•Coffee silverskin extracts contain caffeine, chlorogenic acid (CGA) and fibre.•Bioactive constituents, caffeine and CGA, are in physiological active concentrations.•The beverage significantly reduced in vivo body fat accumulation.•The novel beverage has potential as body weight management drink.•An antioxidant beverage possessing acceptable sensorial properties was obtained. The present research aimed to add value to coffee silverskin by looking for new innovative applications. Formulation of novel beverages based on coffee silverskin for body fat reduction and body weight control was proposed. Conditions for beverage preparation were optimised. Data on chemical composition and sensorial quality of the new drink were acquired. Health benefits were evaluated in vitro and in vivo employing as animal model Caenorhabditis elegans. An antioxidant beverage containing physiological active concentrations of caffeine and chlorogenic acid for prevention body fat accumulation and possessing acceptable sensorial properties was obtained. Our findings support that the use of coffee silverskin for obtaining bioactive extract is an innovative way for revalorisation of coffee by-product.
