NMR Identification and Quantification of Galactinol in Green Coffea arabica: Implications for Traceability and Adulteration.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Among coffee low-molecular-weight carbohydrates, galactinol plays an important role in coffee physiology and quality, having received attention also for its potential use as a marker of geographical origin. Nevertheless, data on the occurrence of this sugar in green coffee beans remain limited. In this study, galactinol was isolated for the first time from green Coffea arabica beans and unambiguously identified by high‑field NMR spectroscopy. A quantitative HPLC-RID screening of 100 green Arabica coffee samples from 16 geographical origins showed that galactinol was detected in 31% of the samples, with consistent occurrence in Ethiopian coffees but sporadic or absent detection in several other origins. Notably, the chromatographic analysis revealed a previously unreported co-elution of galactinol with ciceritol, a chickpea-derived cyclitol of relevance for coffee adulteration detection. These results highlight both the potential and the limitations of galactinol as a geographical marker and stress the importance of combining chromatographic and structure‑specific spectroscopic approaches to ensure reliable interpretation in coffee traceability and authenticity studies.
