Abstract
The aim of the study was to characterize the thermal properties of coffee silverskin and fat extracted from the material by using differential scanning calorimetry, modulated differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry. Additionally, the thermokinetic parameters, oxidative stability and fatty acid composition of the extracted oil were defined. Thermal decomposition of the studied coffee roasting by-product under oxygen occurred in three defined stages. The most significant changes in weight were observed in the region of 200–500 °C and correspond to polysaccharide decomposition. These results are in agreement with the data obtained from the differential scanning calorimetry curve. On the curve course of silverskin, two main exothermic peaks can be observed with a maximum at 265 and 340 °C. These exothermic events represent the transitions of hemicellulose and cellulose. Fat extracted from silverskin turned out to be a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids with the recommended n-6 to n-3 ratio reaching the value 4:1. The studied fat was characterized by low oxidative stability. Considering the obtained results, it can be stated that thermal analysis can provide fast and reliable data concerning the composition and properties of coffee silverskin and coffee silverskin oil.
