Abstract
The chemical composition and the acceptance of the coffee substitute f rom Prosopis juliflora D.C. were assayed. The spectra had a strong ide ntification with the curve for genuine coffee, and a decaffeinated cof fee range in caffein contents. The nitrogen absence in the aqueous ext ract revealed that there is no toxidity due this element. Drink flavor had a good acceptance in sensory evaluations.
