GD26012-A CURENT REVIEW ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF COFFEE AROMA: VOLATILE COMPOUNDS AND ANALYSIS WITH NEW ANALYTICAL APPROCHES

Abstract

Coffee, widely consumed worldwide and has significant agricultural and commercial importance, is rich in beneficial elements like tannins and caffeine, meanwhile contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs), responsible for coffee's unique aroma, beneficial to human health. This review summarizes the development of coffee aroma, the VOCs and how they’re analyzed with latest techniques and analysis methods. For this purpose, coffee types, their physical and chemical structure, processing, volatile and non-volatile compounds, precursors of VOCs, their reactions and effects on aroma, the techniques currently used in their analysis and the results obtained have been compiled in this review. VOCs in coffee are generally analyzed using methods such as headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS); or reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with spectrophotometric or mass spectrometric (MS) detection; however, there’s no single analytical method for determination. Researchers should select method(s)/combination(s) appropriate to the purpose of the study.
