Food Therapy: Coffee as Antioxidants

By Kyle J. Norton

Coffee may be used as functional food in improved antioxidant status in reduced risk of oxidative stress, irregular cells growth and reactive oxygen species causes of various types of disease, a joint study by renowned university study suggested.

Antioxidant is types of chemical compound inhibited the free radicals to protect the body against oxidative damage.
Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to University of British Columbia, Coffee expressed numerous capacity in free radical scavenger in balancing hydrogen and electrons, acted as metal ion pro-oxidant chelators and triggered antioxidant gene expression and protected against gastrointestinal oxidative stress......

In vitro, according to cell-free and cell-based assays, coffee intake demonstrated antioxidant capacity through its bioactive constituents. And in cellular levels, coffee components exhibited antioxidant activity to specific genomic events through antioxidant function in both animal and human.

Furthermore, the Antioxidant Capacity of Coffee study suggested that coffee intake showed a potential effect in reduced free radical damage against artery-clogging atherosclerosis and health problems like vision loss, cancer or chronic diseases, through bioactive phytochemicals in expression of antioxidants.

Lower  antioxidant status also displayed a cellular damage especially in people with a low consumption of vegetables...and coffee.

Interestingly, in the evaluated polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity of widely consumed beverages such as chamomile tea, yerba mate, a coffee blend (65% roasted:35% green), and coffee-like substitutes, researchers at the Institute of Food Science found that coffee showed an average polyphenol recovery of 78%. after gastrointestinal digestion,  in vitro.

In compared to Yerba mate, coffee demonstrated a similar phenolic composition, but more stable polyphenols displayment..

Dr.Baeza G, the lead auhtor said, " Regular consumption of the studied beverages provides considerable amounts of antioxidants which are relatively stable after simulated digestion, and thus have the potential to prevent oxidative stress-related disorder".

The finding evidences suggested that coffee may be considered as a functional food in increased antioxidant profile, through bioactive constituents activities against diseases caused by over expression reactive oxygen species(RSO).
