This diploma thesis researches coffee authenticity problematice, mainly focusing on the authenticity of geographic origin. In the theoretical part of this work, botanical classification is described as well as production technology and processes. The work also includes chemical composition of coffee, describing the major components and changes during production phases. It describes major production areas of the world, in terms of general description and brief history. Problematics with coffee fraud and its identification are also described. Theoretical part also includes general geological description of 17 studied coffee growing regions. Experimental part is devoted to trace amount analysis of selected elements and volatile compounds. The element analysis was conducted using mass spectrometry or optical emission spectrometry, volatile compounds were determined using gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry detection. Results were statistically described and analyzed, resulting in several discrimination models based on geographic origin.
