Coffee production data

If the material is granulated, e. g. frozen and granulated coffee extract, having a solid content perhaps of 40 % and a density of 0.6 g/cm3 (Fig. 1.61), Eq. 12 is still applicable, but the product data are different. The heat transfer is through the dried product with a Atr = 8.37 10 2 kJ/m h °C. To make the results better comparable, d = 0.7 cm and rtot have been retained from the earlier example, even if Ttol were normally higher, e. g. 100 °C. 

It is impossible to make a close estimate of how much coffee production could be increased if diseases, insects, and weeds were reasonably well controlled. Official data on these matters are almost nonexistent. The author s belief is that coffee production could be augmented, easily, at least one third the world over, if diseases and other pests were properly counteracted. 

White (1995), not for a sensory analysis but mainly with a view to determining coffee adulterations, used the data of combined headspace GC and high-performance LC for multivariate analysis. Principal component analysis visualized the relationship between samples, and the outlying samples could be identified. The method could be an additional tool for classification and quality control of coffee products. 

Unsteady state models for the extraction of natural products. Data on the extraction of caffeine from green coffee beans [90, 102], lignin derivatives from wood particles [77], 6-gingerol from ginger rhizome [103], aromatic hydrocarbons from soil and oil from peanuts have been modelled. The unsteady state models of Kandiah and Spiro [103] (ginger) Goto et al. [77] (wood) and Bartle et al. [104] (soil) are discussed below. 

Euactioaahty of whey proteia coaceatrates varies with whey type and concentration. Table 5 gives compositional data for whey proteia coaceatrates from differeat sources of whey. These coaceatrates are used ia a limited number of products ice cream and other fro2en desserts, fermented products, coffee whiteners, and whipped toppiags. 

Little information has been published on pesticide degradation products, produced in coffee, that may have significant physiological effects. Some information has been published, however, for glyphosate,191 aldicarb,194 and carbofuran,187 although there is some controversy surrounding the carbofuran data.188... 

In an investigation of caffeine-containing products in 1993, Slattery et al.75 reported on alcohol, coffee, tea, caffeine, and theobromine intake and the risk of prostate cancer in a Utah study. Data were gathered from a population-based sample of 362 newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer and 685 age-matched controls. The Utah population was comprised predominantly of members of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints. The researchers found that pack-years of cigarettes smoked and consumption of alcohol, coffee, tea, and caffeine were not associated with prostate cancer risk, but found some possible correlation with increased theobro-... 

The data presented here has provided a chronological picture of the evolution and current state of the possible positive or negative association of some methylxanthine-containing products and various types of cancer. Perhaps the best conclusion at this time is an extension to tea and other methylxanthine-containing products of the statement by Stavric" who in 1990 wrote that certain controversial issues about the effect of coffee on human health remains unresolved. Future work should focus on types and methods of preparation of teas, roasting and preparation methods for coffees, and consider the whole beverage rather than caffeine or other methylxanthine per se. Meanwhile it appears that both tea and coffee and... 

The most important item to keep in mind when interpreting this data is that all the relationships mentioned are merely associations between a disease outcome and some personal characteristic which is common to a high proportion of subjects who experience the disease. Even if statistical testing has essentially ruled out chance phenomenon as a likely explanation for these observed associations, there is still the very real possibility that the associations are indirect and, thus, not directly relevant to the cause of the disease. For example, it is likely that Adventists who use meat and/or coffee may have many other characteristics which are different from subjects who abstain from these products. One or more of these characteristics may be the important factor which actually accounts for the association between meat and a specific cause of death. Yet, such a factor may not have been measured or taken into account during the data analysis. 

Toxic effects are evident from stronger formulas of Bordeaux in other data reported by Munro and Sandararaman (46). Jones reported results from 5 years of study (30), from which it was evident that among the copper sprays at 1, 2.5, and 4% concentrations, the 2.5 was better than the others. The higher concentration reduced production. Spray studies in Costa Rica have given the author a chance (94y 100) to make observations on symptoms of copper toxicity all the copper sprays are, to a certain extent, toxic to coffee. 

Acrolein has been identified in foods and food components such as raw cocoa beans, chocolate liquor, souring salted pork, fried potatoes and onions, raw and cooked turkey, and volatiles from cooked mackerel, white bread, raw chicken breast, ripe arctic bramble berries, heated animal fats and vegetable oils, and roasted coffee (Cantoni et al. 1969 EPA 1980, 1985 IARC 1985 Umano and Shibamoto 1987). Sufficient data are not available to establish the level of acrolein typically encountered in these foods. Trace levels of acrolein have been found in wine, whiskey, and lager beer (IARC 1985). Further information regarding the occurrence of acrolein in food and related products is provided by EPA (1980). 

Multidimensional techniques are regularly used in analytical assessments of measurement data relating to the levels of chemical elements in the quality control of animal and plant food products. Chemometric interpretations have been obtained for the following animal products meat and meat products [316-318], fish [319-321], seafood [25, 322-328], milk and dairy products [329-332] and honey [333-339]. Similar interpretations have been obtained for the following plant products rice [143], cereals [340], vegetables [140, 341-346], fruit and fruit preserves [347], tea [155, 348-350], coffee [13, 155, 351, 352], mushrooms [26], fruit juices [141], confectionery [21, 353], nuts [354], wine [355-358], beer [66, 359] and other alcoholic beverages [159, 360, 361]. 

A large body of experimental data has been accumulated on the solubility and extractability of natural products, such as steroids, alkaloids, anticancer agents, oils from seeds, and caffeine from coffee beans, in various SCF solvents such as CO2, ethane, ethylene, and N2O. Carbon dioxide is probably the most widely investigated SCF solvent since its critical temperature T = 31.1°C) makes it an ideal solvent for extracting materials that are thermally labile. Also, CO2 is nontoxic, nonflammable, environmentally acceptable, and inexpensive.
