Abstract
Based on concepts from nuclear magnetic resonance, we have developed UV/vis diffusion-ordered spectroscopy, which simultaneously probes the size and electronic absorption spectrum of molecules and particles. We use simple flow technology to create a step-function concentration profile inside an optical sample cell, and by measuring the time-dependent absorption spectrum in an initially solvent-filled part of the sample volume, we obtain the diffusion coefficients and UV/vis spectra of the species present in the sample solution. From these data, we construct a two-dimensional spectrum with absorption wavelength on one axis and diffusion coefficient (or equivalently, size) on the other, in which the UV/vis spectrum of a mixture with different molecular sizes is separated into the spectra of the different species, sorted by size. We demonstrate this method on mixed solutions of fluorescent dyes, biomolecules, and the UV-absorbing components of coffee, caffeine, and chlorogenic acid, all with concentrations in the μM range.

A one-class classification approach for authentication of specialty coffees by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Food Chem 2024; 442:138268.

Abstract
Due to the lucrative nature of specialty coffees, there have been instances of adulteration where low-cost materials are mixed in to increase the overall volume, resulting in illegal profit. A widely used and recommended approach to detect possible adulteration is the application of one-class classifiers (OCC), which only require information about the target class to build the models. Thus, this work aimed to identify adulterations in specialty coffees with low-quality coffee using multielement analysis determined by ICP-MS and to evaluate the performance of one-class classifiers (dd-SIMCA, OCRF, and OCPLS). Therefore, authentic specialty coffee samples were adulterated with low-quality coffee in 25 % to 75 % (w/w) proportions. Samples were subjected to acid decomposition for analysis by ICP-MS. OCPLS method presented the best performance to detect adulterations with low-quality coffee in specialty coffees, showing higher specificity (SPE = 100 %) and reliability rate (RLR = 94.3 %).

The Authentication of Gayo Arabica Green Coffee Beans with Different Cherry Processing Methods Using Portable LED-Based Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Chemometrics Analysis. Foods 2023; 12:4302. [PMID: 38231760 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Aceh is an important region for the production of high-quality Gayo arabica coffee in Indonesia. In this area, several coffee cherry processing methods are well implemented including the honey process (HP), wine process (WP), and natural process (NP). The most significant difference between the three coffee cherry processing methods is the fermentation process: HP is a process of pulped coffee bean fermentation, WP is coffee cherry fermentation, and NP is no fermentation. It is well known that the WP green coffee beans are better in quality and are sold at higher prices compared with the HP and NP green coffee beans. In this present study, we evaluated the utilization of fluorescence information to discriminate Gayo arabica green coffee beans from different cherry processing methods using portable fluorescence spectroscopy and chemometrics analysis. A total of 300 samples were used (n = 100 for HP, WP, and NP, respectively). Each sample consisted of three selected non-defective green coffee beans. Fluorescence spectral data from 348.5 nm to 866.5 nm were obtained by exciting the intact green coffee beans using a portable spectrometer equipped with four 365 nm LED lamps. The result showed that the fermented green coffee beans (HP and WP) were closely mapped and mostly clustered on the left side of PC1, with negative scores. The non-fermented (NP) green coffee beans were clustered mostly on the right of PC1 with positive scores. The results of the classification using partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) are acceptable, with an accuracy of more than 80% reported. The highest accuracy of prediction of 96.67% was obtained by using the PCA-LDA model. Our recent results show the potential application of portable fluorescence spectroscopy using LED lamps to classify and authenticate the Gayo arabica green coffee beans according to their different cherry processing methods. This innovative method is more affordable and could be easy to implement (in terms of both affordability and practicability) in the coffee industry in Indonesia.

