Sažetak

The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of consumption of coffee beverages in the city of
Mostar. In 2019, an analysis of caffeine content was performed on HPLC in 10 different samples of
coffee beverages.
Samples of coffee were taken from the market of the city of Mostar by random selection. In addition
to the High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, the study was conducted using
empirical and descriptive methods. An assessment of daily (EDI) and weekly intake (EWI) was also
performed were on the base of determined values of caffeine content in 10 different coffee samples.
The acute toxic dose of caffeine is not well defined, but it is considered more than 10 grams of
caffeine per day for adults, while in most countries it is not recommended that more than 450 mg of
caffeine be consumed per day.
The samples were found to be in accordance with the EFSA Scientific Opinion (European Food Safety
Authority) stating that a single dose of 200 mg of caffeine from all sources does not pose a risk to the
health of healthy adults (EFSA, 2015).
