O café é uma das bebidas mais consumidas em todo o mundo, sendo composto com características especificas que dão origem a qualidade do café e a percepção sensorial. A qualidade do café, que de uma maneira geral é definida por um conjunto de atributos físicos, químicos, sensoriais, que proporcionam prazer e segurança a seus consumidores ao degustá-lo, torna-o um produto complexo, com diversas interações entre o processo de análise sensorial. Uma das formas de definir características e avaliar a qualidade e garantir a homogeneidade dessa bebida é por meio da análise sensorial. Os Q-Graders são profissionais treinados que fazem essa análise com auxílio de um protocolo desenvolvido pela SCA. Entretanto há muita discussão acerca da subjetividade desse método, visto que cada provador tem sua preferência quanto a atributos. Desta forma o presente trabalho busca avaliar as notas de cinco provadores Q- Graders em relação a um café submetido a 3 curvas de torra distintas, de modo a inferir se há consistência entre eles.

The coffee quality interacts with different processes, techniques, analyses, and concepts. This study applied six different forms of wet fermentation to coffee from different altitude ranges to understand how coffee quality interacts with the physicochemical profile and its possible relations with sensory variables. Statistical analysis was performed through combined analyses of variance of the experiments, and the means were compared by the Tukey test considering the significance level of 5%. Regression models were tested by the F-test and the parameters by the t-test, followed by Pearson correlation analysis between the sensory and physicochemical characteristics and between physicochemical variables. The results indicate a correlation between sensory and physicochemical variables for total titratable acidity and indicate that these compounds are affected by the manner of fermentation applied as well as the edaphic and climatic conditions.
Sensory analysis and mid-infrared spectroscopy for discriminating roasted specialty coffees

In general, the process of roasting coffee uses a rotated fix drum or fluidized bed. Theoretically, the fluidized bed can provide more homogenous roastings throughout the process. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the sensorial and chemical attributes for two different coffees submitted to three roasting profiles using fluidized bed roaster. The coffees were roasted for a high temperature for a short time (HTST), medium temperature for a medium time (MTMT), and low temperature for a long time (LTLT). Sensory analysis was performed on the roasted coffees according to the SCA methodology and chemical analy sis through mid-infrared spectroscopy. The results of sensory analysis indicated a preference for MTMT roasting for coffee grown at high altitude and HTST roasting for coffee grown at low altitude. Chemically, coffees show that LTLT and MTMT roasts are most distant from each other in their chemical com position when roasting low altitude coffee, whereas the HTST and MTMT roasts are the most distant from each other when roasting high altitude coffee.