Abstract
Processing the coffee cherry into roasted beans generates a large amount of by-products, which can negatively impact the environment. The aim of this study was to analyze the bioactive potential and chemical composition of different coffee by-products (pulp, husk, parchment, silverskin, defective beans, and green coffee sieving residue) having in mind their bioactive potential for health and well-being. The coffee by-products showed a distinct nutritional composition. The content of ash, protein, fat, and total dietary fiber was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in coffee pulp (10.72% dw), silverskin (16.31% dw), defective beans (8.47% dw), and parchment (94.19% dw), respectively. Defective beans and the sieve residue exhibited a higher content of total phenolics (6.54 and 5.11 g chlorogenic acid eq./100 g dw, respectively) as well as higher DPPH• scavenging activity (3.11 and 2.85 g Trolox eq./100 g, respectively) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (17.68 and 17.56 g ferrous sulfate eq./100 g dw, respectively). All the coffee by-products considered in this study are sources of caffeine and chlorogenic acids, in particular 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5.36-3787.58 mg/100 g dw, for parchment and defective beans, respectively). Thus, they can be recycled as functional ingredients for food, cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical industries, contributing to the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of the coffee industry.

Abstract
Coffee is both a vastly consumed beverage and a chemically complex matrix. For a long time, an arduous chemical analysis was necessary to resolve coffee authentication issues. Despite their demonstrated efficacy, such techniques tend to rely on reference methods or resort to elaborate extraction steps. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the aquaphotomics approach, on the other hand, reportedly offer a rapid, reliable, and holistic compositional overview of varying analytes but with little focus on low concentration mixtures of Robusta-to-Arabica coffee. Our study aimed for a comparative assessment of ground coffee adulteration using NIRS and liquid coffee adulteration using the aquaphotomics approach. The aim was to demonstrate the potential of monitoring ground and liquid coffee quality as they are commercially the most available coffee forms. Chemometrics spectra analysis proved capable of distinguishing between the studied samples and efficiently estimating the added Robusta concentrations. An accuracy of 100% was obtained for the varietal discrimination of pure Arabica and Robusta, both in ground and liquid form. Robusta-to-Arabica ratio was predicted with R2CV values of 0.99 and 0.9 in ground and liquid form respectively. Aquagrams results accentuated the peculiarities of the two coffee varieties and their respective blends by designating different water conformations depending on the coffee variety and assigning a particular water absorption spectral pattern (WASP) depending on the blending ratio. Marked spectral features attributed to high hydrogen bonded water characterized Arabica-rich coffee, while those with the higher Robusta content showed an abundance of free water structures. Collectively, the obtained results ascertain the adequacy of NIRS and aquaphotomics as promising alternative tools for the authentication of liquid coffee that can correlate the water-related fingerprint to the Robusta-to-Arabica ratio.

Abstract
This review covers recent developments in the field of non-invasive techniques for the quality assessment of processed horticultural products over the past decade. The concept of quality and various quality characteristics related to evaluating processed horticultural products are detailed. A brief overview of non-invasive methods, including spectroscopic techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance, and hyperspectral imaging techniques, is presented. This review highlights their application to predict quality attributes of different processed horticultural products (e.g., powders, juices, and oils). A concise summary of their potential commercial application for quality assessment, control, and monitoring of processed agricultural products is provided. Finally, we discuss their limitations and highlight other emerging non-invasive techniques applicable for monitoring and evaluating the quality attributes of processed horticultural products. Our findings suggest that infrared spectroscopy (both near and mid) has been the preferred choice for the non-invasive assessment of processed horticultural products, such as juices, oils, and powders, and can be adapted for on-line quality control. Raman spectroscopy has shown potential in the analysis of powdered products. However, imaging techniques, such as hyperspectral imaging and X-ray computed tomography, require improvement on data acquisition, processing times, and reduction in the cost and size of the devices so that they can be adopted for on-line measurements at processing facilities. Overall, this review suggests that non-invasive techniques have the potential for industrial application and can be used for quality assessment.

