Reason
of Selection of Value of Coffee
The
topic or the plant which I have selected for my paper is Coffee plant, I chose
this plant because I have a keen interest in this plant. I am a big lover of
coffee and I always prefer coffee over tea or any other drink. I believe that
there are number of things that I already know about this plant but still I am
eager to find out much more about this coffee plant and this paper is one of
the best way for me to dig out for all of the information in best ways. These
days we see number of different people who love to have coffee cup in their
hand plus the demand of this plant is also increasing day by day. So I thought
this is the best way to find unique and important facts about this plant.
Coffee
is the common name of this plant and it is being used by everyone in common
language all across the world because this is easy to be pronounced and anyone
can do it easily without getting any problem. Scientific or the Botanical name
for this coffee is, Coffea arabica.
This plant is native to the Ethiopia but now this plant is being cultivated in
many different equatorial areas as well. Now it is also being cultivated in the
Africa, South America, Central America, West Indies, Pacific Islands and
South/East Asia as well.
This
coffee plant in actual is the genus of a flowering plant in a family being
called as the Rubiaceae. Specie of this Coffea are like small trees or even in
the form of shrubs that are native to the tropical and the southern Africa
along with the Tropical Asia. Seeds of some such species are called as the
coffee beans that are being used to give flavor to some of the beverages and
other food products as well.
As
we already talked about this coffee plant that it is a kind of shrub or a small
tree that is of 1-7 meters in height. Opposite leaves of this plant are mostly
bright and oblong plus the leaves also have some of the prominent veins on both
of the sides which one can even see with the naked eye as well, it means that
there is no use of microscope to see these veins and one can see their presence
in the leaves even with the simple eye. This plant also get some of the flowers
that have a beautiful fragrance and they are found in the tight clusters that
is present on the leaf axils. Origin of this plant is basically from Ethiopia
but now it is also being cultivated in other countries as we have already
talked above, countries like, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and many more.
Main
active ingredients of this coffee plant are methylated derivatives of
Xanthines, Caffeine is also present in it and the ratio is (0.6-2.2%) along
with it some traces of theophylline and theobromine are also present.
Caffeine
is available in the whole plant but it is not found in the roots and seeds.
This coffee also have some of the minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium
along with some of the organic acids as well like, chlorogenic or the acid by
the name of caffeoylquinic.
When
the beans of coffee are not being ripped fully and they are in a partially
ripped form, it contains chlorogenic acid, glycosides along with the presence
of trigonelline that becomes the nicotinic amide while in the process or phase
of roasting.
Coffee
is the drink that is being made up of coffee beans and they are the roasted
fruit of the Coffea arabica bush. One can drink coffee in many ways, hot or
cold, in milk or even in water as well. It depends on the choice of a person
entirely.
Most
of the common people drink this coffee just to release their mental as well as
the physical stress or fatigue along with increasing the mental alertness as
well. Coffee is a kind of prevention measure for the Parkinson disease,
Dementia, Alzheimer disease. This is also used in different countries for the
prevention of gout, gallstone, type 2 diabetes and even some kinds of the
cancer as well.
Rectally
this coffee is being used as the enema for the treatment of cancer. Coffee
enemas are also used as the part of the “Gerson Therapy”. In this Gerson
Therapy, patients those who have cancer are being treated by the help of
caffeinated coffee in the form of enemas after every four hours and this
process is repeatedly done on the daily basis. During this whole treatment,
people having cancer are given the diet of liver, vegetables along with the
different forms of supplements as well. This kind of therapy is only
implemented in the US and not in any other country till now.
Well
as we already discussed above that coffee contains caffeine in it and this
caffeine works through stimulating the whole central nervous system (CNS),
muscles and the heart as well. We know this by now that coffee also contains
some other chemicals as well that have number of different benefits.
1. Mental alertness of a person:
Drinking coffee or any other beverage that contains some portion of caffeine in
it in the whole day is pretty much effective in keeping a person alert and it
also helps in the clear thinking of a person as well. Caffeine also helps in
the improvement of the alertness after the sleep deprivation. One won’t believe
that even one drink of coffee easily cut down the fatigue level and helps in
increasing the alertness in a person.
Possibly
this caffeine is really effective for number of different factors like,
Impaired
movement of the food by intestine after any kind of surgery: Having coffee may
shorten the time scale until the movement of first bowl after removing the part
of colon or even after having surgery for any of gynecological caners as well.
1. Diabetes:
Diabetes seems to be very less in those people who drink more coffee as
compared to the others who don’t. Risk for the diabetes type 2 reduces in them.
Greater intake of the coffee means lower risk in the people for getting
diabetes type 2.
2. Diseases affiliated with Gallbladder:
There are number of people who drink different beverages that include caffeine
along with coffee as well, all of them provide minimum 400 mg of the caffeine
on every day basis and they also have very few chances of getting the
gallstones in them.
3. High level of cholesterol:
Having cups of coffee helps in reducing the cholesterol level in people as well
like LDL or the “bad cholesterol” along with the blood fats as well that are
called as triglycerides through a very small amount. Here I want to add that
intake of almost 6-8 coffee cups a day on daily basis are of great benefit.
Having coffee that is decaffeinated don’t have the same kind of effects at all.
4. Low level of blood pressure:
Having the caffeinated drinks in which coffee is also a part of it seems to
increase the level of blood pressure in aged people and they also experience
dizziness after having certain meals because of the low blood pressure.
5. Death because of any reason:
People who love drinking coffee on daily basis seems to have much lower risk of
getting died because of any kind of cause like heart disease or any in
comparison to the others who don’t prefer drinking coffee.
