In coffee crops at Rondônia State of Brazil, there is an increase in phytonematode epidemics.Since most local coffe nurseries at Rondônia use soil as substrate for seedling production, this work aimed to test the minimum exposure time at 60 ºC to control of root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita in soil by means of solar heating, using a solarizer, in an adapted version for better heating perfomance. The used solarizer prototype was built of a wooden box covered with metal sheets, thermal blankets, painted black, with aluminum pipes of 0.5 cm in diameter at the bottom of the box that circulates the water heated by the collector box. The soil was inoculated with a suspension of 1000 eggs + J2 of M. incognita per liter and placed in equipment with a capacity of 150 liters. Exposure times at a minimum temperature of 60 °C were evaluated, with 14 treatments: C1 (non-inoculated and not autoclaved), C2 (inoculated), C3 (non-inoculated and autoclaved) T0’, T15’, T30’, T45’, T60’, T180’, T360’, T720’, T1440’, T2880’ and T4320’ . The temperature was measured every 15 minutes using a skewer-type digital thermometer. The soil was removed according to the exposure time, and placed in 8-liter pots, in which clone 125 and BRS 2357 coffee seedlings, susceptible to M. incognita , were transplanted and growing in a greenhouse for 180 days. The experimental design used was DIC, with 6 replications, each seedling as na experimental unit. Reproduction factor (FR), number of eggs per plant (NOGR) and number of galls per gram of root (NGGR) were evaluated. The FR, NOGR and NGGR variables reduced with exposure time. All treatments showed an effect to control the population of M. incognita in infected soils, with 100% efficacy of pathogen eradication from the T45’ treatment, 60 minutes of exposure is recommended for the production of Coffea canephora seedlings. Taken together, thir work showed the high potential of thr solorizer to contribute in the root-knot nematode control to seedling production.

Micropropagation of AS2K clones Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) was attempted through indirect somatic embryogenesis by using ten different parts of the leaf such as shoot, first leaf base, second leaf base, third leaf base, first leaf middle, second leaf middle, third leaf middle, first leaf tip, second leaf tip, and third leaf tip. The influence of the part of leaf explants, combination of plant growth regulator (PGRs) in the induction of embryogenic callus and regeneration of embryo somatic were studied. Furthermore, the various protocols to induce regeneration of somatic embryo into plantlet through different step of subculture and the use of various germination medium were demonstrated. The morphological characteristics and histological analysis of embryogenic callus and embryo development were observed. In this experiment, it was observed that the M5 medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 1 mg/L BAP and 4 mg/L 2-ip was closely associated with third leaf tip explants for induction of embryogenic callus. The maximum number of globular, heart-shape, torpedo and cotyledones (18, 4, 12, 4, respectively) were achieved on ERM6 medium containing 2 mg/L BAP without activated charcoal on 90th day for regeneration of embryo somatic. The length of roots is the most influence paramater on plantlet regeneration, and the 17th protocol which used B medium, large embryos and twice phase of subculture from liquid medium to solid medium is the best protocol for plantlet regeneration. The protocol developed could be useful highly for large-scale micropropagation in these commercially important Arabica coffee clones

(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-03-28) Pale-Ezquivel, Ivan; Lagunes, Ricardo Musule; Pineda-López, Maria del Rosario; Alarcón-Gutiérrez, Enrique; Sánchez-Velásquez, Lázaro Rafael
Coffee is an important crop in Mexico. Unfortunately, coffee production has been affected by coffee leaf rust (CLR). For Veracruz, the second state in Mexico with the major production of coffee, there are available reports of weekly CLR severity, but these are only informative without in-depth inferential analysis. We analyzed variations of CLR severity along the year in Veracruz with data from municipal weekly reports provided by Mexico’s federal government phytosanitary epidemiological monitoring coffee program. We selected reports dated in 2018 from nine municipalities and after calculations of mean monthly severity values, we conducted a one-way ANOVA (months as factors) of severity data. We compared this information with other coffee-producing regions. Additionally, we explored the association of temperature, rainfall, and altitude with CLR severity using Principal Component Analysis and multiple linear regressions. Temperature and rainfall data were obtained from Mexican National Meteorological Service. We found that CLR severity in October, November, December, and January (months of harvest period) was significantly higher than values from March-June. During the harvest period, coffee plants allocate resources mainly for fruiting which competes in resources for other tasks such as defense and leaf growth, so this competition of resources can explain the positive relationship found between fruit load and CLR severity. This monthly variation of severity was similar to those reported in Chiapas, Guatemala, Colombia, Uganda, and Ethiopia. Our model (R2 = 0.948) showed a significant and negative effect of minimum and maximum temperature (in a range from 9.9 – 15.5 °C and 18.5 – 26.5 °C, respectively) on CLR severity, while the effect of rainfall (in a range from 32.0 – 359.9 mm) and médium temperature (from 14.3 – 20.5 °C) was positive. With our study, we suggest applications of fungicides in March-June when coffee plantations are in leaf phenophase.

