Abstract
Fiavonoids (Rutin. Quercetin, Kaempferol and Isorhamnetin), and other
natural antioxidants [Vitamins E and C} contents in two Abyssinian coffee (Berry and
Harar beans} which are dominating the coffee market in the Gulf area were
determined.
In the green state, Harar beans had a higher flavonoids content than Berry
beans. Although vitamin C processed the same trend like in flavonoids, vitamin E
showed a higher content in Elen'y beans. The dominant species of flavonoids was
Rutin. In green and roasted Harar beans. the amount of Rutln were 0.2? and 0.23
gf100g respectively.
The highest content of vitamin C (229.9 mgikg) was found in green Harar
beans, while it was 33.2 mgfkg for vitamin E in Green Elerry beans.
It is observed that roasting significantly diminished the content of these
antioxidant components.
The contribution of coffee beverage to the Recommended Daily Allowance
(RDA) of flavonoids. vitamin E and C in the daily meal pool was evaluated. According
to the actuai consumption of coffee beverage per day in the arabian diet. it was found
that 35.9% and 41.0% of flavonoids. 12.5% and 14.?% of vitamin C and 11.8% and
15.3% of vitamin E could be supplied by drinking {=1 liter) roasted Berry and Harar
coffee, respectively.
