Abstract This report reviews studies concerning the susceptibility of green coffee beans to mycotoxin contamination. Included are investigations on normal mold flora, toxin production in inoculated beans, effect of experimental roasting on aflatoxin, ochratoxin, and sterigmatocystin, and survey on the presence of these toxins in commercial green coffee. Because of the extremely low frequency of findings, the low levels of toxins, and the experimental data showing 70–80% destruction by the roasting process of toxin added to green coffee, further study on this topic has been discontinued.

Isolates from Aspergillus ochraceus obtained from green coffee beans were cultured on rice and water. After 20 d of growth the cultures were extracted with chloroform and the extracts were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography for ochratoxin A (OA), ochratoxin B (OB), xanthomegnin (X), viomellein (V) and vioxanthin (VX). Forty-three percent of the isolates produced OA at an average level of 397 μg of toxin/g rice, 17% produced OB at an average level of 312 μg/g, and 84% produced X, V, and VX at an average level of 281, 417 and 386 μg/g, respectively. The highest levels of toxin production were OA, 2088 μg/g; OB, 3375 μg/g; X, 1562 μg/g; V, 2514 μg/g; and VX, 2054 μg/g. VX has not previously been reported as an A. ochraceus metabolite.

This study aim at determining the activity of ethanol extract of Robusta green coffee beans as an antiproliferation agent in MCA-B1, MCM-B2, and Vero normal cell lines as a control. Ethanol extract of Robusta green coffee beans was obtained by maceration method, bioactive compounds in the extract were tested by phytochemical screening methods, testing levels of antioxidants were tested by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, cytotoxicity effects (LC50) were tested by the method Brine Shrimp Lethallity Test (BSLT) and antiproliferation activity were carried out by counting the number of cells after being tested with several extract concentrations namely 100, 250, 400, 550, 700 and 850 ppm and doxorubicin as a positive control with a concentration of 100 ppm. The results showed that the ethanol extract of Robusta green coffee beans contained flavonoids and tannins, had very strong antioxidant levels with IC50 values of 40.9923 ppm, cytotoxicity effects obtained LC50 values of 430.64 ppm, and the highest antiproliferation activity was achieved at a concentration of 850 ppm at 69.58 % in MCM-B2 tumor cells, 60.46% in MCA-B1 tumor cells, and 14.2% in Vero normal cells. Based on the results, the ethanol extract of Robusta Lampung green coffee beans has antiproliferation activity on the test tumor cells and is relatively non-toxic to normal cells.
