Workers in the coffee industry often develop allergic reactions, in the form of dermatitis, rhinitis, and bronchial asthma, on exposure to dust in the process of stripping the chaff from raw beans before roasting (2). This may or may not be a reaction to caffeine itself. 

Out of the above six major application areas, the applications in food, flavor, and fragrance have been heavily adopted by the industry. A good example is the coffee industry. Caffeine contents of coffee and...

For a number of years, many certified organic coffees could claim neither flavour nor appearance as assets. With little else to recommend it other than organic certification, the volume remained very small and was fuelled only by people who supported the concept of organics. Many of these coffees were of low quality and most were inconsistent, due primarily to rustic post-harvest and processing methods used by relatively poor small farmers. These farmers, who were already accustomed to low- or no-input farming, were the easiest to certify and therefore among the first to supply the organic market. Unfortunately, this poor quality quite literally left a bad taste in the mouth of the coffee industry a memory that in many countries continues to this day. 

The markets for a number of organic products are relatively new and still in the formative stages. Research and examples, particularly from the coffee industry, indicate that clarity in the certification process, quality of delivered product, and consistency of both the quality and the delivery are vital for fte broader success of organics. Yet many producers will require specific support to fulfil these demands. Government can provide some of the support, but market linkages via producer organisations and supply chains will be vital for long-term success.

Today, the coffee industry is globally situated, employing more than 20 million people. As a commodity, coffee ranks second only to petroleum in dollars traded worldwide. Furthermore, coffee is the most popular beverage in the world, with over 400 billion cups consumed annually. Espresso, a recent iiuiovation in the preparation of coffee, obtained its origin in 1822, with the innovation of the first crude espresso machine in France, later perfected and first manufactured in Italy. Espresso has become an integral part of Italian life and culture, with currently over 200,000 espresso bars in Italy.
