine content and extraction yields, using 30 unique combinations of coffee varieties, roasting degrees, and brew times.
- An AeroPress was used for brewing, and measurement techniques included refractometry for extraction yield and HPLC for caffeine content, showing that higher roasting degrees increased seed porosity but generally reduced extraction yields.
- Interestingly, while caffeine concentrations were lower in dark roasts compared to light and medium roasts under the same brewing conditions, dark roasts had higher caffeine levels when extraction yields were matched, suggesting complex interactions between roasting and brewing processes.
