Coffee is a complex chemical mixture composed of several chemicals. It is responsible for a number of bioactivities and a number of compounds accounting for these effects. Few of the significant bioactivities documented are antioxidant activity, anticarcinogenic activity, antimutagenic activity etc. Various compounds responsible for the chemoprotective effects of coffee are… Show more

“…Chlorogenic acid (CGA), which is a phenolic compound and a main component of coffee, and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a polyphenolic compound and a primary constituent of green tea, are considered to have beneficial properties for human health, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties (8)(9)(10). CGA has been documented to increase mineralization in rat tibia and improve mechanical properties of the femoral diaphysis (11).…”

“…O caveol (PubChem CID: 114778) e cafestol (PubChem CID: 108052) (Figura 1), principais representantes dos diterpenos no café, correspondem a 20% dos lipídios no grão e podem ser encontrados na forma livre ou esterificados com diferentes ácidos graxos, sendo a segunda forma a majoritária. [5][6][7] O interesse por estes compostos é reportado em diferentes estudos que investigam desde a contribuição à saúde pelo consumo de bebidas de café até a aplicação como parâmetro de qualidade, para identificação de espécies de café em blends comerciais. 8 Bioativos de importância pela reconhecida capacidade antioxidante e as propriedades anticarcinogênicas e anti-inflamatórias, tem sido ainda citada a aplicação de diterpenos em produtos cosméticos.…”
