The mutagenicity of instant coffee and its interaction with dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) were examined in mice using the micronucleus test. Although neither a single nor multiple administration of instant coffee by gavage induced a significant rise in micronucleated cells over the dose range tested (100-2500 mg/kg), there was a tendency for the number of micronucleated cells to increase in a dose-related fashion. When coffee was administered with DMN, the difference in the frequency of micronucleated cells was small in comparison to a single treatment with DMN alone, thus indicating a lack of synergism between coffee and DMN.

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Multivariate Profiling of Rare Earth Elements in Coffee.

January 2025
Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade, 11120 Belgrade, Serbia.
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.

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.

Article Synopsis
- - Costa Rica produces and consumes coffee, which is at risk of ochratoxin contamination, specifically from Ochratoxin A (OTA), a harmful compound linked to kidney damage and classified as a potential carcinogen.
- - A study analyzed 175 coffee samples using HPLC and found OTA in varying percentages across green, roasted, and instant coffee, with overall contamination rates showing that a significant portion of coffee products contained this toxin.
- - The estimated daily intake of OTA from coffee for the Costa Rican population is below the safety limits set by international authorities, indicating a low risk associated with ochratoxin exposure for coffee consumers in the country.
Is aquafaba suitable as a coffee creamer and foam enhancer in instant coffee?

Agriculture Research Centre, Central Laboratory of Residue Analysis of Pesticides and Heavy Metals in Foods, Ministry of Agriculture, 12311 Giza, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the use of aquafaba (AF) powders from chickpeas and navy beans as creamers and foam enhancers for coffee, using various scientific methods to analyze their properties.
- - Chickpea AF was found to have higher protein and phenolic content, while navy bean AF had better flowability and solubility, although it was less hygroscopic.
- - Adding either AF powder to instant coffee increased protein and phenolic content without affecting whiteness; chickpea AF created superior foam, while navy bean AF produced more stable foam.