Abstract
All-solid state screen-printed electrodes were fabricated for chlorogenic acid (CGA) detection. The screen-printed platforms were modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to work as a lipophilic solid-contact transducer. The sensing-membrane was plasticized with a suitable solvent mediator and incorporating [NiII(bathophenanthroline)3][CGA]2 complex as a sensory material. In a 30 mM phosphate solution (buffer, pH 6), the sensor revealed a Nernstian-response towards CGA ions with a slope of -55.1 ± 1.1 (r 2 = 0.9997) over the linear range 1.0 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-3 (0.035-354.31 μg mL-1) with a detection limit 7.0 × 10-8 M (24.8 ng mL-1). It revealed a stable potentiometric response with excellent reproducibility and enhanced selectivity over several common ions. Short-term potential stability and the interfacial sensor capacitance was estimated using both electrochemical-impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry techniques. The presented electrochemical platform revealed the merits of design simplicity, ease of miniaturization, good potential-stability, and cost-effectiveness. It is successfully applied to CGA determination in different coffee beans extracts and juice samples. The data obtained were compared with those obtained by liquid chromatography reference method (HPLC).

Abstract
As they become more health conscious, consumers are paying increasing attention to food quality and safety. In coffee production, fraudulent strategies to reduce costs and maximize profits include mixing beans from two species of different economic value, the addition of other substances and/or foods, and mislabeling. Therefore, testing for coffee authenticity and detecting adulterants is required for value assessment and consumer protection. Here we provide an overview of the chromatography, spectroscopy, and single-nucleotide polymorphism-based methods used to distinguish between the major coffee species Arabica and Robusta. This review also describes the techniques applied to trace the geographical origin of coffee, based mainly on the chemical composition of the beans, an approach that can discriminate between coffee-growing regions on a continental or more local level. Finally, the analytical techniques used to detect coffee adulteration with other foods and/or coffee by-products are discussed, with a look at the practice of adding pharmacologically active compounds to coffee, and their harmful effects on health.

Abstract
The near-infrared spectrometry combined with the one-class classification method was applied as quality control of the agroforestry-grown specialty coffee. A total of 34 samples were analyzed in this study. Spectral data were obtained using a NIR portable and different pre-treatment strategies for baseline correction were evaluated. Unsupervised pattern recognition (PCA and HCA) techniques were performed. The construction of the classification model was carried out using the dd-SIMCA algorithm with 19 samples acquired directly from producers that are recognized for the best quality control of the specialty type coffee. In order to test the model, 15 samples of non-specialty type, obtained in local markets, were evaluated. The classification model with the highest correct classification rate (CCR) scored 100% and 87% in the validation and test groups, respectively. The results demonstrated that the application of this strategy was successful in verifying the authenticity of specialty type agroforestry-grown coffee samples.

Abstract
Several factors such as genotype, environment, and post-harvest processing can affect the responses of important traits in the coffee production chain. Determining the influence of these factors is of great relevance, as they can be indicators of the characteristics of the coffee produced. The most efficient models choice to be applied should take into account the variety of information and the particularities of each biological material. This study was developed to evaluate statistical and machine learning models that would better discriminate environments through multi-traits of coffee genotypes and identify the main agronomic and beverage quality traits responsible for the variation of the environments. For that, 31 morpho-agronomic and post-harvest traits were evaluated, from field experiments installed in three municipalities in the Matas de Minas region, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Two types of post-harvest processing were evaluated: natural and pulped. The apparent error rate was estimated for each method. The Multilayer Perceptron and Radial Basis Function networks were able to discriminate the coffee samples in multi-environment more efficiently than the other methods, identifying differences in multi-traits responses according to the production sites and type of post-harvest processing. The local factors did not present specific traits that favored the severity of diseases and differentiated vegetative vigor. Sensory traits acidity and fragrance/aroma score also made little contribution to the discrimination process, indicating that acidity and fragrance/aroma are characteristic of coffee produced and all coffee samples evaluated are of the special type in the Mata of Minas region. The main traits responsible for the differentiation of production sites are plant height, fruit size, and bean production. The sensory trait "Body" is the main one to discriminate the form of post-harvest processing.
