The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different roasting conditions, including temperature, humidity, and roasting air velocity on acrylamide contents in roasted Robusta coffee. In addition, acrylamide concentrations were correlated with the degradation of coffee bean polyphenols and its antioxidant activity. In the process of roasting in a quarter-technological scale apparatus used temperatures ranged from 190 to 216°C. Dry or moist air at a velocity of 0.5 or 1 m s ⁻¹ was used. Beans were roasted to achieve optimal sensory properties. The increase of roasting air velocity regardless of its temperature resulted in the intensification of acrylamide formation. The increase of humidity of roasting air caused a reduction of acrylamide formation, but only at the highest used roasting temperature. However, the modification of roasting conditions to achieve a drop in acrylamide concentration resulted in increased degradation of polyphenols and/or deterioration of antioxidant activity. The optimal roasting parameters were: Temperature 203°C, dry air, and low velocity of roasting air. Under these conditions, the roasted beans were characterized by relatively low level of acrylamide and moderate degradation of polyphenols.
