'The results we had so far look promising, we are upbeat,' said the coffee researcher.
Researchers at Instituto Agronomico de Campinas , a Brazilian coffee research institute, have been working on growing coffee beans that are naturally decaffeinated. The researchers involved in the project think this could have significant commercial potential.The researchers have started a decisive stage in a 20-year-long project to develop arabica coffee varieties, said areport. Arabica coffee beans contain almost 1.
In order to be considered decaffeinated, coffee beans must contain up to 0.10 percent caffeine. Coffee can be decaffeinated using four techniques: using water alone, using a mixture of water and solvents applied either directly or indirectly, or using water and “supercritical carbon dioxide,” as per the data from the NCA.
Genetic improvement is a relevant alternative to making genetically decaffeinated coffee available. This is what researchers at the IAC are doing, according to aIn 2004, IAC carried out artificial hybridizations, a process in which two genetically diverse plants were crossed. The cross was between Ethiopian plants, with 0.10 percent of caffeine, taken from the germplasm bank, and elite cultivars with normal contents of caffeine. From the plants created in the cross, individual plants with 0.
After studying and experimenting with the cross breeds over the years, the researchers will now select individuals, with caffeine contents up to 0.10 percent and commercially acceptable productivities, for cloning by somatic embryogenesis. The goal of the project is to “make a new clonal cultivar of arabica coffee available to coffee growers in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, whose main characteristic is that of being genetically decaffeinated.”It’s not just the most popular beverage in the world but also one of the key commercial products which are exported by developed economies. The house is divided when it comes to the health benefits of coffee.
