Abstract
Trigonelline is a nicotinic acid related alkaloid abundant in coffee beans. The influence of
altitude variations on trigonelline and its precursor nicotinic acid content of beans of Robusta
coffee plants that collected from different elevations were investigated. Both nicotinic acid
and trigonelline contents were always higher at all stages of coffee fruit ontogeny from plants
grown at higher elevations. Maximum nicotinic acid and trigonelline content of 5.164 ± 0.131
mg and 975.8 ± 7.24 mg/100 g Fresh weight respectively was evident in stage V seeds (9
months DAF) of high altitude collected samples.
