Zusammenfassung:[Display omitted] •Instant coffee compounds were fractionated by ultrafiltration.•Sugar linkage composition and amino acids were determined in all fractions.•The molecular weight was directly proportional to the amount of brown compounds.•Only the fraction of 1–5kDa presented a B-lymphocyte stimulatory activity. Instant coffee was prepared and fractionated into higher (>100kDa), medium (5–10, 10–30, 30–100kDa) and lower (1–5,
