Development of Technological Routes for Extraction of Bioactives from Coffee Film and Assessment of the Potential of the Phytochemical Profile

Resumo

The project proposes exploring the potential of coffee skins as a source of valuable compounds due to the excess coffee on the market and the devaluation of prices. Traditionally, the extraction of compounds from coffee skins occurs using methods such as pressing or the use of solvents. However, these methods may have limitations, such as low yield or toxicity. Coffee skin is rich in substances that interest various sectors, such as antioxidants, chlorogenic acids, and dietary fiber. The project seeks to develop coffee skin extraction routes, aiming to increase the yield and quality of the extracted compounds while avoiding their degradation. Furthermore, we intend to evaluate the potential of the photochemical profile of the materials obtained.
