    6. Compounds were identified based on their retention indices (RI) and mass spectra.
      1. RI of each compound was calculated by injecting n-alkanes mixtures (C8-C40) under the same conditions, which were compared with data from the literature.
      2. The mass spectra were compared with those from the NIST database.

    1. The chemical composition of coffee dictates its flavor and aroma, meaning its cup profile, and consequently its price during trading and export
    2. However, to date, no study has been carried out to characterize the quality and composition of coffee blends with different cup and roasting profiles, a subject that deserves attention.
    3. 1H NMR and NIR spectroscopy are complementary techniques, where 1H NMR provides metabolite fingerprints and complements the molecular information obtained with NIR spectroscopy.
    4. The coffee cherries were from the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 crops and were obtained by dry process.
    5. The green beans were mechanically dried (CIA Lilla, Brazil) to a moisture content of 12% and dehusked using a coffee hulling machine (CIA Lilla, Brazil).
    6. The samples of green Arabica coffee were previously classified by the cup as hard, rioysh, and rio, while Robusta was classified as excellent.
    7. A total of forty-eight genuine samples (0.5 kg per sample) were collected and considered in this study, representing the industrial process where tons of coffee were being produced. From these:
      1. fifteen samples were collected for coffee blend 1
      2. fifteen were from coffee blend 2
      3. fifteen were from coffee blend 3
      4. From coffee blend 4, which is a superior coffee, three samples were collected due to the lowest production in the sector.
    8. Four quality parameters (granulometry, color, infusion time, and moisture content) were evaluated in all coffee blend samples (n = 48) as is usually done in the industry, using methods described previously in the literature for the same samples
    9. Granulometry was measured using 100 g of each sample on a vibrating platform (Bertel, Caieiras, Brazil) for 10 min and 2 mm in amplitude.
    10. Color measurement was performed on a Minolta colorimeter (Chroma Meter CR-410, Japan) with standard D65 lighting and normal colorimetric viewing angle.
    11. To evaluate the infusion time, coffee powders (100 g) were extracted with filtered water (1000 mL) at 92 ◦C by percolation with Melitta 103 filter papers (Guaíba, Brazil).
    12. Each coffee beverage (n = 48) was prepared for the cupping procedure: the coffee powders (100 g) were extracted with filtered water (1000 mL) at 92 ◦C by percolation with Melitta 103 filter papers (Guaíba, Brazil)
    13. NIR spectroscopy and a 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach.
      1. These techniques were included to complement the characterization of the samples, obtaining more specific information on the metabolite composition of coffees with 1H NMR and exploring the potential of portable NIR to monitor coffee quality in a faster and more accessible way

    1. The spent coffee and tea grounds were selectively collected and dried in an oven at 333 K (dry atmosphere) overnight.
    2. Coffee and tea consumption produces large amounts of solid waste such as spent coffee grounds (SCG), coffee silver skin, tea leaves, and used tea bags [4,5,22]. These types of wastes are commonly disposed of via landfills or via thermochemical processes such as incineration and pyrolysis
    3. The coffee and tea wastes can be easily converted into value-added products, by pyrolysis processes due to the high concentration of sugars, fibers, and proteins and compounds such as fatty acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin
    4. Due to the large abundance of SCG and their pyrolysis behavior, the authors concluded that coffee waste has great potential as a valuable bioenergy feedstock.

    1. Fig. 1. Illustration of fractionation of spent coffee ground (SCG) with N,N dimethyl cyclohexylamine (CyNMe2)
    2. Spent coffee ground (SCG) was fractionated with a tertiary amine (N, N dimethyl cyclohexylamine, CyNMe2) to obtain a carbohydrate fraction rich in dietary fiber, a phenolic fraction made of chlorogenic acids (CGAs), and a lipid fraction mainly consisted of palmitic and linoleic acid.
    3. Spent coffee ground was obtained from the university cafeteria at the South Dakota State University (Brookings, SD, USA). The SCG consisted of different coffee blends, and it was used without any pretreatment.
    4. Spent coffee ground was analyzed for moisture content, total protein, total lipids, total carbohydrates, and ash content.
      1. The moisture content was determined gravimetrically using the vacuum oven method, according to the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) method 968.11
      2. Kjeldahl method (method 984.13) was used to determine total protein
      3. Soxhlet extraction (method 920.39) was used to determine the total fat content.
      4. Ash content was determined by incinerating the samples at 550 ◦C for 4 h (method 942.05).
      5. Total carbohydrates were determined by difference.
