Recent studies on recyclable materials in the packaging have an increased attention due to the eco-friendly policies of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in worldwide. Roasted coffee beans mostly packed in multi-layered films and papers according to their expiration date. To satisfy both recyclability and barrier properties, researches have been continued on paper-based packaging materials to enhance their properties. In this study, packaging materials for coffee beans are developed by laminating bioplastic films on papers. The tests of packaging materials were performed with mechanical properties, gas and water vaper permeability, recyclability and storage quality for coffee beans. Compared to other samples, the paper/bioplastics-based coffee package composed of starch coated papers and two bioplastics showed the lowest barrier properties, comparable mechanical strength and ability to maintain the quality of roasted coffee beans. Thus, it could be a good alternative for multi-layered packages for roasted coffee beans.

Twenty different kinds of roasted and ground coffees, 9 domestic and 11 foreign coffee products, were analyzed using a headspace gas chromatographic technique. Among many aroma compounds, acetaldehyde, acetone, carbon disulfide, isobutylaldehyde, 2-methylfuran, 2-methylbutanol and isovaleraldehyde were mainly analyzed for aroma pattern. Roasting color was determined by Photovolt colorimeter. The average roasting color of the foreign coffee was 54 and 47 for domestic coffee. It means that color of the domestic coffee was darker than that of the foreign coffee. The correlation of coefficient between roasting color and 2-methylfuran was 0.712.

This study investigated changes in the physicochemical characteristics and coffee flavors of coffee beans under different roasting conditions. Four different kinds of roasted coffees were analyzed using a headspace gas chromatographic technique. The moisture content and total acidity of roasted coffee decreased whereas the pH and weight loss (%) increased, as coffee beans were roasted at higher temperatures. The Hunter's color values of the roasted coffee (indicating L (lightness) and b (yellowness)) decreased as the roasting temperature of the coffee beans increased, but a (redness) value only increased with light roasting. We also noted that the color of the Arabica coffee was darker than that of the Robusta coffee. The aroma compounds, acetaldehyde, acetone, 2-methylfuran, 2-methylbutanol, 2-methylpyrazine, furfural, 2-propanone, furfuryl alcohol, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and furfuryl acetate were mainly analyzed. A sensory evaluation of all light-roasted coffees had flavor and sourness and those of all medium-roasted coffees had heaviness and finishness.

In vitro antioxidant activities and neuronal cell protective effects of ethanol extract from roasted coffee beans were investigated. Colombia arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) green beans were roasted to give medium ($230^{\circ}C$, 10 min), city ($230^{\circ}C$, 12 min) and french ($230^{\circ}C$, 15 min) coffee beans. Total phenolics in raw green beans, medium, city and french-roasted beans were $8.81{\pm}0.05$, $9.77{\pm}0.03$, $9.92{\pm}0.04$ and $7.76{\pm}0.01$ mg of GAE/g, respectively. The content of 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, the predominant phenolic, was detected higher in medium-roasted beans than others. In addition, we found that extracts from medium-roasted beans particularly showed the highest in vitro antioxidant activity on ABTS radical scavenging activity and FRAP assays. To determine cell viability using the MTT assay, extracts from medium- roasted beans showed higher protection against $H_2O_2$-induced neurotoxicity than others. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage was also inhibited by the extracts due to prevention of lipid peroxidation using the malondialdehyde (MDA) assay from mouse whole brain homogenates. These data suggest that the medium-roasting condition to making tasty coffee from Columbia arabica green beans may be more helpful to human health by providing the most physiological phenolics, including 5-O-caffeoylquinic acids.

Brazil (Monte Alegro) and Ethiopia (Sidamo) coffee beans were roasted at three different roasting levels(light, medium, and dark), and were analyzed for color, total phenolic compound, caffeine, and chlorogenic acid contents. The total phenolic and caffeine contents remained unchanged during roasting. The chlorogenic acid levels of the Brazil and Ethiopia samples decreased with roasting. The antioxidant activities were measured using DPPH and ABTS. The radical scavenging activities of the light-roasted and dark-roasted coffee beans were similar. The flavor patterns of roasted coffee beans were analyzed using an electronic nose system based on gas chromatography. The data revealed that the flavor patterns of the roasted coffee beans could be separated via discriminant function analysis (DFA) method. The taste of the roasted coffee beans was analyzed using an electronic tongue system. The sourness and sweetness were decreased with roasting.

