In this study, the effects of fungal fermentation on green canephora coffee beans were evaluated by observing the changes to selected non-volatile parameters before roasting, and subsequently the volatile profile after roasting. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus spp. and Mucor spp. on green canephora coffee beans was shown to modulate the contents of free sugars, free amino acids and polyphenolic compounds such as caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs). Significant strain-specific differences were observed in the contents of aroma compounds after roasting. A significant increase in pyrazines was observed in the Aspergillus oryzae-fermented samples, while higher levels of furans were detected in the Mucor plumbeus-fermented samples. The present work shows that fungal fermentation of green canephora coffee beans is a potentially promising method for the modulation and improvement of coffee flavour and aroma.

Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) play a key role in defining the quality and functionality of coffee products. CGA fingerprints of black instant coffee (BIC) and coffee bean extract (CBE) were profiled using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and analyzed by chemometrics. A total of 25 CGAs were identified.

Unlabelled: (Arabica) and (Robusta) are valuable agricultural products traded worldwide. In this study, we designed specific primer pairs for Arabica and Robusta using chloroplast genes to distinguish and quantify the two types of coffee beans. We assessed the specificity, sensitivity, and applicability of the qRT-PCR assay using all the primer pairs.

Article Synopsis
- This study measured acrylamide levels in traditionally brewed Ethiopian coffee varieties from regions including Jimma and Sidama.
- Acrylamide concentrations varied among coffee types, with the highest levels found in Hararge and Nekemte, while brewed coffee showed significantly lower concentrations for both first and second brews.
- Daily acrylamide intake from coffee was well within safe limits, though some concerns were noted for Nekemte coffee in specific areas, suggesting a need for strategies to reduce acrylamide levels to protect health.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic autoimmune disorder with an incompletely elucidated pathogenesis. Emerging research indicates that dietary factors may significantly influence the onset and progression of RA. Nevertheless, the causal relationship between dietary habits and RA remains ambiguous.
