Coffee pulp is one of the most underutilised by-products from coffee processing. For coffee growers, disposing of this agro-industrial biomass has become one of the most difficult challenges. This study utilised this potential biomass as raw material for polyphenolic antifungal agents. First, the proportion of biomass was obtained from the Arabica green bean processing. The yield of by-products was recorded, and the high-potency biomass was serially extracted with organic solvents for the polyphenol fraction. Quantification of the polyphenols was performed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), then further confirmed by mass spectrometry modes of the liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF). Then, the fraction was used to test antifungal activities against , sp. and . The results illustrated that caffeic acid and epigallocatechin gallate represented in the polyphenol fraction actively inhibited these fungi with an inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.09, 0.31 and 0.14, respectively. This study is also the first report on the alternative use of natural biocontrol agent of , the pathogen causing leaf spot in the Arabica coffee.

One strategy for adding unique characteristics and flavors to improve coffee quality is the selection of starter microorganisms. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of LNFCA11 and B10 as starter cultures on the quality of four different wet-fermented coffee varieties. Microbiological, molecular, and chemical analyses were carried out to identify yeast, bacteria, volatile compounds, carbohydrates and bioactive compounds in coffee.

is a rare Coffea species boasting a flavor profile comparable to Arabica coffee () and has a good adaptability to lowland tropical climates. This species faces increasing threats from climate change, deforestation, and habitat fragmentation in its West African homeland. Using 1037 novel SNP markers derived from Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS), we revealed the presence of three distinct natural populations (mean Fst = 0.

Ligand fishing is a promising strategy for the screening of active ingredients from complex natural products. In this work, human tyrosinase (hTYR) was displayed on the surface of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells for the first time; it was then used as bait to develop a new method for ligand fishing. The localization of hTYR on the CHO cell surface was verified by an enzyme activity test and fluorescence microscopy.

Coffee pulp (CP) is the by-product of coffee processing that urgently needs to be revalorized using sustainable technologies. This work applied a design of experiment (DoE) for modeling the extraction of bioactive compounds from CP using supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO) with ethanol as a co-solvent under variable conditions (temperature, pressure, and ethanol percentage). Considering extraction efficiency (per unit of CP) and extraction selectivity (per unit of extract), results showed that ethanol percentage significantly enhanced the efficiency of total phenolic content, as well as the selectivity of chlorogenic acid and protocatechuic acid (p < 0.