(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-04-04) Costa, Bruna Penha; Tsutsumi, Cláudio Yuji; Rego, Carlos Augusto Rocha de Moraes
Abiotic stresses cause significant damage to coffee plants’ development. Seeking solutions to mitigate them, studies about antiperspirant action have been intensified, for instance, kaolinite, which produces a film of particles with reflexive properties. In this context, this experiment aims to evaluate the effects of applying kaolinite doses in different colors with or without the addition of adjuvant on biometric variables during coffee plants’ initial growth. The randomized block design was used with three repetitions in an incomplete factorial scheme with an additional treatment, resulting in 11 treatments and 33 plots. The first factor comprised three kaolinite doses (20, 40, and 60 g); the second factor had two kaolinite colors (white and cream), and the third factor was the absence or presence of an adjuvant, also including an additional treatment (control). The plot consisted of four seedlings of the cultivar IPR 100. It was observed that the plant height (PH), number of plagiotropic branches (NPB), leaf area index (LAI), leaf dry matter (LDM), shoot dry matter (SHDM), root dry matter (RDM), and total dry matter (TDM) presented significant differences. Regarding PH, the dose of 40 g of cream kaolinite increased 7.07 cm more than the control. For LAI, the dose of 40 g with adjuvant had a 97.65 increase. For LDM and TDM, the dose of 40 g of white kaolinite with adjuvant presented respective increases of 5.2 and 12.78 g. The application of white kaolinite with adjuvant increased SHDM by 4.52 g. For RDM, the dose of 40 g of white kaolinite with adjuvant increased 6.51 g more than the control. The dose of 40 g of white kaolinite with adjuvant had a higher effect on the biometric variables.

(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-04-17) Alixandre, Ricardo Dias; Alixandre, Fabiano Tristão; Lima, Paula Aparecida Muniz de; Fornazier, Maurício José; Krohling, Cesar Abel; Amaral, José Francisco Teixeira do; Guarçoni, Rogério Carvalho; Dias, Rodrigo da Silva; Venturini, Cassio de Faria; Macette, Higor Alixandre; Zandonadi, Cecília Uliana; Viçosi, David Brunelli
The growing demand for better quality coffees has driven changes in the coffee production chain, mainly through the adoption of new technologies and management. Thus, this work was carried out aiming to evaluate the physical and sensorial quality of Arabica coffee cultivars, submitted to natural and pulped post-harvesting processing. The experiment was carried out following a randomized block design with three replications, in a split-plot scheme, with the plots consisting of five cultivars (Catucaí 2 SL, Catucaí 24/137, Catuaí IAC 44, Arara and Acauã); and the subplots by two processes, pulped and natural cherry. The harvest was carried out manually, harvesting the cherry fruits (ripe) in a sieve. The coffees were processed by the natural and pulped cherry methods. Drying was carried out on a covered suspended terrace, until the grains reached 11% ± 1 moisture (wet basis, bu). The following evaluations were carried out: sensorial analysis of the beverage according to the SCAA methodology, analysis of grain sieves according to the Official Brazilian Coffee Classification Protocol. The results show that all evaluated cultivars have a great potential for the production of specialty coffees in that studied environment. Differences were observed between cultivars both in the sensory quality of the beverage and in the grain size. Cultivar Arara presents a general average of final beverage grade higher than the other cultivars.

