Considering the worldwide consumption of coffee, it is natural that throughout the history many people have dedicated the research to markers that contribute somehow on gauging its quality. This research aimed to evaluate the biochemical performance of arabica coffee during storage. Coffee in beans (natural) and in parchment (pulped) dried in concrete terrace and in dryer with heated air were packed in jute bags and stored in not controlled environmental conditions. Enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase, esterase and lipoxygenase in coffee grains were evaluated at zero, three, six, nine and twelve months by means of electrophoresis. Independently of the drying method, the activity of isoenzymatic complexes highlighted deteriorative processes in stored grains of coffee. The treatments 60/40° C and 60° C used to reduce the water content imposed a greater stress condition, accelerated metabolism of natural coffee in the storage with decreased activity of defense mechanisms due to latent damage in these grains. Natural coffees are more sensible to high drying temperatures and its quality reduces faster than pulped coffee in the storage.

Conduziu-se este trabalho, com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de diferentes temperaturas e períodos de pré-secagem em terreiro na composição química e qualidade da bebida do café 1⁄2cereja descascada1⁄2. Foram usadas temperaturas na massa de 40°C, 50°C e 60°C com fluxo de ar de 20m 3 m -1 m 2 . Após a secagem, foram retirados os defeitos visíveis das amostras de café. Para avaliação da qualidade, foram realizadas as seguintes análises: análise sensorial, açúcares totais, açúcares redutores e não redutores, condutividade elétrica, lixiviação de potássio e acidez graxa. Verificou-se que menores temperaturas de secagem e um maior período de pré-secagem contribuíram para obtenção de uma bebida de melhor qualidade. Os açúcares não redutores diminuíram com o aumento da temperatura e com o aumento da pré-secagem, enquanto que elevaram-se os valores de açúcares redutores. A condutividade elétrica, lixiviação de potássio e acidez graxa aumentaram significativamente com a elevação da temperatura e a lixiviação de potássio reduziu com o aumento do período de pré-secagem. O teste de acidez graxa mostrou-se sensível a temperatura de secagem.

This research evaluated the sensory quality of processed and dried coffee beans in different ways. Two types of processing were used: dry and wet, besides seven drying methods: drying in yard and mechanical drying with heated air at 50 oC until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with air heated to 35 oC until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 45 °C until coffee reached 30% moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 35 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; and drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 40 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 35 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 50 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 45 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 40 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content. The mechanical drying system consisted of three fixed-layer dryers, allowing the control of temperature and drying flow. Coffee was tasted according to the evaluation system proposed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Physicochemical composition and physiological quality of the beans were analyzed, involving: grease acidity, potassium leaching, electrical conductivity, color and germination. The results show that pulped coffee is more tolerant to drying than natural coffee, regardless of how it was dried.
