Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A new method is proposed to analyze the cholesterol-elevating cafestol and kahweol which allows their rapid and reliable determination in different coffee brews. The method involves the preseparation of the sample by high-performance liquid chromatography, the collection of the selected fraction, and its subsequent analysis by high-resolution gas chromatography using a programmed temperature vaporizer operated in the split mode as sampling system. Under the experimental conditions investigated, recoveries as high as 87% (cafestol) and 94% (kahweol) were achieved while detection limits equal to 0.06 and 0.04 ppm for cafestol and kahweol, respectively, were obtained. Examples are given comparing levels of cafestol and kahweol resulting from the same ground roasted coffee by different brewing methods, which show the lowest values for brews prepared from coffee bags.
