- Observation A. flavus accounted for 7.21% relative density on green coffee beans.
- Observation Penicillium verrucosum accounted for 3.09% relative density on green coffee beans.
- Observation A. carbonarius accounted for 1.03% relative density on green coffee beans.
- Observation OTA was lowest in green coffee beans at 2.15 μg/kg.
- Observation OTA content was 2.76 μg/kg in roasted coffee.
- Observation OTA content was 8.95 μg/kg in soluble coffee.
- Observation AFs were highest in soluble coffee at 90.58 μg/kg.
- Observation AFs content was 33.61 μg/kg in roasted coffee.
- Observation AFs content was 9.07 μg/kg in green coffee.
- Intervention effect Low roasting followed by brewing reduced OTA by 58.74%.
- Intervention effect Medium roasting followed by brewing reduced OTA by 60.88%.
- Intervention effect High roasting followed by brewing reduced OTA by 64.70%.
- Intervention effect Low roasting followed by brewing reduced AFs by 40.18%.
- Intervention effect Medium roasting followed by brewing reduced AFs by 47.86%.
- Intervention effect High roasting followed by brewing reduced AFs by 62.38%.
- Intervention effect Bacillus simplex BS350-3 volatiles significantly inhibited AF synthesis by A. flavus on infected coffee beans.
- Intervention effect Bacillus simplex BS350-3 volatiles significantly inhibited OTA synthesis by A. carbonarius on infected coffee beans.
- Observation Quinoline, benzenemethanamine and 1-Octadecene were identified as antifungal molecules in BS350-3 volatiles.
- Recommendation The authors propose using microbial volatiles with roasting and brewing to reduce dietary mycotoxin exposure.
