Autenticiteti i ushqimit - Përcaktimi i shumës së 16-O-Methylkafestol, 16-O-Methylkahweol dhe derivateve të tyre në kafen e pjekur nga ¹H-qNMR

Food authenticity - Determination of the sum of 16-O-Methylcafestol, 16-O-Methylkahweol and their derivatives in roasted coffee by ¹H-qNMR

Scope

This document specifies a method for the determination of soluble 16-O-Methylcafestol and 16-O-Methylkahweol content (the sum of free forms and derivatives, e.g. fatty acid esters, henceforth abbreviated as 16-OMD = “diterpenes”) in roasted coffee (beans or ground), using quantitative proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-qNMR).
If complying with the experimental parameters described below, this test procedure has been proven for the following mass fraction range:
w16-OMD: 20 mg/kg to 2 000 mg/kg.
The mass fraction range can be expanded by suitable changes of the experimental parameters, e.g. a different weighed portion of ground coffee or the accumulation of more NMR-transients.
