Combined Effect of Red Wine and Mocha Pot Coffee in Mild Vascular Cognitive Impairment

ObjectivesModerate daily mocha pot coffee intake has been associated with better mood and cognition in patients with mild vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Similarly, moderate red wine consumption has shown protective effects on cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. The aim of this study was to explore the synergistic relation between red wine and coffee intake on mood and cognitive status in mild VCI patients at risk for dementia. MethodsA total of 300 non-demented older patients with mild VCI were asked for coffee and red wine consumption and administered with the 17-items Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the Stroop Color-Word Interference Test (Stroop T), as well as the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and the Instrumental ADL to measure their mood status, cognitive performance, and functional independence. Linear regression models were used to test the association between variables. ResultsModerate wine drinkers tended to show the best Stroop T score at any level of coffee consumption; conversely, heavy wine consumers performed worse at the Stroop T, especially in patients reporting high coffee intake. Moderate drinkers of both coffee and wine showed the lowest HDRS scores. Finally, a progressive increase in MMSE score was evident with increasing coffee consumption, which peaks when combined with a moderate wine consumption. ConclusionsDaily mocha pot coffee and red wine intake seem to be synergistically associated with global cognition, executive functioning, and mood status in patients with mild VCI; the association was not linear, resulting in a protective direction for moderate intake and detrimental for heavy consumption. Future studies are needed to further corroborate the present findings and the potential long-term protective effects of these dietary compounds over time.

Synthesis of graphene nanosheets from coffee ground waste and its incorporation to mixed-phase TiO2 as photocatalyst in anthracene degradation

The increasing level of coffee consumption in Indonesia causes a significant amount of coffee ground waste as landfill, leading to serious environmental problems on account of phenol derivatives and acidic compounds as its constituents. Containing high carbon content, waste coffee ground is a favourable biomass candidate to be converted into carbon-based material, such as graphene nanosheet (GN). Having wide surface area, graphene derivatives can be used to modify surface of many materials, such as TiO2. The aim of this study is to synthesize graphene-modified TiO2 with a mixed anatase:rutile phase (9:1) and to analyse its photocatalytic activity towards the photodegradation of anthracene, in comparison with unmodified TiO2. UV-DRS analysis showed a significant decrease in the band gap of TiO2/GN-A (2.78 eV) compared with TiO2 (3.00 eV), leading to an increase in photocatalytic activity (Kt TiO2 = 7.26 × 10-4 min−1; Kt TiO2/GN-A = 3.43 × 10-3 min−1). All in all, the synthesized photocatalyst materials presented promising potential to be applied as photocatalysts in photodegradation of organic compounds.

The association between the amount and timing of coffee consumption with chronic kidney disease in diabetic patients.

Previous studies have suggested that diabetic patients should align their food and nutrient intake with their biological metabolic rhythm. However, the optimal timing of coffee consumption to prevent the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients remains unknown. This study aims to examine the association between the amount and timing of coffee consumption and CKD prevalence in diabetic patients. We recruited a nationally representative sample of 8564 diabetes patients from NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) from 2003 to 2018. Coffee intake was assessed using a 24 hour dietary recall and categorized into different time periods throughout the day: dawn-to-forenoon (5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.), forenoon-to-noon (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.), noon-to-evening (12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), and evening-to-dawn (6:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.). Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between the amount and timing of coffee consumption and the prevalence of CKD in diabetic patients. After adjusting for potential confounders, diabetic patients who had the status of coffee consumption throughout the day had a lower prevalence of CKD compared to those who did not (OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-0.99). In terms of the timing of coffee consumption, diabetic patients who consumed coffee or had higher levels of coffee consumption from dawn-to-forenoon had a lower incidence risk of CKD (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77-0.98; OR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.70-0.98). Conversely, diabetic patients who consumed higher levels of coffee during the noon-to-evening and evening-to-dawn periods had an increased incidence risk of CKD (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.07-1.71 and OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.01-1.64, respectively). These observations remained robust across different participant subtypes. Our results indicated that diabetic patients who consumed coffee from dawn-to-forenoon had a lower risk of developing CKD, while those who consumed coffee from noon-to-evening or evening-to-dawn had an increased risk.

