Abstract

The development of peroxides during storage of roasted coffee seeds and powder, and of coffee oil extracted from the roasted coffee powder has been investigated. The antioxygenic properties of freshly roasted coffee powder and its constituents, quinic and caffeic acids, have been determined and compared with those of propyl gallate and compounded B.H.A. (mixture of B.H.A., propyl gallate and citric acid). No correlation has been observed between staleness and development of peroxides in roasted coffee powder, and oil from freshly roasted coffee is more stable than that obtained from stale or green coffee. Roasted coffee powder suppresses peroxide formation in groundnut oil during storage and the antioxygenic properties of coffee develop only on roasting.
