A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food analyzed the effects of fermented green coffee bean extract containing chlorogenic acid and surfactin on the individual compounds on HepG2 cells, a human liver cancer cell line. This study was conducted by researchers at Dankook University, Korea University, Jungwon University, Hyejeon College, and Kangwon National University School of Medicine in South Korea.
Overall, the researchers concluded that the cytotoxic effects of chlorogenic acid and surfactin against HepG2 cells are greater when they are obtained from fermented green coffee bean extract.
