Authenticity Coffee: Does your product contain 100% Arabica?

Authenticity Coffee: Does your product contain 100% Arabica?

From the appearance, it is not possible to determine whether a coffee powder is made from high-quality Arabica or cheaper Robusta coffee.

An analytical differentiation is possible via the marker substance 16-O-Methylcafestol. Through an HPLC method, the specific marker for Robusta coffee can be detected even in the smallest quantities.

In our Tentamus laboratories, we regularly conduct the analysis of 16-O-Methylcafestol.

If you have any questions, our customer advisors are happy to assist you.
