In this work, the ammonium formate version of the QuEChERS method has been applied for the first time to the extraction of a group of nine phthalic acid esters and one adipate from three types of coffee (maximum intensity, intermediate intensity and decaffeinated) prepared from coffee capsules, using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for analytes separation and determination. Matrix-matched calibration showed good linearity with determination coefficients (R) higher than 0.9983 for all analytes and matrices. In general, matrix effect assessment revealed a medium effect of signal suppression, while mean relative recovery values were in the range 70-120% with relative standard deviation values ≤19% for most analytes. Several samples of each type of coffee obtained from capsules made of different materials were also analysed, finding concentrations of DBP, DEHA and DEHP in the range 29.3-734 ng/capsule, below the tolerable daily intake established for some of them.

In recent years, coffee capsule waste has been generated on an increasingly large scale worldwide, but disposing of it in an environmentally sustainable and economical manner still poses major challenges. This work maps the original scientific production focused on the valorization of coffee capsule waste through a bibliometric review based on scientific articles published in the last 10 years (from 2014 to 2024) in the Scopus database. The review identified different ways of valuing coffee capsule waste, including the development of composite materials, composting, energy production, jewelry and decorative items, and the construction of supercapacitors and sensors.

Background: Athletes require proper nutrition to enhance training and performance. Studies indicate that alternative sources of caffeine, such as caffeinated chewing gum, mouth rinses, energy gels, and coffee can improve performance. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of consuming caffeinated gum (CG) and repeated coffee mouth rinsing (CMR) on professional male table tennis players' aerobic capacity and explosive power.

The human gut microbiome is highly personal. However, the contribution of gut physiology and environment to variations in the gut microbiome remains understudied. Here we performed an observational trial using multi-omics to profile microbiome composition and metabolism in 61 healthy adults for 9 consecutive days.

Objectives: Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The current study was a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study that aimed to determine the impact of green coffee (GC) in obese patients with metabolic syndrome through analysis of miRNA-155, miRNA-133a and the inflammatory biomarkers such as resistin, TNF-α, total sialic acid, homocysteine, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and the anti-inflammatory cytokine, adiponectin.
Methods: One hundred-sixty obese patients were randomly supplemented either with GC capsules (800 mg) or placebo daily for six months.
