(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2017-02-15) Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Schwan, Rosane Freitas
O café é uma bebida popular consumida em todo o mundo e sua qualidade está diretamente relacionada ao sabor e aroma. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ação de leveduras selecionadas, inoculadas diretamente em diferentes métodos de inoculação (café cereja fermentado por via seca em terreiro suspenso (D) e em baldes, durante 16 horas antes de ser levado para o terreiro suspenso (B)) para secagem ao sol. Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCMA 0543, Candida parapsilosis CCMA 0544 e Torulospora delbrueckii CCMA 0684 foram inoculadas separadamente e o controle sem inoculação. A composição centesimal foi avaliada no fruto do café. Amostras foram coletadas para análise de qPCR (persistência do inóculo) e para análise química por HPLC (cafeína, ácidos clorogênicos, trigonelina ácidos orgânicos e açucares) e GC-MS (compostos voláteis). A análise sensorial foi realizada no café torrado através da prova de xícara, de acordo com Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Todos os tratamentos com leveduras diretamente inoculadas apresentaram maiores concentrações de ácidos cítrico e málico quando comparados com o método em balde. Concentração de cafeína, ácidos clorogênicos e trigonelina, variaram entre os métodos de inoculação. No total, duzentos e dezessete compostos voláteis foram identificados. Todos os tratamentos originaram cafés especiais, e o tratamento com Saccharomyces cerevisiae 0543 B obteve a pontuação mais alta no teste de xícara, com notas de banana e caju. O tratamento com Candida parapsilosis CCMA 0544 inoculado diretamente foi melhor do que o mesmo tratamento inoculado em balde, e o tratamento com Torulospora delbruekii CCMA 0684 mostrou bons resultados para ambos os métodos utilizados

The objective of this work was to evaluate the protein profiles of natural and semidry fermented Coffea arabica, either subjected to treatments with different yeast inoculation methods with starter culture or to na uninoculated control. Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCMA 0543 and Candida parapsilosis CCMA 0544 were separately inoculated into coffee by directly spraying the cherries on a terrace or in buckets, for 16 hours before sun drying. Protein quantification showed a significant difference between the protein profiles of the samples collected after natural dry fermentation. The MALDI-TOF MS analysis generated a list of 96 peaks with different massto- charge ratios (m/z) in the samples collected at the beginning and the end of fermentation. The highest number of peaks in the natural dry coffee was observed at the end of fermentation in the samples inoculated with S. cerevisiae CCMA 0543, in bucket, and in C. parapsilosis CCMA 0544 sprayed on the terrace. However, in the semidry processed coffee, the highest number of peaks was observed in the initial fermentation, with a decrease in the peptide peaks after fermentation. The fermentation with different microorganisms, processing types, and inoculation methods affects m/z profiles, influencing the types of proteins found in coffee.
Into the minds of coffee consumers: perception, preference, and impact of information in the sensory analysis of specialty coffee
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos, 2021) Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Martinez, Silvia Juliana; Batista, Nádia Nara; Simão, João Batista Pavesi; Schwan, Rosane Freitas
This study aimed to analyze the knowledge, perspectives, and preferences of consumers about specialty coffees and to investigate how information can influence the perception of taste and the sensory characteristics of consumers. A descriptive-analytic survey was conducted through a questionnaire in a digital format with 1005 respondents. Four trained Q-Grader tasters evaluated a sample of cherry coffee fermented. The Specialty Coffee Association developed the cupping protocol used. According to the perceived descriptors, a sensory analysis was performed with the same coffee with 101 consumers to evaluate the influence of information received before the analysis. The chocolate flavor is the most expected in coffee. However, the participants are willing to try different specialty coffees. The coffee has been considered excellent (85.15 points) by Q-Grader tasters and widely accepted by consumers. Check-all-that-Apply (CATA) test showed that consumers could be influenced by information. When the coffee has been presented without information, the consumers noticed a more caramel flavor. However, when the information has been added to the same coffee, the citric flavor was more noticeable. In conclusion, information on specialty coffees should be more widespread. Consumer’s expectations can be influenced by information, which in turn can modify their sensory perception.

