Ultraviolet spectroscopic studies and the prediction of the feathering of cream in filter coffees
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
Cream feathering was studied in sixteen samples made from six brands of filter coffee. We have used a predictive rule, deduced from our studies of instant coffees, to determine the likelihood of feathering occurring in filter coffee samples upon the addition of coffee cream. The predictive rule makes use of 1,3,4,5-tetra-hydroxycyclohexane carboxylic acid-3-[(3,4) dihydroxycinnamate] (chlorogenic acid) concentration in the coffee, and the ratio of ultraviolet absorbances at 261 nm and 340 nm. We found good agreement between the predicted and observed behaviour of samples of filter coffee and conclude that the predictive rule is reliable for both instant and filter coffees. The effect of increased fat content in the cream was also studied.