Antioxidative activities of brown materials extracted from the three kinds of roasted coffee beans by water were examined. Antioxidative activity was assessed by the AOM at $120^{\circ}C$ and the oven test at $60^{\circ}C$ on lard. The brown materials of them showed the considerable antioxiant activity. The brown materials of Colombian coffee beans were more effective than those of Robusta or Brazil beans. The antioxidative activities of brown materials from Colombian coffee beans roasted at $210^{\circ}C$ increased in proportion to the browning intensity up to 16 minutes of roasting time, but the antioxidant activities of the brown materials upon further roasting time decreased gradually. In changes of extraction temperature from $30^{\circ}C\;to\;180^{\circ}C$ on the coffee beans roasted at $210^{\circ}C$ for 16 minutes, the antioxidative activities of brown materials did not change as the extraction temperature increased to $180^{\circ}C$. The antioxidative activities of the coffee extracts were thought to be caused by browning reaction materials produced during the roasting process only.

Changes in flavor characteristics of roasted coffee in 6 package models during storage were investigated by GC/MS analysis and sensory evaluation to establish the criteria of the shelf-life of the roasted coffee in three flavor quality-'fresh', 'satisfying' and 'minimally acceptable' levels. In direct headspace method of GC/MS, 47 volatile compounds were analyzed and the light volatile compounds were reduced sharply at initial stage of storage and faster in the package with air. The correlation between % retention of 2,3-butanedione and overall aroma of roasted coffee showed good linear-relation, of which correlation coefficient (R) were from 0.999 to 0.904 depending on package models, indicating that 2,3-butanedione would be an index chemical for evaluating the freshness of roasted coffee. In sensory evaluation of 6 package models during storage, roasted whole beans (RB) and roasted and ground (RG) coffee in air-package were preserved in 'fresh quality' for $0.5{\sim}1$ week, 'satisfying quality' for $2{\sim}3$ weeks and 'minimally acceptable quality' for 12 weeks, while roasted whole beans in valve-package and roasted and ground coffees in vacuum-package, nitrogen-package and oxygen absorbent-package were preserved in 'fresh quality' for $2{\sim}4$ weeks, 'satisfying quality' for $12{\sim}24$ weeks and 'minimally acceptable quality' for 52 weeks. The oxygen absorbent-package was slightly less effective than other three methods.

To investigate differences in fatty acid composition in green coffee beans and roasted coffee beans, the extracts of two beans were subjected to analysis of fatty acid composition by GC and HPLC. The results showed that palmitic and liolneic acid were the main fatty acids of coffee oil and their contents were about 40%. Minor components, such as capric acid, lauric acid and myristic acid were detected in both samples by GC, but nut HPLC.

To enhance the physiological activities of roasted coffee (RC), 30 kinds of green coffee beans (GCB) with different cultivating areas and varieties were fermented with Monascus ruber mycelium (MR) by solid-state culture. After the dried MR-fermented GCB was subjected medium roasting, each RC was extracted with hot-water. Among the hot-water extracts, the highest yield was the hot-water extract of RC from MR-fermented Indonesia Mandheling GCB (15.5%). However, the hot-water extract of RC from MR-fermented Ethiopia Sidamo GCB showed significantly higher polyphenolic contents (3.08 mg GAE/100 mg) and ABTS free radical scavenging activity (25.41 mg AEAC/100 mg). Meanwhile, the hot-water extract of RC from MR-fermented Vietnam Robusta GCB showed not only the effective inhibition of $TNF-{\alpha}$ level (73.7% inhibition of LPS-stimulated control) from LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells but also significant inhibition of lipogenesis (63.5% inhibition of lipid differentiation control) in 3T3-L1 pre-adipose cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that roasted coffees from Ethiopia Sidamo and Vietnam Robusta green coffee beans fermented with Monascus ruber mycelium using solid-state culture could have industrial applications as functional coffee beverages.

To develop a novel application for roasted ground coffee residue, hot water extract of roasted ground coffee residue was used in manufacturing salted mackerels. First, DPPH radical scavenging effect of roasted ground coffee residue extract was measured. As a result, roasted ground coffee residue extract showed high activity of about 92% in the concentration of 0.4 to 4 mg/mL. Thereafter, the salted mackerel was treated with 5, 10 and 15% of roasted ground coffee residue extract and its shelf-life and quality was investigated. The salted mackerels treated with 15% roasted ground coffee residue extract showed significantly low TBARS and VBN as compared to the control. In sensory evaluation, the salted mackerels treated with 10 and 15% roasted ground coffee residue extracts scored higher as compared to the control. In conclusion, roasted ground coffee residue extract increased the shelf-life of salted mackerel and improved the sensual quality by inhibiting lipid oxidation.
