Description
Summary:While coffee beans have been studied for many years, researchers are showing a growing interest in coffee leaves and by-products, but little information is currently available on coffee species other than and . The aim of this work was to perform a targeted and untargeted metabolomics study on , and . The application of the recent high-resolution mass spectrometry-based metabolomics tools allowed us to gain a clear overview of the main differences among the coffee species. The results showed that the leaves and fruits of had a different metabolite profile when compared to the two other species. In , caffeine levels were found in lower concentrations while caffeoylquinic acid and mangiferin-related compounds were found in higher concentrations. A large number of specialized metabolites can be found in tissues, making this species a valid candidate for innovative healthcare products made with coffee extracts.
