In recent years, different methods of fermentation have emerged for coffee, with the intention of adding complexity to its flavor. To be able to clearly identify the information from sensory analysis, tools capable of detecting small differences are needed. One such tool is multiple factor analysis (MFA). Thus, the objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of fermentation time and storage on the quality of sensory attributes using MFA. The coffee (Coffea arabica L.) samples collected for the study were from the Serra da Mantiqueira region – Brazil. In the present study, two natural coffee fermentation methods were evaluated, one using natural coffee microbiota (NF) and the other using a starter culture (Y), along with different times of anaerobic fermentation (0, 24, 48, 72, and 96h), followed by the pulping of the samples without the use of water. Sensory analysis of fermented coffee samples was performed immediately after drying and after six months of storage in permeable packaging in a refrigerated environment. Thus, the experiment was conducted in an intirely randomized design with a 2 x 5 x 2 factorial scheme (2 fermentation treatments; 5 fermentation times; 2 storage times). The highest scores and the attributes described in higher quality coffees, such as sweetness, acidity, and aftertaste, were attributed to coffees fermented for 96 hours. Results indicated that inoculation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCMA 0543 was responsible for maintaining the sensory qualities of the coffee fermented for 96 hours after 6 months of storage.

A challenge in the packaging and export of specialty coffees is to avoid green coffee bean storage and transport conditions that negatively affect the sensory quality of the roasted beans. The present study evaluated green beans of specialty coffees in eight types of packaging stored in a warehouse in the municipality of Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, for 18 months (Brazilian phase). This coffees were also subjected to sea transport and subsequent storage at a specialty coffee import company (export phase) in the United States, where it remained stored for 14 months. Physical, chemical, and sensory analyses of the beans were performed in the Brazilian phase and export phase. Green coffee beans stored in high-barrier packages had the best conserved quality. Packages with little or no barrier were not adequate for packaging or exporting specialty coffees. Beans in high-barrier packaging maintained their quality for long periods, which are therefore recommended for specialty coffee storage and export.

Coffee fermentation has emerged as an innovative post-harvest process in recent years. The effectiveness of this process is in conferring sensory notes to the coffee that would please the consumer and allow for the positive differentiation of the coffees. This is achieved by monitoring the different parameters of the procedure of coffee fermentation. In this regard, the present study aimed to conduct a natural fermentation of the coffee fruit for up to 96 hours followed by the sensory (sensory characteristics for aroma, flavor, acidity, body and overall score of the 0 to 100) and chemical analyses (bioactive compounds, volatiles, organics, and fatty acids) to evaluate the influence of fermentation on sensory quality and on chemical compounds. The coffee (Coffeea arabica L.) samples for the study were collected from Presidente Olegário – MG (Harvest 2018/19) in the cerrado of Minas Gerais. The effects of fermentation and fermentation duration on the sensory quality and chemistry of coffee were evaluated. It was observed that after 48 h of fermentation, significant sensorial differentiation occurs, including an increase of the approximately two points in the final grade. In addition, time was revealed as the most relevant factor in the chemical analyses for the categorization of samples into different groups. Accordingly, it was concluded since coffees with subjected to 48, 72, and 96 h of fermentation got higher final grades, higher levels of palmitic fatty acid and characteristic compounds of fermented coffees (1,3-dioxolane 2,4,5-trimethyl, 2-furan methanol acetate, and butanoic acid) checking out the coffees wine-like notes and sweet notes to the beverage.
