TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to compile recent information on the functional properties of coffee, coffee beans and by-products in terms of the associated potential health benefits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of low positive and high temperatures on coffee physiology are discussed; some insights about effects of negative temperatures are also presented; and finally, the last section deals with shading in harsh environments as a mean of buffering climatic fluctuations, as well as of increasing environmental sustainability in cof fee exploitation.
Abstract: Overall, drought and unfavourable temperatures are the major climatic limitations for coffee production. These limitations are expected to become increasingly important in several coffee growing regions due to the recognized changes in global climate, and also because coffee cultivation has spread towards marginal lands, where water shortage and unfavourable temperatures constitute major constraints to coffee yield. In this review, we examine the impacts of such limitations on the physiology, and consequently on the production of mainly Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which account for about 99 % of the world coffee bean production. The first section deals with climatic factors and the coffee plant’s requirements. The importance of control ling oxidative stress for the expression of drought and cold tolerance abilities is emphasized in the second section. In the third section, we examine the impacts of drought on cell-water relations, stomatal behaviour and water use, photosynthesis and crop yield, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, root growth and characteristics, and on drought tolerance. In the fourth section, the impacts of low positive and high temperatures on coffee physiology are discussed; some insights about effects of negative temperatures are also presented. Finally, the last section deals with shading in harsh environments as a mean of buffering climatic fluctuations, as well as of increasing environmental sustainability in cof fee exploitation.

TL;DR: This review is organized into sections dealing with climatic factors and environmental requirements, root and shootgrowth, blossoming synchronisation, fruiting and cup quality, competition between vegetative and productive growth and branch die-back, and photosynthesis and crop yield.
Abstract: After oil, coffee is the most valuable traded commodity worldwide. In this review we highlighted some aspects of coffee growth and development in addition to focusing our attention on recent advances on the (eco)physiology of production in both Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which together account for 99% of the world coffee bean production. This review is organized into sections dealing with (i) climatic factors and environmental requirements, (ii) root and shoot growth, (iii) blossoming synchronisation, fruiting and cup quality, (iv) competition between vegetative and reproductive growth and branch die-back, (v) photosynthesis and crop yield, (vi) physiological components of crop yield, (vii) shading and agroforestry systems, and (viii) high-density plantings.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-electrode cell with a specific capacitance as high as 368 F g−1 was observed, with rectangular cyclic voltammetry curves and stable performance over 10,000 cycles at a cell potential of 1.2 V and current load of 5 A G−1.
480 citations
TL;DR: Brazilian coffee samples examined during the 1999 and 2000 coffee harvest seasons for the presence of ochratoxin A (OA) and fungi with the potential to produce it found several critical points were found, relating both to local climatic conditions and the drying processes used.
