Abstract

Changes in contents of amino acids, caffeine, trigonelline, chlorogenic acid, and monosaccharides in green coffee beans during roasting were investigated. During roasting, amino acid contents of Arabica and Robusta coffees decreased by 30%, among which cysteine, serine, lysine, and arginine contents markedly decreased, whereas those of glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, and phenylalanine slightly decreased or increased. Caffeine contents of Arabica and Robusta were 1 and 2%, respectively, and remained unchanged during roasting. Trigonellin content of Arabica (0.87%-0.90%) was slightly higher than that of Robusta (0.74%), and 50 to 65% trigonellin degraded when green beans were heavily roasted. Chlorogenic acid levels of Robusta and Arabica were 4.82, and 4.38-4.66%, respectively. About 90% chIorogenic acid degraded with heavy roating. Total monosaccharide contents of Arabica and Robusta were 38.1-38.7 and 37.7%, respectively, and gradually decreased with roasting.

커피 품종별 커피원두 3종에 대해서 배정공정 전,후 변화되는 주요 화학적 성분인 아미노산, 카페인, 트리고넬린, 클로로겐산 및 단당류의 성분 변화를 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 아미노산 성분 변화에서는 Robusta 커피원두의 경우 Arabica에 비해서 총 아미노산, alanine 및 phenylalanine 함량이 많았으며, 배전공정중 총 아미노산의 분해정도는 Arabica 및 Robusta 모두 커피원두를 기준으로 약 30% 정도 감소하였다. 특히, cysteine은 화학적으로 분해되어 거의 존재하지 않았고, serine, Iysine 및 arginine 함량은 현저하게 감소하였으며, 이와는 정반대로 glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine 등은 배전공정중 감소폭이 적거나 또는 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 카페인 함량에서는 Arabica에서는 건조함량으로서 약 1.0%이었고 Robusta는 약 2.0%로 나타났으며, 배전정도에 따른 카페인 함량 변화는 거의 없었다. 트리고넬린 함량의 경우 Arabica는 건조함량으로서 0.87-0.90% 수준이었고 Robusta의 경우는 0.74%로 나타났으며, 배전정도에 따른 트리고넬린 함량을 분석한 결과 배전정도가 강해질 수록 Robusta의 경우 커피원두를 기준으로 약 65% 정도, 그리고 Arabica는 50% 정도 감소하였다. 클로로겐산 함량에서는 Arabica 의 경우 건조함량으로서 4.38-4.66% 수준이었고 Robusta의 경우는 4.82%로서 Robusta가 Arabica에 비해서 보다 많은 양을 함유하고 있었으며, 배전정도가 강해질수록 Robusta 및 Arabica모두 커피원두 대비 약 90% 이상 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 총단당류 함량에서는 Arabica 품종인 Colombia 및 Brazil의 경우 건조함량으로서 각각 38.08, 38.69%, Robusta의 경우 37.72%로서 Arabica가 Robusta에 비해서 총 단당류의 함량이 약간 많았으며, 배전정도별에 따른 단당류의 함량 변화는 배전정도가 강해질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다.