Relationship Between Coffee Consumption Habits and Farmers’ Blood Glucose Levels in Jenggawah Village, Jenggawah Subdistrict, Jember Regency

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder and a major global problem. Coffee contains several bioactive compounds, such as caffeine, chlorogenic acid, trigonelline, cafestol, and kahweol, associated with a reduced risk of type 2 DM. This study aimed to assess the relationship between coffee consumption habits and blood glucose levels of farmers in Jenggawah Village, Jenggawah Subdistrict, Jember Regency. We used a cross-sectional study design. The sample of this study was 137 farmers who were taken by purposive sampling. Assessment of coffee consumption habits was conducted using a questionnaire. At the same time, data on random blood glucose levels were obtained from medical records of the Bakti Sosial Akbar dan Pengobatan Gratis Agromedis activities in Jenggawah Village in June 2022. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskall-Wallis test, and multivariate analysis using linear regression. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in random blood glucose levels between groups based on the variable type of coffee consumed (p=0.212), the level of coffee consumption (p=0.211), and the amount of sugar added to the coffee (p=0.086). However, the linear regression test results showed that the amount of added sugar in coffee had the greatest relationship with blood glucose levels compared to other independent variables (p=0.031). In conclusion, there was no relationship between coffee consumption habits and random blood glucose levels of farmers in Jenggawah Village. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

The Effect of Economic Factors on Coffee Consumption in Rukungiri District, South-Western Uganda

Rukungiri District production and marketing department has pursued campaigns to educate the public about the health benefits of coffee, including its high antioxidant content, potential to prevent certain malignancies, and potential to lower type 2 diabetes risk. Despite these efforts, the District still has a low level of coffee consumption. This study tried to determine whether economic variables could be responsible for the low consumption. Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods and a cross-sectional survey research design, this study was able to quickly assess the relationship between the study variables. Simple random and purposeful sampling methods were used to choose a sample of 123 respondents. The thematic analysis method was utilized to assess the qualitative data, while SPSS Version 23.0 was used to analyze the quantitative data. Based on the study's aims, quantitative data were presented in tables as descriptive statistics, correlations, and regressions. The study discovered a substantial positive association between economic parameters and coffee intake (r = 0. 876, P.01). Coffee consumption is influenced by the economic status in terms of higher incomes, wages, and general standards of living because these factors have a tendency to affect people's consumption habits. The study also came to the conclusion that raising the economic standing of residents of the Rukungiri District is what will drive up coffee consumption.

Coffee consumption and associations with blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol and echocardiographic measures in the general population

Coffee, next to water the most widespread beverage, is attributed both harmful and protective characteristics concerning cardiovascular health. This study aimed to evaluate associations of coffee consumption with cardiac biomarkers, echocardiographic, electrocardiographic parameters and major cardiovascular diseases. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 9009 participants of the population-based Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS), enrolled between 2016 and 2018 median age 63 [IQR: 55; 69] years. Coffee consumption was classified into three groups: < 3 cups/day (low), 3–4 cups/day (moderate), > 4 cups/day (high). In linear regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and additives, high coffee consumption correlated with higher LDL-cholesterol (β = 5.92; 95% CI 2.95, 8.89; p < 0.001). Moderate and high coffee consumption correlated with lower systolic (β = − 1.91; 95% CI − 3.04, − 0.78; p = 0.001; high: β = − 3.06; 95% CI − 4.69, − 1.44; p < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (β = − 1.05; 95% CI − 1.67, − 0.43; p = 0.001; high: β = − 1.85; 95% CI − 2.74, − 0.96; p < 0.001). Different levels of coffee consumption did neither correlate with any investigated electrocardiographic or echocardiographic parameter nor with prevalent major cardiovascular diseases, including prior myocardial infarction and heart failure. In this cross-sectional analysis, high coffee consumption correlated with raised LDL-cholesterol levels and lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, major cardiovascular diseases including heart failure and its diagnostic precursors were not associated with coffee consumption, connoting a neutral role of coffee in the context of cardiovascular health.

