To gain comprehensive insight into the interactions of key coffee odorants, like the Strecker aldehydes, acetaldehyde, propanal, methylpropanal, 2- and 3-methylbutanal, and methional, and the nonvolatile fraction of coffee, an untargeted metabolomics approach was applied. Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-time of flight (TOF)-mass spectrometry (ESI-) profiling followed by statistical data analysis revealed a marker substance for a coffee beverage spiked with acetaldehyde with an accurate mass of 217.0703 [M - H]-. This compound could be identified as a reaction product of quinic acid (QA) and acetaldehyde linked by acetalization at the cis-diol function of QA. Consequently, the acetalization of aldehydes, QA, 5-O-caffeoyl quinic acid (CQA), and quinic acid γ-lactone (QAL) was investigated by means of model reactions, followed by synthesis, isolation, and structure elucidation via UPLC-TOF-MS and 1D and 2D NMR techniques. UHPLC-MS/MSMRM screening and the quantification of aldehyde adducts in coffee beverages revealed the presence of QA/acetaldehyde, -/propanal, -/methylpropanal, and -/methional reaction products and CQA/acetaldehyde, -/propanal, -/methylpropanal, -/2- and 3-methylbutanal, and -/methional and QAL/acetaldehyde adducts for the first time, in concentrations of 12-270 μg/L for QA/aldehydes, 5-225 μg/L for CQA/aldehydes, and 62-173 μg/L for QAL/acetaldehyde. The sensory characterization of the identified compounds showed bitter taste recognition thresholds of 48-297 μmol/L for CQA adducts and 658 μmol/L for QAL/acetaldehyde, while the QA adducts showed no bitter taste (2000 μmol/L).

Biomass-Based and Oxidant-Free Preparation of Hydroquinone from Quinic Acid

A biomass-based route to the preparation of hydroquinone starting from the renewable starting material quinic acid is described. Amberlyst-15 in the dry form promoted the one-step formation of hydroquinone from quinic acid in toluene without any oxidants or metal catalysts in 72 % yield. Several acidic polymer-based resins and organic acids as promoters as well as a variety of reaction conditions were screened including temperature, concentration and low- and high-boiling-point solvents. A 1:4 (w/w) ratio of quinic acid/Amberlyst-15 was determined to be optimal to promote hydroquinone formation with only traces of a dimeric side-product. A mechanism has been proposed based on the decarbonylation of protonated quino-1,5-lactone that is supported by experimental and computational calculation data.
