Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of total dissolved solids (TDS), extraction yield (EY), and grinding on total polyphenols (TP), total flavonoids (TF), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in a fermented specialty coffee prepared using different methods of filtration (Hario V60, Aeropress, and the French press). The concentrations of antioxidant compounds differed between the TDS treatments and the methods of preparation. The TP and TF with Hario V60 were the highest at a TDS of 1.84%. The TP with Aeropress was at its highest at a TDS of 1.82%. TAC with the French press was at its highest at a TDS of 1.58%. EY was at its highest with fine grinding (Hario V60 > French press > Aeropress at 25.91%, 21.69%, and 20.67%, respectively). French press coffees had the highest TP (p = 0.045). Hario V60 coffee had the highest TF, but the TAC of the coffees remained comparable for all methods. EY and TDS influenced TP, TF, and TAC in the coffee beverages using the finest grinding size for all methods of preparation. The finer the grind, the higher the antioxidant activity of the beverages. Measuring coffee extractions should be one of the most important processes in fermented coffee preparation.
