The major components of coffee

• Caffeine: It has a particularly strong bitter taste and can stimulate the central nervous system, heart and respiratory system. The right amount of caffeine can also reduce muscle fatigue and promote the secretion of digestive juices. Help the body excrete excess sodium ions from the body. But excessive intake can cause caffeine poisoning.
• Tannic acid: After boiling, the tannic acid will decompose into pyrolignic acid, so the coffee brewed too long will taste worse.
• Fat: the most important fats are acid fat and volatile fat.
• Acid fat: Fat contains acid and its strength will vary according to the type of coffee.
• Volatile fat: It is the main source of coffee aroma. It is a substance that can emit about 40 kinds of aroma.
• Protein: The main source of calories, the proportion is not high. Most of the protein in the ground coffee will not dissolve out when making coffee, so the intake is limited.
• Sugar: Green coffee beans contain about 8% sugar. After baking, most of the sugar is converted into caramel, which makes coffee brown and combines with tannic acid to produce sweet taste.
• Fiber: The fiber of green beans will be carbonized after baking, and the combination of caramel will form the color of coffee.
• Minerals: Contains a small amount of lime, iron, phosphorus, sodium carbonate, etc.
