Coffee Bean Components Introduction

Coffee Bean Components Introduction

Health and Beauty Benefits of Coffee Components:

This point is particularly important (!)

① The chlorogenic acid contained in coffee has the unique antioxidant effect characteristic of polyphenols, offering significant benefits for health and beauty. Polyphenols are well-known in the red wine industry, and in fact, the polyphenols contained in coffee are similar to those found in red wine.

② Chlorogenic acid is increasingly gaining attention for its effectiveness in controlling the accumulation of body fat.

③ The niacin component in coffee helps maintain the health of skin and mucous membranes. When combined with amino acids in the body to form tryptophan, it becomes a component that creates substances such as serotonin and melatonin, which contribute to mental stability.

Caffeine:

It has effects such as stimulating alertness, providing stimulation, and acting as a diuretic. Appropriate consumption can enhance computational ability and physical performance. Excessive caffeine intake is harmful to the body.

The Bitterness of Coffee:

Generated through the caramelization of sugar components and carbonization of organic substances due to roasting, it should also be accompanied by a sweet sensation derived from the sugar components.

The Acidity of Coffee:

The acidity comes from organic acids produced during roasting, which is why acidity cannot be detected in raw bean form. If coffee develops unpleasant acidity, the possibility of lipid oxidation should be considered.

The Body of Coffee:

The body of coffee should come from lipid components. When the oil content in roasted coffee beans is highly extracted, a richer body is produced. However, lipids are also prone to rancidity over time, which can affect taste and aroma.

The Aroma of Coffee:

Chlorogenic acid (polyphenols) are closely related to the complex aroma of coffee, while reactions between lipids and acids during roasting also produce aromatic compounds.

Knowledge Point:

Light roasting emphasizes acidity and flavor. If the roasting process is not handled properly, it may result in astringency and harshness, while the body and complexity of the coffee may feel lower.
