Some like it hot…and some insist on cold brew. Niny Rao knows that taste is subjective and has dedicated her research to learn more about the sensitive chemistry of coffee in order to give brewers the tools to make it to their liking. Rao is an associate professor of chemistry at Thomas Jefferson University; press play to hear her reveal the truth about whether the cold brew is actually less acidic than coffee brewed at higher temperatures, which coffee has more antioxidants, and to learn about the other variables that go into this important part of our daily grind. Contact Rao through email at niny.rao@jefferson.edu or visit her on Twitter @NinyRao.

Better Brewing Through Chemistry—Niny Rao—Thomas Jefferson University

In this episode, Niny Rao gives us an energizing chemistry lesson and shares findings from her research on the acidity and antioxidant activity of coffee. Rao, an associate professor of chemistry at Thomas Jefferson University, aims to provide home brewers with an understanding of coffee brewing chemistry so that they can apply that knowledge when customizing their own cup of joe.   You can find Rao on Twitter @NinyRao or email her directly at niny.rao@jefferson.edu. If you are a world traveler and a coffee lover, you can check out one of the international coffee expos in countries including Tokyo, Costa Rica, Brazil, or Thailand. There will also be a Specialty Coffee Expo in Portland, Oregon in April of 2020.

Chemistry in Your Cup—Niny Rao—Thomas Jefferson University

There’s a lot of claims about cold brew out there. It has less acid than hot coffee, it’s healthier, it has more caffeine, it can cure cancer….well that may be a stretch! Niny Rao wanted to learn more about a drink she loved, but realized cold brew wasn’t really being studied or researched in the scientific field. She and her colleague Megan Fuller have done not one, but two research studies breaking down cold brew. On this episode, Niny and I delve into her coffee passion and desire to study cold brew, break down her research studies, and study what the results mean for the cold brew industry. Read “The Effect of Time, Roasting Temperature, and Grind Size on Caffeine and Chlorogenic Acid Concentrations in Cold Brew Coffee” HERE  Read “Acidity and Antioxidant Activity of Cold Brew Coffee” HERE  Niny Rao would like to thank all the undergraduate research students who worked on both projects. “This could not have happened without their contributions.” To contact Niny, please email her at Niny.Rao@jefferson.edu
