Coffee is the most popular beverage in the Republic of Korea, other than Korea's traditional green tea. Coffee contains many physiologically active substances, such as chlorogenic acids (CGAs) and caffeine. Previous studies have focused on the content of CGAs and caffeine in brewed coffee. This study quantified the total amounts of CGAs and caffeine using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector in 83 various coffee-related products, such as instant coffee, roasted and ground coffee sold in supermarkets, ready-to-drink coffee, and Americano coffee sold in franchise restaurants in the Republic of Korea. According to the results of this study, the coffee with the highest content of CGAs was unblended roasted and ground coffee sold in supermarkets, with a mean value of 194.1 ± 67.7 mg/serving, and the most caffeine-rich coffee was Americano coffee from coffee shops, with a mean value of 166.1 ± 37.5 mg/serving. The caffeine/CGA ratios were determined in various coffee beverages because they are useful parameters for estimating the human health. The lowest mean caffeine/CGAs ratio of 0.5 ± 0.1 was found in unblended ground coffee sold in supermarkets, and the highest mean ratio of 2.5 ± 1.4 was found in milk-added ready-to-drink coffee. Adult caffeine tolerance is defined as 400 mg a day in the Republic of Korea. However, this value highlights the importance of medicines, carbohydrate beverages, tea, chocolate, cocoa products, energy drinks and other sources of caffeine that can contribute to the total intake of caffeine.

The agricultural sector of Colombia supports the national economy and food security due to the rich lands for cultivation. Although Colombia has a vast hydrological basin, climate change can impact agricultural productivity, generating economic and social adverse effects. For this, we evaluated the impact of some environmental variables on the production of the most sold crops using production, climatic, and hydrological data of the 1121 municipalities from 2007 to 2020.

Aceh is an important region for the production of high-quality Gayo arabica coffee in Indonesia. In this area, several coffee cherry processing methods are well implemented including the honey process (HP), wine process (WP), and natural process (NP). The most significant difference between the three coffee cherry processing methods is the fermentation process: HP is a process of pulped coffee bean fermentation, WP is coffee cherry fermentation, and NP is no fermentation.

To enable the monitoring of a wide scope of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the ng/kg level in foodstuffs, an LC-MS/MS method comprising 57 analytes was developed and validated in seven different matrices (milk powder, milk-based infant formula, meat-based baby food puree, fish and fish oil, fresh egg, and soluble coffee). The analytical approach was based on an acetonitrile:water extraction followed by solid phase extraction clean-up with subsequent quantification of the extracted analytes either by isotope dilution (55 compounds) or by standard addition (2 compounds) mass spectrometry. The validation criteria followed the guidance document for the analysis of PFAS issued by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants.

The consumption of hot drinks dispensed from vending machines has become a common practice, both in workplaces and during free time. Every day, millions of bulk drinks are sold, but the quality of the products distributed may not always be guaranteed, as it is related to many factors such as the quality of the water, the raw materials used, and the effectiveness of the equipment's cleaning system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hygienic-sanitary requirements of hot drinks and vending machine surfaces.
