Researchers at the coffee world are meeting in Bali, Indonesia to attend the greatest event (sic) in world coffee science. The twenty-third World Conference on Coffee Science, sponsored by ASIC (Association for Science and Information Café) addresses the main themes of the area as coffee and health effects of consumption of coffee on human physiology, the chemistry of coffee processing, genetics, quality, certification, cultural and sustainability.

The opening event was on Sunday, October 01 and was attended by the Minister of Agriculture of Indonesia. On Monday, were presented important work on coffee and health. The highlight was work that showed that moderate coffee consumption is beneficial in preventing cardiovascular disease, especially in women. Other good news comes from the beneficial association of coffee consumption in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease and combating the symptoms of disease, such as memory loss. Brazilian researchers presented papers on the antibacterial effect of coffee.

On Tuesday, two days, came the work on the chemistry of coffee. The complexity of the various chemical components that make up a cup of coffee was highlighted. Swiss researchers also compared the different aromas and flavors of coffee with an orchestra. A well-tuned orchestra is a pleasure for the consumer. Over 800 substances have been found in chemical analysis and many of them are related mainly to the aroma of coffee.

Researchers from Paraná presented a study examining the presence of lipids beneficial to human health in several varieties of coffee. Already researchers at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) presented an interesting paper that uses infrared spectroscopy to separate roasted and ground coffee beans originating from defective (PVA) rice not bad.


Brazil is represented at the event by researchers from ITB UFLA, UFMG, IAPAR, UFRJ and other institutions.