6. Parkinson disease:
Parkinson disease is not new at all and there are huge ratio of people who
already suffer from this disease. There comes an evidence that people who drink
coffee or any of the caffeinated drink have very few chances of getting this
Parkinson disease. There is another fact here that people who smoke cigarettes
don’t seems to have any effect of drinking coffee on the Parkinson disease.
Insufficient evidence for the following
certain diseases,
1. Atherosclerosis, disease in which
hardening of the arteries happen: Buildup of the calcium
–containing plaque in arteries is considered to be one of the early sign of
getting this disease. But drinking coffee here doesn’t have any association
with the lower buildup of a calcium containing plaque in all those arteries.
2. Bladder Cancer:
There are some of the evidences which have suggested that number of people who
drink more amount of coffee have a very few chances for the development of
bladder cancer. But here another study has also showed that people who drink
coffee or caffeine drinks have way more chances of getting this bladder cancer
as compared to those who don’t.
7. Gout: There
has been an evidence that there are very few chances of getting Gout in a
person who drink caffeinated or decaffeinated drink but on the other side it is
also clear that people who drink caffeinated drink are safer from this disease.
10. Obesity:
Obesity is one of the biggest issue and problem that is found in almost every
age group and because of this there are many diseases as well that are
affiliated. Effect of the coffee on losing weight in the people who are
overweight or obese is still unclear. Results from different studies are still
conflicting. Some of the researches have shown that taking some of the coffee
chemicals like mannooligosaccharides for almost 12 weeks may help in losing
weight in men but not in women. Other studies shows that having dark roasted
coffee seems to help in the reduction of food intake and which further helps in
the weight loss but on the other side, light roast coffee doesn’t at all. And
one other research has also shown that drinking coffee no matter with or
without the caffeine doesn’t help at all with the loss in weight.
Economically valuable plant
Coffee
is known to be one of the most significant factor for the International Trade
and it is being known from last 185 years. This coffee is one of the most
leading agriculture products in the International trade along with corn, wheat
and soybeans. Total world of this exportable production of this coffee is
increasing with every passing year. Everyone demands to have a cup of coffee in
their hand because it has number of positive effects on the human body as
compared to any other drink in the market.
This
coffee is so much valuable economically that one can’t even imagine about it
and all because of the small steps that are included in it from the planting
till the packaging. These coffee packs are further then exported to different
areas and countries according to their need or demand.
Let’s
have a small outlook that how this coffee gets packaged and gets used at
different areas on such a large scale. Small simple 10 steps from seed to the
cup.
Very
first step is the planting step. They are being planted in large areas under
shaded nurseries. Water is their continuous supply. Their planting is therefore
mostly being done in the wet season when the rain becomes their continuous
source of help. Because of enough water supply, their soil remains moist and
roots become established in a firmly way.
Next
step is the Harvesting of cherries, depending upon the variety this will take
almost 3-4 years for the new plant of coffee to bear this kind of fruit.
Harvesting is being done typically once in a year. There are different ways to
pick these cherries.
Next
step is their processing and it is being done by two methods. First one is the
dry method, this one is being used where water supply is not enough. Cherries
are just spread on hot surfaced areas. Second one is the wet method, in this
process pulp gets removed from cherry. Cherries are being passed through the
pulping machine for better processing and removal of skin.
Next
step is drying up the beans. This process is being done after the wet method
only, not from the dry method. The beans that get dried are called as the
Parchment beans and they are then warehoused in jute or the sisal bags until or
unless they get ready to be exported.
Next
step is milling of the beans, in this process hulling, polishing, grading and sorting
is being done carefully.
Exporting
of the beans is the next step. In this step milled beans are now called as the
green beans and then further gets loaded into ships.
Seventh
step is the tasting process and the coffee is then gets tasted by number of
different people to make sure taste is accurate and perfect before it gets
exported.
Eight
step includes the roasting process. Beans get roasted in different machines and
then they remain at temperature of 550 Fahrenheit. After roasting, beans get
cooled down immediately by air or even with the water.
Next
step is the grinding process in which beans get grinded and comes in small
granule form.
Last
step includes the brewing of coffee and one can enjoy it however they want to.
Worth
of coffee industry back in 2019 was much high. Production rate was so much and
on the other ways it helped out the market a lot in keeping up with the
forecasted position. Global coffee market in 2019 expectedly was 102, 2792.2
million by kept on growing at CAGR of 4.32 during the forecast period of
2018-2023.
Coffee
industry is pretty much profitable. Top 50 different coffee chains actually
earn almost 70 percent of the profit in an industry. Gross margin for the
different cafeterias run almost at the scale of 85 percent but small coffee
shops also have some amount of the income for almost 2.5 percent of the gross
sales in general.
So it has been concluded that there is a high economical value of coffee and it helps a lot in making the market getting expanded or getting the profit at high scale.
Coffee is the plant that carries number of different positive things in medicinal as well as economical way as well. Scientific name of this plant is Coffea arabica. The origin of this plant was basically from the Ethiopia but with the passage of time it started getting harvested in many other countries as well. Coffee is being consumed by almost every one and this carries number of different benefits. It grows in small shrubs and then the beans further gets processed. Here in this paper we have deeply studied about its medicinal uses that how beneficial it is for the health and many other diseases like Parkinson, Diabetes type 2, cancer and many other diseases as well. Along with all this, coffee plant also have much value economically as because of this plant one there is a huge profit in the market and it helps in getting a lot of the profit as well.