Business Valuation Using Discounted Cash Flow Method in Restaurant Industry (Case Study: Coffee Shop XYZ)

The level of coffee consumption continues to increase from year to year due to the influence of third wave coffee, this also affects the sales of Coffee Shop XYZ which continue to increase. Departing from this success, management wants to open two new branches, namely in Purwakarta and in Subang through raising funds on the equity crowdfunding platform. That’s why Coffee Shop XYZ needs steps for company valuation to find out the business value and share price that Coffee Shop XYZ will provide. Coffee Shop XYZ’s company valuation assessment uses absolute and non-absolute valuation methods, where the absolute valuation method uses discounted cash flow with terminal value, while the non-absolute valuation method uses a relative model which compares Coffee Shop XYZ’s financial ratios with similar companies in the same industry. , namely the restaurant. Based on the results of the study using the absolute valuation method, it was found that Coffee Shop XYZ had an enterprise value of Rp 19.930.457.260, with a share price of Rp 49.706,38 and 390.000 outstanding shares. Meanwhile, based on the non-absolute method, the EV/EBIT, P/E and P/B ratios indicate that Coffee Shop XYZ is undervalued, meaning that the business will generate greater profits, and the business is considered not too high-risk for investment. It also has a fair share price and the ratios show its ability to distribute dividends to investors. In conclusion, based on Coffee Shop XYZ’s valuation, it is known as a declining overvalued company. Even so, Coffee Shop XYZ will still provide positive residual income.

Coffee Drinking and Adverse Physical Outcomes in the Aging Adult Population: A Systematic Review.

Declining physical functioning covers a prominent span of later life and, as a modifiable driver to be leveraged, lifestyle plays a critical role. This research aimed to undertake a systematic review investigating the association between levels of coffee consumption and declining conditions of physical functioning during aging, such as sarcopenia, frailty, weakness, falls, and disability, while trying to explain the underlying mechanisms, both from a metabolic and social angle. The literature was reviewed from inception to May 2022 using different electronic databases, not excluding the grey literature. Two independent researchers assessed the eligibility of 28 retrieved articles based on inclusion criteria; only 10 met the eligibility requirements. Different levels of coffee consumption were considered as exposure(s) and comparator(s) according to PECO concepts, while middle age was an inclusion criterion (40+ years). No limitations were set on the tool(s) assessing physical functioning, type of dietary assessment(s), study setting, general health status, country, and observational study design (cohort, cross-sectional). The cross-sectional design outnumbered the longitudinal (90%, n = 9/10). The overall quality rating was judged poor (70%) to good (30%). It was found that higher exposure to coffee drinking is strongly associated with better physical functioning outcomes, and the findings showed consistency in the direction of association across selected reports. Countering physical decline is a considerable challenge in easing the burden of population aging. For preventive models that aim to allow a better lifestyle, it has to be kept in mind that increased coffee consumption does not lead to poor physical functioning.

Strategi Penguatan Identitas Kopi Desa Ciater Kabupaten Subang

The level of coffee consumption in Indonesia has developed very rapidly in the last decade. The many variants of coffee that are widely circulated in the market have led to increased consumer interest from various circles in coffee products. However, ironically, coffee farmers often do not feel the positive impact of the high trend of coffee consumption because their harvests are forced to be fused with other coffee products produced in factories. This is because the coffee does not have a strong identity, so it does not have a high bargaining position and value in the eyes of both producers and consumers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the strategy of strengthening the identity of the village coffee. Data collection was carried out in May – December 2019 through interviews, FGDs, observations and documentation. This research approach uses qualitative methods. This study uses a SWOT analysis by analyzing coffee commodities' internal and external factors. The results show that the strategies that can be used to establish coffee identity are strengthening farmers' social capital, utilizing information technology, training and mentoring farmers in business development, and coordinating between farmer groups and stakeholders in the supply chain.

