Analysis of Coffee and Cocoa

2.25 billion cups of coffee in several variations are consumed each and every day. We analyse green coffee, roasted coffee, soluble coffee, chicory/grain extracts, as well as coffee and cocoa-containing beverage powders, in accordance with the highest quality standards. The mould toxin ochratoxin A (OTA), as well as process contaminants such as acrylamide and furan, which also play a decisive role in such cases. The addition of Robusta coffee to 100% Arabica coffee can be detected by analysing the parameter 16-O-Methylcafestol.
