Abstract

Castor bean allergen was identified in 3 samples of green coffee dust from different coffee roasting plants. Castor bean allergen was also found in 1 sample of cleaned, green coffee beans from a commercial source. No castor bean allergen was detected in samples of parchment coffee or cleaned, green coffee beans which were produced at a Guatemalan experiment station and were known to have had no contact with castor bean. Available evidence indicates that hazards resulting from contamination of green coffee with a castor bean derivative are significant only to those who are exposed to green coffee.