Otimização por Page do processo de secagem em leito de espuma para produção de café solúvel
(Instituto de Tecnologia de Alimentos – ITAL, 2020) Silva, Gustavo Henrique Souza; Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Junqueira, Mateus da Silva
A expansão da produção de café solúvel é uma alternativa ao consumo do café tradicional, tornando-se necessária para atender às novas exigências dos consumidores que buscam conveniência e praticidade. Diante desse cenário, o estudo de técnicas que simplificam e reduzem custos para a obtenção de café solúvel se torna mais pertinente. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi otimizar o processo de secagem de extrato de café em leito de espuma, por meio do ajuste ao Modelo de Page por regressão não linear. Foram avaliados dois métodos para a concentração do extrato: (A) em evaporador rotativo e (B) em recipiente de inox aberto. A cinética de secagem do extrato de café em leito de espuma sob as temperaturas de 40, 50, 60, 70 e 80 °C foi descrita pelo modelo. Além disso, foi proposta uma equação multivariada para a secagem mediante detecção da influência da temperatura no parâmetro k, do Modelo de Page, e posterior validação dos resultados. O tempo para obtenção do extrato concentrado foi próximo para os dois métodos de concentração (A: 2 horas e 30 minutos; B: 2 horas e 40 minutos). O modelo de Page apresentou ótimo ajuste com valores de coeficientes de determinação acima de 99%. Por meio dos resultados obtidos, foi confirmado que a temperatura é um fator determinante na velocidade de perda de umidade do produto, apresentando tempos de secagem menores com o aumento da temperatura. A correlação entre os dados experimentais e preditos foi satisfatória para validar os resultados. O modelo matemático também pode auxiliar na correlação dos parâmetros de secagem com alterações físico-químicas e sensoriais do café solúvel, a fim de melhorar os parâmetros tecnológicos.
Specialty coffees fermented at different altitudes: Influence of yeast co-inoculation on chemical and sensory composition

Specialty coffees are gaining more space in the Brazilian market, and the changes in production, processing, marketing, and consumer culture are noticeable. Unquestionably, the use of selected starter cultures in the fermentation process improves the coffee quality. However, the microorganisms' behavior can be different depending on the variety, processing method, and altitude. Thus, this paper aims to (i) use metabolomics, chemical, and sensory methodologies to evaluate the quality of fermented coffees of the cultivar Catuaí vermelho IAC-44 at different altitudes (600 and 1,200 m) located in the Caparaó region. (ii) analyze consumers’ knowledge and perspectives on coffees and investigate how information can influence consumers’ sensory experience. For this, the coffee cherries were harvested manually and separated into batches of 20 kg, representing seven treatments plus control at each altitude. The starter cultures - Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCMA 0543, Candida parapsilosis CCMA 0544, and Torulospora delbrueckii CCMA 0684 - were inoculated, isolated, and in co-inoculation. The control was performed without inoculation. Fermentation of whole fruits lasted 72 h in closed bioreactors. Then, the coffees were transferred to the suspended terraces until 11- 12% moisture. Samples were collected and frozen for chemical analysis. We studied the improving coffee beverage quality cultivated at low altitudes through inoculation of yeast during fermentation in dry processing. The analyzes were performed using liquid and gas chromatography, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and cup testing. Differences in chemical compounds were observed between the inoculated coffees and the control, both for green and roasted beans. Fermentation improved the quality of low-altitude coffees, and the co-inoculation of non-Saccharomyces yeasts (C. parapsilosis CCMA 0544 and T. delbrueckii CCMA 0684) had the highest sensory score (85), being the most suitable for this process. The second topic addressed in this work was the influence of fermentation with starter cultures concerning the bioactive, chemical, and sensory compounds of coffee produced at high altitudes. The content of total polyphenols and antioxidants is strongly correlated with the end of fermentation in a closed bioreactor and after roasting. The trigonelline content has a moderate and negative correlation with fermentation and roasting. Fruity, citric, and wine notes were found only in inoculated treatments. The co-inoculated with the three yeasts showed the highest sensory score (86.9). The third aspect addressed was understanding the perspectives and desires of coffee consumers through a questionnaire in a digital format with 1,005 participants. The chocolate flavor is still the most expected in specialty coffee. The Check-all-that-Apply (CATA) test was carried out with 101 consumers using the same coffee (without and with information). Sensory analysis showed that consumers could be influenced by information. Therefore, co-inoculation of yeasts in coffee fermentation is a promising alternative for low and high-altitude coffee. Also, specialty fermented coffees should be made more widely available to consumers.
