Summary: Rondonia State in Brazil stands out for the research in genetical enhancement of Coffea canephora species, obtaining highly productive and resistant plants, that can also lead to specialty coffees. High-quality coffees of Robusta variety are produced in the Amazon regions of the State. Several bioactive coffee compounds even original from the beans (trigonelline, caffeine, total chlorogenic acids) or produced during roasting process (melanoidins) has been highlighted by their positive biological effects for human health and the importance in cup quality. However, bioactive compounds data for C. canephora are still scarce, and many researches do not specify the coffee variety. This research aimed to study bioactive compounds in Robusta clones from the Amazon region.
