The effect of roasting intensity and extraction time of coffee bean on the antioxidant activity of roasted ground coffee extract was investigated. Coffee was roasted at 185oC using a rotating fluidized bed roaster for 5.17 (medium roasting) and 6.00 (dark roasting) min, respectively. Both roasted coffees were extracted in 90oC hot water according to the increased extraction time. Until 20 min, an increase in extraction time significantly increased soluble solute, caffeine, brown color, and phenolic compound. The soluble solid and caffeine contents showed no significant difference among medium- and dark-roasted coffee extracts. The brown color intensity and free radical scavenging activity of dark-roasted coffee extract were higher than those of medium-roasted coffee. On the contrary, the total phenolic content of dark-roasted coffee extract was lower than that of medium-roasted coffee. The free radical scavenging activity of coffee extracts showed a positive correlation with brown color intensity, as well as total phenolic content.

In our country, the number of coffee shops has steadily increased, reaching approximately 15,000 in 2013 from 1,254 in 2006. Adding to increase of coffee shops, customers' preference of roasted beans and extraction to ready-made coffee or instant coffee has lead to rapid expansion of roasted coffee market. In this study, a prototype of the ultrasonic automatic packer that is consist of coffee beans input device, coffee beans filling device, filter paper input device, vertical & horizontal ultrasonic sealing device, conveyor input device, input sealing device of outer packaging, cutting device, and control system besides related devices has been designed and produced.

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-α 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.

This study performed a basic test to evaluate the energy value of food waste and ground coffee residue, and measured the calorific value of mixtures of food waste and ground coffee in the mass ratios of 1 : 1, 1 : 2, and 2 : 1. According to the results of this study, food waste, ground coffee, and their mixtures are technically viable as energy resources because they all meet Korea’s quality criteria for Bio-SRF. The proximate analysis results for food waste and ground coffee mixture showed 51.6% moisture, 46.2% combustibles, and 2.2% ash content. The high calorific value and low calorific value measured by the SE-C5500 Bomb Calorimeter were 4,602 kcal/kg and 3,927 kcal/kg, respectively. Heavy metal analysis showed the absence of mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As). Therefore, food waste, ground coffee residue, and their mixture sample met Korea’s quality criteria for Bio-SRF, which are technically and economically viable for use as bio-solid fuel (Bio-SRF).
