WORKSHOP: Unveiling Metabolome Diversity in Coffee Varieties

Sunday, January 14, 5:20 PM | Session Selection: Coffee Genomics

Abstract:

Coffee is one of the most consumed non-alcoholic beverages in the world and an understanding of its nutritional values and differences between varieties and throughout its processing is important. A key technology to achieve this understanding is metabolomics. Using an innovative metabolomics approach, the Widely-Targeted Metabolomics, and one of the largest plant metabolite database, Metware Biotechnology is able to gain a detailed view of the metabolic profiles from different varieties and processing methods. Using this technology, we have looked at the metabolic profile of coffee berries from four Coffea arabica variety Bourbon sub-varieties differing in berry color. The four sub-varieties showed diverse nutritional aspects: those with yellow fruits showing higher coumarins, lignans, and alkaloids; those with orange fruits showing the highest organic acids and terpenoids; and those with purple fruits showing the highest content in phenolics and flavonoids. With insights from metabolomics, coffee can be marketed with related health benefits specific to the variety/sub-variety in addition to their unique aroma and flavor.
