Antioxidative effect of coffee melanoidins
Melanoidins from roasted coffee show strong antioxidative effects depending on the way the coffee is treated. In this study, it was possible to evaluate and describe the antioxidative potential of coffee melanoidins and to obtain an idea of the chemical source of this effect. The influence of roasting parameters was measured and quantified. Medium roasted coffee showed the strongest potential. Polymer Maillard reaction products have a remarkable antioxidative potential though it is exceeded by low molecular phenolcarbonic acids. The contribution of free chlorogenic acid isomers to the total antioxidative effect of roasted coffee equals 25 percent depending on the content. Despite the decomposition of chlorogenic acids in coffee during the roasting process,an increase of the antioxidative capacity is observed.
