The purpose of this study is to analyze the possibility of a residual product of coffee (RC). RC oil extracted with n-hexane at $60({\pm}10)^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. In this study, the cytotoxicity of RC oil was observed against B16F10 melanoma cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells by water solubletetrazolium salt-1 assay, and The RC oil measured by methods of DPPH radical scavenging and antimicrobial activities in Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans. As a result, the RC oil treatment-related cytotoxic effects appeared on B16F10 melanoma cells from 0.125 to $2{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$ and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells from 0.125 to $0.5{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$ concentrations in this study. RC oil is radical scavenging activity concentrations on dependent. The antimicrobial activity of RC oil ($150{\mu}l/{\ell}$) was determined by clear zone method. Straphylococcus epidermidis, Straphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans showed clear zone by each $11.3{\pm}0.4$, $12.{\pm}0.7$, $12.0{\pm}0.0$, $0.0{\pm}0.0mm$. It is suggested that RC oil have effects on the cytotoxicity, antioxidant and antimicrobial that could be applicable to cosmetics as a new material.

Experiments on zebrafish embryo toxicity and whitening efficacy, which is an alternative experimental animal model, were conducted using coffee by-products. As a result of the embryo toxicity test treated with the coffee residue extract, the coagulation rate was 3, 3, and 5% at 24, 48, and 72 hpf and concentration of 125 ppm, respectively. The hatching rate of embryos was 73% at the highest concentration of 125 ppm. In the heart beat rate experiment of zebrafish larva, the heart beat rate after 72 hpf was confirmed to be 153 times/60 s' at a concentration of 125 ppm. The negative control group showed no significant change in heart rate compared to the control group at 148 times/60s', and showed low toxicity. In addition, as a result of evaluating the whitening effect in zebrafish, melanin formation was inhibited as the concentration of the coffee residue extract increased. The results of this study suggest the possibility that naturally derived by-product materials can be used as raw materials for cosmetics, and are expected to be used in the cosmetics industry as an example of research that increases the added value of natural product residue.

Benzo[a]pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) whose metabolites are mutagenic and highly carcinogenic, is listed as a Group 1 carcinogen by the IARC. In this study, Arabica and Robusta green coffee beans were roasted under controlled conditions and the formation of benzo[a]pyrene during the roasting process was monitored. The concentration of benzo[a]pyrene in ground coffee and brewed coffee were determined by a HPLC-fluorescence detector. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of benzo(a)pyrene were 0.03 and $0.09{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. Benzo[a]pyrene was only detected in the dark roast of ground coffee, with a concentration ranging from $0.147{\sim}0.757{\mu}g/kg$. The content of benzo[a]pyrene in Ethiopia Mocha Harrar G4 is the highest ($0.757{\mu}g/kg$).
