The effect of bean origin and temperature on grinding roasted coffee.

ABSTRACT: Coffee is prepared by the extraction of a complex array of organic molecules from the roasted bean, which has been ground into fine particulates. The extraction depends on temperature, water chemistry and also the accessible surface area of the coffee. Here we investigate whether variations in the production processes of single origin coffee beans affects the particle size distribution upon grinding. We find that the particle size distribution is independent of the bean origin and processing method. Furthermore, we elucidate the influence of bean temperature on particle size distribution, concluding that grinding cold results in a narrower particle size distribution, and reduced mean particle size. We anticipate these results will influence the production of coffee industrially, as well as contribute to how we store and use coffee daily.

Project description:The current study investigates the phytochemical composition of coffee plant organs and their corresponding antioxidant capacities compared to green and roasted coffee beans. HPLC analysis indicated that the investigated compounds were present in all organs except mangiferin, which was absent in roots, stems and seeds, and caffeine, which was absent in stems and roots. Total phytochemicals were highest in the green beans (GB) at 9.70 mg g-1 dry weight (DW), while roasting caused a 66% decline in the roasted beans (RB). This decline resulted more from 5-CQA and sucrose decomposition by 68% and 97%, respectively, while caffeine and trigonelline were not significantly thermally affected. Roasting increased the total phenolic content (TPC) by 20.8% which was associated with an increase of 68.8%, 47.5% and 13.4% in the antioxidant capacity (TEAC) determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH), 2,2-azino bis (3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical (ABTS) and Ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, respectively. Amongst the leaves, the youngest (L1) contained the highest content at 8.23 mg g-1 DW, which gradually reduced with leaf age to 5.57 mg g-1 DW in the oldest (L6). Leaves also contained the highest TPC (over 60 mg g-1 GAE) and exhibited high TEAC, the latter being highest in L1 at 328.0, 345.7 and 1097.4, and least in L6 at 304.6, 294.5 and 755.1 µmol Trolox g-1 sample for the respective assays. Phytochemical accumulation, TPC and TEAC were least in woody stem (WS) at 1.42 mg g-1 DW; 8.7 mg g-1 GAE; 21.9, 24.9 and 110.0 µmol Trolox g-1 sample; while herbaceous stem (HS) contained up to 4.37 mg g-1 DW; 27.8 mg g-1 GAE; 110.9, 124.8 and 469.7 µmol Trolox g-1 sample, respectively. Roots contained up to 1.85 mg g-1 DW, 15.8 mg-1 GAE and TEAC of 36.8, 41.5 and 156.7 µmol Trolox g-1 sample. Amongst the organs, therefore, coffee leaves possessed higher values than roasted beans on the basis of phytochemicals, TPC and TEAC. Leaves also contain carotenoids and chlorophylls pigments with potent health benefits. With appropriate processing methods, a beverage prepared from leaves (coffee leaf tea) could be a rich source of phytochemicals and antioxidants with therapeutic and pharmacological values for human health.