The association of coffee consumption with the risk of osteoporosis and fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The associations between coffee consumption and the risk of osteoporosis and fracture remain inconclusive. We aimed to better quantify these associations by conducting meta-analyses of observational studies. Relevant studies were systematically searched on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Embase Database up to November 25, 2021. The odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was pooled and a dose-response analysis was performed. Four studies with 7114 participants for osteoporosis and thirteen studies with 391,956 participants for fracture incidence were included in the meta-analyses. High versus low coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of osteoporosis [pooled OR (95% CI): 0.79 (0.65-0.92)], while it was non-significantly associated with fracture incidence [pooled OR (95% CI): 0.86 (0.67-1.05) at hip and 0.89 (0.42-1.36) at non-hip]. A non-linear association between the level of coffee consumption and hip fracture incidence was shown (P = 0.004). The pooled RR (95% CI) of hip fracture risk in those who consumed 1, 2-3, 4, and ≥ 9 cups of coffee per day was 0.92 (0.87-0.97), 0.89 (0.83-0.95), 0.91 (0.85-0.98), and 1.10 (0.76-1.59), respectively. The significance in the association between coffee consumption and the hip fracture incidence decreased in those studies that had larger sample size, higher quality, and more adjustments. A dose-dependent relationship may exist between coffee consumption and hip fracture incidence. The effect of high versus low coffee consumption was influenced by study designs. Further studies with dedicated designs are needed to confirm the independent effects of coffee consumption on bone health.

Review of Various Influential Factors in the Production of Robusta Coffee Effervescent Drink Tablets

Coffee is one of Indonesia's leading plantation commodities, which is ranked third in the world. Currently, coffee-based drinks have become a lifestyle in the millennial era. The high interest in coffee affects the economy of the community. Various efforts were made to further encourage the level of coffee consumption, especially in the form of beverages. On the other hand, it is necessary to diversify the product by highlighting the technology side, such as making effervescent which is easier, more practical, and can be enjoyed directly with cold water. Effervescent is known as a product that can cause gas bubbles as a result of the reaction of acids and bases when dissolved in water. The resulting gas bubbles are carbon dioxide which gives a sparkling effect (a taste sensation like sparkling water). The use of coffee as an effervescent raw material is related to its taste, bioactive compounds, and antioxidants. Coffee extract powder can be made from robusta and arabica coffee roasted at medium level with low-temperature crystallization, spray drying, freeze drying, and vacuum drying. Other materials that need to be added such as acid sources, bases, fillers, and binders can affect the effervescent characteristics such as tablet hardness, moisture content, hygroscopicity, and dissolution time. The recommended composition is citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, dextrin, and PVP (Polyvinilpyrrolydone).

646Coffee, Brain Volume and Risk of Dementia and Stroke

Abstract Background Coffee is a highly popular beverage worldwide, containing caffeine which is a central nervous system stimulant. The aim was to examine whether habitual coffee consumption is associated with differences in brain volumes or the risk odds of dementia or stroke. Methods Prospective analyses of habitual coffee consumption were conducted in 398,646 participants (age 37-73 years) within the UK Biobank, including 17,702 participants with volumetric MRI information. We examined associations between coffee consumption and brain volume using covariate adjusted linear regression, and with odds of dementia and stroke using logistic regression. All participants were free of dementia and stroke at baseline. We obtained 4,333 incident dementia and 6,181 incident stroke cases. Results There were inverse linear associations between coffee consumption and total brain (β per cup -1·42, p = 1·4x10-8), grey matter (-0·92, p = 5·2x10-10), white matter (-0·50, p = 0·002) and hippocampal volumes (-0·01, p = 0·009), but no evidence to support associations with white matter hyperintensity volume (-0·01, p = 0·72). After full covariate adjustment, consumption of &amp;gt; 6 cups/day of coffee was associated with 53% higher odds of dementia compared to consumption of 1-2 cups/day (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.28, 1.83), with less evidence for an association with stroke (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.00, 1.37, p = 0.055). Conclusions High coffee consumption was associated with smaller total brain volumes and increased odds of dementia. Key messages The findings suggest caution at higher levels of coffee consumption, however further studies are required to establish causality, and to explore the clinical relevance of brain volume changes.

