“…These psychoactive effects depend on consumer characteristics like gender, body weight, age, and psychological condition. Caffeine intake is 10.36 mg/kg b.w./day maximum daily [5]. In this study, Gayo coffee has caffeine constituents of 1.14-1.70%, present in Table 1.…”

Aceh is one of the center of Indonesian arabica coffee which has unique taste and flavor. The variability of arabica coffee is very diverse due to soil, climate and altitude variations. Balittri-IAARD recently released arabica Gayo 1 variety originally from Central Aceh District. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the caffeine content and sensory differences of each Gayo 1 and Gayo 3 arabica coffee among a three-level grown altitude. Both varieties of coffee were grown at 900, 1300 and 1500 m asl in Central Aceh District. The sensory quality was tested by the cupping method following SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) protocols. The caffeine content in Gayo 1 and Gayo 3 ranged from 1.14-1.70%, whereas the value was inclined from 900 to 1300 m asl and turned down at 1500 m asl. Cupping analysis of Gayo 1 and Gayo 3 had scores> 80; it was categorized as specialty coffee. Coffee was grown at 900 and 1300 m asl had an excellent category with a cupping score of 85-89.99. Meanwhile, Gayo coffee, grown at 1500 m asl, had a very good specialty category.

“…The median caffeine intake in this study (1.21 mg·kg −1 ·day −1 ) is well below the adverse effect level (3 mg·kg −1 ·day −1 ) suggested by EFSA [ 13 ]. However, one-fifth (21.1%) of participants did exceed this amount daily; a three-fold increase over the 7% of New Zealand adolescents reported to exceed the safe level in 2008/2009 [ 10 ], and greater than the 8% reported among Icelandic 15-year-olds ( n = 3310) [ 24 ] and 12.2% Polish adolescents 16 to 18 years who exceeded this safe level ( n = 508) [ 25 ]. While some of this increase may be due to the inclusion of a wider range of caffeinated products or the emergence of products with a greater caffeine content, it may also represent an increasing group of high-caffeine consumers.…”

Secondary School Students and Caffeine: Consumption Habits, Motivations, and Experiences

Adolescents may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of caffeine due to a lack of tolerance, their small size, changing brain physiology, and increasing independence. Concerns about adolescent caffeine consumption relate to potentially serious physiological and psychological effects following consumption. Motivations driving caffeine intake are not well understood among adolescents but are important to understand to reduce harmful behavioural patterns. This study explored caffeine consumption habits (sources, amount, frequency) of New Zealand adolescents; and factors motivating caffeine consumption and avoidance. The previously validated caffeine consumption habits questionnaire (CaffCo) was completed by 216 participants (15–18 years), with most (94.9%) consuming at least one caffeinated product daily. Chocolate, coffee, tea, and kola drinks were the most consumed sources. The median caffeine intake was 68 mg·day−1. Gender (boy) and being employed influenced the source, but not the quantity of caffeine consumed. One-fifth (21.2%) of adolescents consumed more than the recommended European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) safe level (3 mg·kg−1·day−1). Taste, energy, and temperature were the main motivators for consumption, and increased energy, excitement, restlessness, and sleep disturbances were reported effects following caffeine consumption. This study provides information on caffeinated product consumption among New Zealand adolescents, some of whom consumed caffeine above the EFSA safe level. Public health initiatives directed at adolescents may be important to reduce potential caffeine-related harm.

“…(9) On the contrary, this was far lower than that reported by many previous studies. (1,3,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) This might be due the differences in age categories of the previous studies, reasons of intake, tools, and methods of assessment of daily intake, or differences in caffeine content of different products across different regions. Unlike adults whose major sources of caffeine are usually coffee and tea, followed by carbonated soft drinks, the preference of young people is for cola drinks, followed by tea and coffee.…”

“…It is widely available to adults, adolescents and even young children. (1) Naturally, caffeine is found in coffee, tea, and cocoa while synthetic caffeine is added in many products marketed as energy and performance enhancers such as dietary supplements, cola beverages, and energy drinks. (2) Moderate caffeine consumption is considered safe and has been approved by many regulatory agencies around the world (e.g., EFSA, FDA, Health Canada).…”

Background: Caffeine intake is common among adolescents especially young athletes for many reasons. Many young adolescents and athletes had mixed perceptions of caffeine safety. Aims:The aim of present study was to estimate mean daily caffeine consumption among young athletes, identify different caffeinated products commonly consumed by them, assess their perception towards caffeinated products in relation to athletic performance. Methods: A cross sectional approach using a predesigned interview questionnaire to collect data from 420 adolescent athletes, aged 13-18 years of both sexes, recruited from different sports was followed. Results:The mean caffeine intake from all sources (frequently cola drinks) was 47.3 ± 54.2 mg/day (0.9 ± 1.3 mg/kg/day). Total daily caffeine intake was positively correlated with training load (p<0.001). More than half (57.8%) of young athletes who took supplements or caffeinated beverages were advised to do so by a coach. Improvement of athletic performance, increase attention, and improvement of body shape were the common reasons for supplements and caffeinated beverages intake. Around 40% of young athletes perceived that intake of caffeinated beverages before training improves energy and attention, respectively during training. While 20.5% agreed that they reduce tension before training or competitions. Conclusion:The mean caffeine intake from all sources was considered safe. There is a positive relationship between total daily caffeine intake and perception that intake of caffeinated beverages before training improves energy and attention during training, and that they reduce the tension before training. Although, caffeine intake was within safe levels, young athletes should be aware of different sources of it to avoid negative side effects of its high intake.
