Coffee (Coffea sp.) is a
perennial plant widely cultivated in many tropical countries. It is a cash crop
for millions of small farmers in these areas.
The coffee beverage treasured by
millions of people around the world results from roasted seeds of trees belonging
to the botanical family Rubiaceae, genus Coffea. Coffee plants were
discovered in Africa and eventually disseminated to countries throughout the
world. Along this journey, several new cultivars have been created from
selected varieties to fulfil the need for plants with higher productivity,
resistance to diseases and superior cup quality, and over time, new wild
varieties have been discovered as well. Currently, over 100 species within the
genus Coffea are catalogued. Despite this diversity, only two
species are actually of great importance in the world market, C.
arabica L. and C. canephora Pierre. Knowing the genetic origin
of coffee varieties and cultivars within these two species is important to
understand the main differences and similarities in their chemical composition
and flavor.
Since its discovery, coffee has attracted the attention of explorers and botanists from all over the world, especially in the second half of the 19th century, when many new species were discovered. Because of the great variation in the types of coffee plants and seeds, botanists have failed to agree on a precise, single system to classify them or even to designate some plants as true members of the Coffee genus.

Dried seeds "beans" are
roasted, ground, and brewed to make one of the two most important beverages in
the western world. In its native Ethiopia, used as a masticatory since ancient
times, it is also cooked in butter to make rich flat cakes. In Arabia a
fermented drink from the pulp is consumed. Caffeine has been described as a
natural herbicide, selectively inhibiting germination of seeds
of Amaranthus spinosus. Caffeine is a widespread additive in
over-the-counter diet pills, pain killers, and stimulants.
Coffee Essential Oil in Pharma
Coffea arabica, a source
of caffeine, is an important cash crop in Cameroon, and a decoction of the
leaves in water is used as an antimalarial remedy. Coffee berry (Coffea arabica L.) is a
natural ingredient that has promising efficacy in the topical treatment of
oxidative stress-induced pathologies (e.g., premature skin aging, dermatoses),
and its seed oil is widely used in cosmetic formulations. Indeed, it was
recently shown that Coffea arabica leaf extract, naturally
rich in polyphenols, can prevent photo-damage in skin.
Essence of Coffee Essential
Oil
Coffee is widely used as a
flavoring, as in ice cream, pastries, candies, and liqueurs. Source of
caffeine, dried ripe seeds are used as a stimulant, nervine, and diuretic,
acting on central nervous system, kidneys, heart, and muscles. Indonesians and
Malaysians prepare an infusion from dried leaves. Coffee pulp and parchment
used as manures and mulches and is occasionally fed to cattle in India. Coffee
with iodine is used as a deodorant.