Effect of Coffee Consumption on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Incidence, Prevalence and Risk of Significant Liver Fibrosis: Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

Background and aim: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Given the anti-fibrotic and antioxidant properties of coffee, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to provide updated results on the impact of coffee consumption on NAFLD incidence, prevalence, and risk of significant liver fibrosis. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in MEDLINE (OvidSP) and Scopus from January 2010 through January 2021. Relative risks for the highest versus the lowest level of coffee consumption were pooled using random-effects models. Heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated using the Higgins’ I2 statistic and Egger’s regression test, respectively. Results: Eleven articles consisting of two case-control studies, eight cross-sectional studies, and one prospective cohort study were included in the meta-analysis. Of those, three studies with 92,075 subjects were included in the analysis for NAFLD incidence, eight studies with 9558 subjects for NAFLD prevalence, and five with 4303 subjects were used for the analysis of liver fibrosis. There was no association between coffee consumption and NAFLD incidence (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.63–1.25, p = 0.48) or NAFLD prevalence (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.76–1.02, p = 0.09). The meta-analysis showed coffee consumption to be significantly associated with a 35% decreased odds of significant liver fibrosis (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.54–0.78, p < 0.00001). There was no heterogeneity (I2 = 11%, p = 0.34) and no evidence of publication bias (p = 0.134). Conclusion: This meta-analysis supports the protective role of coffee consumption on significant liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. However, the threshold of coffee consumption to achieve hepatoprotective effects needs to be established in prospective trials.

Evaluation Of Gmp And Recommendation Of Haccp At Sme Robusta Coffee In Tanggamus, Lampung

Coffee was a type of beverage that widely consumed and favored by Indonesians. The level of coffee consumption in Indonesia increases every year. Lampung is one of the largest coffee producing provinces in Indonesia with Tanggamus being the 2nd highest coffee-producing district in Lampung. This has led to the growth of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) of coffee at Tanggamus area, one of which was the processing of Robusta ground coffee. These SME produced robusta coffee to be marketed throughout Indonesia and often export to customers abroad. Therefore, SME owners must maintain the quality and quality of coffee by implementing GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). This causes the need for evaluation of GMP at SME Tanggamus ground coffee to ensure product quality and quality as well as Yeast and Mold Plate also Total Plate Count testing to determine the level of product safety. In addition, there we also gived some recommendations for the application of the HACCP system to SME. Based on the results of observations on the application of GMP at SME Robusta Tanggamus Ground Coffee, there are 12 elements that are checked according to the requirements and there are 2 elements that should have an effort to improve. The results of YMP and TPC tests on Tanggamus robusta ground coffee products showed that the product did not contain mold, yeast, and microbes. Based on the recommendations for the application of the HACCP system, regular observations of the water used for washing coffee beans are required.

The Association Between Coffee Consumption and Metabolic Syndrome in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Previous meta-analyses that found an inverse association between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome pooled data from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, which could lead to potentially misleading conclusions. Hence, this work aimed to reassess this association by analyzing data from the 2 types of studies separately and including recent studies. Online databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Plus, and Science Direct were searched for relevant studies published up to July 2020. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were included if published after 1999, reported both effect estimates and CIs, and presented results adjusted for confounding variables. Data of the highest coffee consumption level in each study, as well as those of medium consumption levels in studies with ≥3 consumption categories, were pooled using random-effect models, with sex-stratified and sex-adjusted results being analyzed separately. Results were obtained based on data from 13 cross-sectional studies involving 280,803 participants and 2 longitudinal studies involving 17,014 participants. The overall sex-adjusted association of the highest consumption level was not significant (n=9 studies; OR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.70, 1.10; I2: 91.5%) and the 2 longitudinal studies both yielded no association. Subgroup analysis revealed inverse associations in both males and females, as well as in Caucasians with medium coffee consumption (n=4 studies, OR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.93; I2: 0%). Although residual confounding could affect the results of this meta-analysis, our findings suggested with a low certainty that coffee consumption may not be associated with metabolic syndrome, a finding that is different from those of previous meta-analyses and could be due to variation in characteristics of study participants. More longitudinal studies are also needed to further assess the temporal association between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome. This meta-analysis was registered at https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero as CRD42018110650.
