Many have heard that the composition and properties of green coffee make this product a good helper in the matter of losing weight. Of course, it does not help you lose weight, you will drink them cakes and cakes, but with the right attitude to the diet, this tool will speed up the receipt of the result. Consider what goes into green coffee and how it can help in weight loss.
Chemical composition of green coffee
It is believed that coffee was discovered in the 850's of the new era. It has been more than a thousand years. But this drink invariably finds its admirers in every era. And let the green coffee does not have such a smell and color as black, which has been roasted coffee, but its composition can be called truly unique.
First of all, substances in green coffee are:
- caffeine - 0,7-2,5%;
- protein substances - 9-19.2%;
- monosaccharides - 0,17-0,65%;
- pentosans - 5-7%;
- chlorogenic acid - 4-10,9%;
- tartaric acid - 0,4%;
- malic acid - 0.3%;
- arabinose, 1.8%;
- mannose - 20.8%;
- glucose - 6.8%;
- citric acid - 0.3%;
- caffeic acid - 0.2%.
It's over, if you're not a professional chemist, it's hard for you to draw conclusions based only on the components of the chemical composition. That's why we propose to decipher this information.
Green coffee - composition and properties
The most significant part in the composition of coffee is occupied by lipids - vegetable fats, which consist of many chemical compounds. As a rule, such substances are consumed even during the primary processing of grain.
About a quarter of the composition is soluble carbohydrates (fructose, galactose and sucrose). They allow coffee to stimulate human brain activity.
You probably noticed that the coffee contains several types of acids. All of them are very useful for the body, but only chlorogenic acid has special significance for losing weight. It is she who gives coffee such a pleasant, slightly astringent taste. It is worth noting that in no other plant is it contained as much as in coffee. When roasting, this substance is destroyed, so in black coffee this acid is much less than in green. This acid is involved in fat metabolism and helps stimulate weight loss.
In green coffee, as in the usual, there is caffeine - and in this respect coffee is also a record holder, since no plant has such a large amount of caffeine. Depending on the type of coffee, the amount of this substance can vary significantly. If you compare green and black coffee, then green caffeine is much less, because due to changes in the composition during roasting, the amount of this substance is significantly increased. That is why green coffee can be used in relatively large doses.
However, this small and safe for human dosing caffeine is enough to stimulate
The coffee contains a lot of different essential oils, which give him a pretty strong smell. In addition, these same substances allow the drink to have a rich taste. It is known that some of them have an antimicrobial effect and allow to fight colds and some other diseases.
To summarize, we can say that the composition of green coffee does indicate that this product can be successfully used in losing weight.
