Cafestol palmitate is present in coffee beans and is a diterpene ester, recognized as one of the components contributing to the unique lipid fraction in coffee. It is used as a reference material to calibrate analytical instruments like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Cafestol palmitate has also been the subject of investigations regarding its interactions with proteins within the body. Specifically, it has been observed to bind to and activate proteins such as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), which plays a role in metabolic regulation and cellular development.
