Roasting intensity of naturally low-caffeine Laurina coffee modulates glucose metabolism and redox balance in humans
Abstract Objective Coffee consumption is negatively associated with risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular mortality. Coffee roasting can greatly modify the quality-quantitative characteristics of bioactive compounds. We compared the effects of two different roasting intensities of the same natu...

Summary: | Abstract Objective Coffee consumption is negatively associated with risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular mortality. Coffee roasting can greatly modify the quality-quantitative characteristics of bioactive compounds. We compared the effects of two different roasting intensities of the same naturally low-caffeine Arabica coffee variety ( Laurina ) on glucose and lipid metabolism as well as oxidative stress. Methods We performed a double-blind, crossover intervention study. Fourteen healthy male volunteers consumed four cups daily of light roasted coffee (LRC) and dark roasted coffee (DRC), each for 1 wk (intervention period 1 and 2 respectively). One wk washout, with total abstinence from coffee and other possible caffeine sources, preceded each intervention. Data were collected at the end of washout and intervention periods. Results Changes between washout and intervention periods in glucose concentrations at 2 h post–oral glucose tolerance test, were significantly lower after DRC than LRC intake (−0.6 ± 0.3 and 0.4 ± 0.3 mmol/L, P |
