SCG from the industrial instant coffee are natural source of
antioxidant insoluble dietary fibre, proteins, essential amino acids
and low glycaemic sugars. SCG (4% w/w) can be used directly as
food ingredient in solid foods such as biscuits without affecting
the conventional food preparation and the final quality of the product.
These food formulations might be destined to people with
reduced energetic intake and particular requirements. The application
of SCG which we propose represents a value-added opportunity
for coffee by-products utilization at a very low cost.
