The compounds given off during the roasting of coffee are not necessarily found in the finally roasted bean, and so only a few such compounds are included. In a list of volatile components in foods which is regularly brought up to date4 more than 800 volatile compounds are listed for coffee when it is roasted, and of these 60 to 80 contribute to coffee aroma.5 Comparison of the 14 most potent odorants from roasted Arabica and Robusta coffees, revealed significant differences,6 (see Table 2). 

Model systems indicate that aldehydes may also be produced by the action of polyphenoloxidases on amino acids in the presence of catechin, all of which are present in coffee beans at some stage between green and roasted. For example, valine yields isobutanal, leucine yields isopentanal, and isoleucine yields 2-methyl-butanal.14 Some of these aldehydes probably undergo condensation reactions in the acidic medium of the roasted bean when moisture is present.15 Some dienals in green coffee beans have recently been identified as (E,E)-2,4- and (E,Z)-2,4-nonadienal and (E,E)-2,4- and (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal.18... 

Total caffeine consumption will vary with a number of factors that are often difficult to disentangle. For caffeine exposure attributable to coffee, this includes brewing method and preparation type of coffee (Arabica, Robusta, instant), averaging to 1.3% caffeine for roasted beans 39 brand of coffee size of coffee cup and the volume of added ingredients, such as milk, cream sweeteners, and syrups. There are several different brewing or preparation techniques by which coffee can be prepared. Most notably, they differ in their final extraction of caffeine depending on the process. Filter coffee or automatic drip coffee results in approximately 97 to 100% caffeine extraction 37 however, regional differences in the volume of coffee... 

Similar reactions may lead to HDF formation during roasting of coffee, cocoa beans or sesame seeds. However, this has to be proven by further experiments. 

Coffee brewed from roasted beans and those prepared from instant powder, including the caffeine-free type, all display mutagenic activity. Apart from natural mutagens such as caffeic acid and its precursors chlorogenic and neochlorogenic acids, these drinks contain mutagenic products of pyrolysis methylglyoxal and less active gly-oxal and diacetyl (Ames, 1986) ... 

For all that, the history of coffee has not come to an end. People liked the social atmosphere of coffee drinking but did not want the possible effect of caffeine, hence the decaffeination process, or of some acids, hence the steam-treatment. For others, making coffee from the roasted beans was too much trouble, hence the preparation of soluble coffees, decaffeinated or not. All these treatments alter the content, and therefore the taste of the beverage. There is now a trend to new products (iced coffee, iced cappuccino for example). There are also gourmet people who buy specialty roasted coffee and increase the side-market for coffee-pots or espresso makers by brewing coffee according to their taste. 

Cech (1880) published a short and unsubstantial article on the preparation of a roasted coffee oil. He obtained yields between 8 and 13% from the roasted beans, mentioned the possibility of using it as a liquor ingredient and simply observed the slow formation of fine caffeine needles. 

Figure 4.3 compares the number of compounds identified in green and in roasted coffee beans. Green coffee contains a larger number of identified alcohols (B) and nearly the same number of identified aldehydes (C) and esters (F) than roasted beans. On the contrary, the latter are richer in furans (I), pyrazines (O), ketones (D) and phenols (H). Thiophenes (J), oxazoles (L) and thiazoles (M) have only been identified in roasted coffee. The roasting effect is also revealed by the increased number of pyrroles (K) and sulfur-containing compounds. The distribution of aroma volatiles is shown in Figure 4.4. 

Identified by Heins et al. (1966) in a headspace analysis of commercial roasted beans and by Merritt et al. (1970) in green and roasted (400-430 °F, ca 205 240 °C) beans. Silwar et al. (1987) gave a concentration of 0.10-0.15 ppm in roasted coffee. It is present in the analysis of Puerto Rico Rio and healthy green beans (simultaneous distillation-extraction, GC/MS) by Spadone et al. (1990) and in the green Mexican coffee analyzed by Cantergiani et al. (2001). 

Identified by Merritt and Robertson (1966) and by Merritt et al. (1970) in green and roasted beans. It was only tentatively identified by Spadone et al. (1990) in a Puerto Rico Rio but not in a healthy green coffee. Procida et al. (1997) identified it in headspace of green arabica and robusta (each of six origins), in about the same proportion, without any mention of off-flavor. Ramos et al. (1998) found it in extract of brewed arabica (liquid liquid or supercritical-fluid extraction). 

Identified by Prescott et al. (1937a,b) through a naphthyl carbamate derivative and by Lockhart (1957). Rhoades (1960) with GC/MS measures a concentration of 0.2-4.0 ppm in green and 0.6-4 ppm in roasted beans (given also as unreliable data). It constitutes only 0.4 % of the coffee aroma according to Merritt et al. (1963) and is one of the alcohols found by Merritt and Robertson (1966) in the analysis of the total... 

Some aldehydes have been identified in green coffee by Guyot et al. (1983). These authors mention the presence in green coffee of 2,4-dimethylpentanal (C.15), a compound which has not been identified in the roasted beans. Some volatile unsaturated aldehydes contribute to the typical green coffee odor and may impact the cultivar-related flavor or off-flavor characteristics in corresponding roasted coffee. 

Identified by Mabrouk and Deatherage (1956), estimated at 0.4% by weight of roasted beans and 6.2% of total acids recovered from powdered extracts. Schormiiller et al. (1961) found a much smaller amount 40 ppm (0.2 % of the acid content) in a commercial powder, near the values given later by Maier (1987, 1988) 10-60 ppm in roasted coffee and 30-60 ppm in commercial extracts. Feldman et al. (1969) found decreasing values from medium to dark roast, from 460-1000 ppm of dry material to 350— 790 ppm, with various species. Different values were given by Bahre and Maier (1999) (see E.29) 4 ppm in a green and roasted arabica, not even detectable in a coffee of espresso quality or in an instant coffee. 

Identified by Zlatkis and Sivetz (1960) in a coffee aroma essence (see F.l) representing about 200 ppm of a roasted coffee. The concentration was approximately 0.6 ppm of the roasted beans (0.3% of the essence). 

Its presence in headspace of green coffee, but not of roasted beans, was mentioned by Merritt et al. (1970).
