Chlorogenic Acid Beverage Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CGA and placebo test beverages were prepared to be indistinguishable on the basis of appearance and flavour, and were canned (100 ml). All CGA isomers are presented according to the IUPAC nomenclature (9) . The test beverage contained 0 or 600 mg of CGA, which consisted of CQA (68 %), FQA (14 %) and diCQA (19 %) (Table 1). CGA were prepared from green coffee beans using hot water extraction followed by spray drying and girding. After activated carbon filtration, caffeine was not detected (<0•5 mM). The CGA composition in test beverages was measured by HPLC with a UV detector (325 nm). All peaks of the isomers were confirmed by LC-MS (34) . The standard, 5-CQA, was purchased from Sigma, and other standards, 3-CQA, 4-CQA, 3-FQA, 4-FQA, 5-FQA, 3,4-diCQA, diCQA and 3,5-diCQA, were obtained by repeated fractionations of green coffee bean extract (purity >96 %, confirmed by LC-UV detection and 1 H-NMR) using preparative chromatography with an octa decyl silyl (ODS) column (34) . Both beverages were caffeine-free, and the energy contents were 29 kJ/100 ml (7 kcal/100 ml) and 8 kJ/100 ml (2 kcal/100 ml) in the CGA and placebo beverages, respectively. Table 1. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) compositions of the test beverages (mg/100 ml)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
