The influence of green coffee type and origin on OA content was determined by analysis of 162 samples of green coffee beans from various countries(84 from Africa, 60 from America and 18 from Asia). The results showed that 106 of the overall samples were positive for OA with concentration ranging up to 48 mg/kg. African samples were more contaminated compared to samples from other origins in terms of frequency and level of OA. The highest concentrations observed were 18 and 48 mg/kg in two samples from The Congo.
