| Sumario: | Coffee is one of the most important trade goods in the world. In some of the developing countries that produce coffee the income from coffee export generates almost 50 percent of the total income for the country. Coffee is also one of the most consumed drinks worldwide. The nearly 25 million coffee growers in the world are located in tropical countries, were they produce around 8 million ton of coffee each year. When coffee is produced it generates waste. The purpose of this literature study is to find out if the spent coffee grounds contain any compounds of value for the industries and if there are any economic benefits in taking advantages of these compounds. One advantage of trying to exploit the compound and substances found in spent coffee grounds are that the availability of the raw material. For every ton of non-roasted coffee beans there will be about 650 kg of grounds produced. Spent coffee grounds proved to be rich in many useful substances such as fatty acids, antioxidants and dietary fiber, which can be used in the food industry in different ways. It is of great importance that the waste from the coffee production is reduced, because the great amounts produced today have a negative impact on our environment. |
