Abstract:Metabolomics techniques have already been used to characterize two of the most common coffee species, C. arabica and C. canephora, but no studies have focused on the characterization of green and roasted coffee varieties of a certain species. We aim to provide, using NMR-based metabolomics, detailed and comprehensive information regarding the compositional differences of seven coffee varieties (C. arabica) of green and roasted coffee bean batches from Nicaragua. We also evaluate how different varieties react t… Show more
“…We decided to address also foodomics in our issue, which refers to metabolomic approaches applied to foodstuff for investigating topics related to nutrition, fraud detection and traceability of the geographical origin and production/processing procedures of food. In this regard, in our issue, we decided to publish an NMR-based metabolomic study based on water extracts of green and roasted coffee beans of different cultivars from three distinct Nicaraguan farms [7]. We think that this study can show well the potential and versatility of NMR metabolomics.…”
Even though metabolomics is about 20 years old, the interest in this “-omic” science is still growing, and high expectations remain in the scientific community for new practical applications in biomedicine and in the agricultural field [...]
