Coffee husk is a fibrous mucilaginous material representing the major residues from the handling and processing of coffee. Currently, coffee husk is discarded which contributes to environmental pollution. Dry and semi-dry coffee husk were extracted by hot infusion and the polyphenol profile was studied by UHPLC and Q-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Free radical scavenging activity in the infusion was between 26.61 at 31.33 mmol Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)/kg, as measured by the assay with ABTS and DPPH radical. The results indicated that coffee husk contained 367.45 and 396.04 g/kg of total dietary fiber in dry and semi-dry sample, respectively. While the infusions contain exclusively soluble dietary fiber 0.64 and 0.98 g/L. The methanol extracts of coffee husk presented antimicrobial activity of P. camemberti , P. expansum and P. roqueforti , A. flavus and A. niger , many of their mycotoxins producers. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) values for the Penicillium s strains ranged from 6.3 to 50 g/L, whereas on the Aspergillus strains the data detected ranged from 25 to 50 g/L, respectively. This study indicates the possible exploiting of this coffee by-product as potential natural health promoting and preservative ingredient.
