torrefacto roasting process, but not by a protective effect of torrefacto
roasting against the degradation of phenolic compounds. This
agrees with the results of Lopez-Galilea et al. (2008) who do not
find any correlations between phenolic compounds and torrefacto
roast in commercial coffee blends. Thus, it could be said that torrefacto
roasting process hardly affects the final content of phenolic
compounds that seems to be more influenced by other factors such
as roasting degree, the variety of coffee, etc. (Farah et al., 2006).
