process of coffee beans reduces the amounts of the chemical chlorogenic acid. Therefore, green coffee beans
have a higher level of chlorogenic acid compared to roasted coffee beans. Chlorogenic acid together with
caffeine in green coffee are thought to have many health benefits including anti-obesity,anti-tumour, antidiabetic,
anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects.Also green coffee and its active
ingradients may provide a non-pharmacological and non-invasive approach for treatment and prevention
of some chronic abnormalities as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In this review, the health benefits of
green coffee and its main components eg. chlorogenic acids will be detailed.
