Session: General Poster:

An accelerated stability study was conducted on FutureCeuticals’ coffeeberry extract product, NeuroFactor^® (CoffeeBerry 40% Chlorogenic Acids (CGA)), in powder form at two different storage temperatures/relative humidity (RH) (25°C/ 60% RH and 40°C/ 75% RH) for up to six months. The objective of this study was to determine if any functional changes in the product’s chemical properties existed during storage that might influence quality. Chemical analyses were performed to determine the stability of whole coffee cherry extract. Results showed that the active chemical components of the NeuroFactor® powder that were evaluated were stable during storage. The antioxidant capacity, the total chlorogenic acid (CGA) content and the individual chlorogenic acid components, 5-CQA, 4-CQA or 3-CQA, the trigonelline content and the caffeine content for this product were determined to be stable for up to six months. The stability of NeuroFactor^® powder suggests that it can be stored at room temperature (25°C) for 2 years without any effects on its active chemical components.
