Abstract A method for the semiquantitative determination of ochratoxin A in green coffee has been studied collaboratively by 11 laboratories. The average recovery for the 7 samples spiked at 3 levels of ochratoxin A was 69.1%, ranging from 60.5 to 85.6%. This is comparable to other visual thin layer chromatographic methods of mycotoxin detection. The method has been adopted as official first action for the determination of ochratoxin A in green coffee beans.

Abstract Nine laboratories collaboratively studied a method for the detection of aflatoxin B1 in green coffee beans. The method investigated incorporates a Florisil column cleanup step, followed by visual estimation of aflatoxin. The method is recommended for adoption as official first action for semiquantitative determination of aflatoxin B1. Further study is required on the Florisil cleanup step.

The vitamin B3 (niacin) is present in various foods. During roasting of green coffee beans, niacin is formed from the alkaloid trigonelline. Therefore, we established a novel fast and sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method to determine niacin in coffee brews from five commercially available coffee samples. Additionally, we investigated the influence of the brewing method, brewing temperature, and degree of roasting on niacin contents. In the respective coffee brews, we were able to show that the content of niacin in coffee beverages is not only affected by the degree of roasting, but also by the extraction performance of different brewing methods to a lesser extent.

Species adulteration is a common problem in the coffee trade. Several attempts have been made to differentiate among species. However, finding an applicable methodology that would consider the various aspects of adulteration remains a challenge. This study investigated an ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy-based determination of caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents, as well as the applicability of non-targeted near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, to discriminate between green coffee beans of the Coffea arabica (Arabica) and Coffea canephora (Robusta) species from Java Island, Indonesia. The discrimination was conducted by measuring the caffeine and chlorogenic acid content in the beans using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The data related to both compounds was processed using linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Information about the diffuse reflectance (log 1/R) spectra of intact beans was determined by NIR spectroscopy and analyzed using multivariate analysis. UV-Vis spectroscopy attained an accuracy of 97% in comparison to NIR spectroscopy’s accuracy by selected wavelengths of LDA (95%). The study suggests that both methods are applicable to discriminate reliably among species.
