摘要:During the last decade researches concerning the essential role of coffee in healthand disease prevention showed an increased development. In the present study weobtained extracts from three green Arabica coffee varieties which demonstrated asignificant antioxidant potential due to the presence in their composition of twobioactive compounds, caffeine and chlorogenic acids. The content and antioxidantactivity of bioactive compounds were evaluated by qualitative and quantitativeanalyses using spectrophotometric and chromatography methods. The chlorogenicacid was found in high concentrations, being followed by gallic, p-coumaric andferulic acids. The highest caffeine contents were found in the green coffee extractsof the Supremo–Columbia and Top Quality–Kenya products.