Growth promoting fungi have shown an important role in the development of agricultural crops. Among these fungi, the genus Trichoderma stands out, and the entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Beauveria and Metarhizium have been gaining greater importance. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the vegetative growth of conilon coffee seedlings inoculated with growth promoting fungi. For the production of seedlings, cuttings of clone A1 of conilon coffee were used, in standard substrate. The growth promoting fungi Trichoderma harzianum, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae were used at a concentration of 1 x 107 conidia.mL-1, inoculated via soil and leaf. Vegetative growth evaluations were performed at 180 days after cutting. The treatments corresponded to a 4 x 2 factorial arrangement, in a randomized block design, with three replications, totaling 24 plots. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and the means compared by the Scott-Knott grouping method (p ≤ 0.05). The treatments did not promote gains in plant height, stem diameter, root length, root fresh mass, leaf area, shoot/root fresh and dry mass of conilon coffee seedlings. Growth promoting fungi T. harzianum and B. bassiana promoted a greater number of leaf pairs, greater fresh mass of aerial part and greater dry mass of aerial part. Additionally, T. harzianum promoted greater root dry mass in conilon coffee seedlings. Only for the parameter number of leaf pairs, the inoculation via soil was greater than via leaf, while for the other parameters there was no difference regarding the inoculation method.
Characterization of active-aroma wheel in contemporary coffee processes via gas chromatography–olfactometry, and sensory perspective
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-04-28) Jitjaroen, Wanphen; Chaisri, Daorung; Panjai, Lachinee
This research is to study the difference in chemical changes during fermentation, between the new fermentation processes. Aroma descriptors and sensorial assessments can be effectively used to tailor made fermentation processes. Coffee cherries (Coffea arabica L. var. Catimor) were treated with three different processes as followed: 1) Dry process (control), 2) Semi-carbonic maceration process (SCM): Carbon dioxide gas was injected to replace oxygen, and 3) Yeast process: coffee cherries were fermented by commercial yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae var cerevisiae. SCM and Yeast processes were both incubated at 17±1oC until mucilage of pulped coffee and pectin layer reached to 4.2-4.3 of pH value. Low air temperatures (20-33 oC), low relative humidity (25-60%) to dry coffee samples to the desired 12.5% moisture content was used. The chemical component of the intact mucilage during fermentation was analyzed. The active-aroma attributes of roasted coffee were qualified and intensified by gas chromatography–olfactometry, categorized as followed: Enzymatic, Sugar browning, Dry distillation and Aromatic, and translated into an active-aroma wheel. The quality cup scores were evaluated by certified Q arabica graders, according to the standard of the Specialty Coffee Association. Results shows that, when compared to Control, SCM and Yeast process had a greater potential when it comes to increasing active-aroma attributes (twenty, twenty-nine, and twenty-two active-aroma attributes respectively). The fermentation process of SCM and Yeast process changes the post fermentation chemical composition of coffee cherry, a decrease in pH value, and an increase in acidity and ethanol. Both processes resulted in an improvement in aromatic attributes of roasted coffee, in both types and intensities. In line with the cup quality’s final scores of 81.50, and 82.83 (specialty coffee), respectively, both processes scored higher than the Dry process (79.42 cup score), with coffee from Yeast process scoring the highest in significant difference.
Coffee plant diseases affected by nutritional balance
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-05-02) Pozza, Edson Ampélio; Pozza, Adélia Aziz Alexandre
In recent years, sustainability has become a priority in agricultural production programs throughout Brazilian territory due to the need to ensure food security and environmental quality. Diseases continue to be a factor limiting sustainable agricultural production, due to the great need for chemical defenses for their control. Thus, it is indispensable to make use of alternative management techniques to reduce the use of such chemical defenses and to increase resistance of plants to diseases. It is known that mineral nutrients affect plant resistance to diseases, and effective physical and biochemical response of plants to pathogens is determined by adequate concentrations of mineral elements in the plant tissues. This review presents the most recent information related to the mode of action of the nutrients in the host-pathogen interaction and individual action in the control of plant diseases with the use of essential nutrients, as well as other elements considered beneficial, such as Si. It also reports on the use of some of these mineral nutrients in control of the main diseases of the coffee plant that occur in Brazil, especially rust, cercosporiosis or brown eye spot, phoma leaf spot, and bacterial blight. In addition, contradictory and satisfactory results are found in the literature on the use of mineral nutrients in control of different diseases, including coffee diseases.
Study of variations in the roasting time of gayo arabica coffee in the drying phase
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-06-06) Fadhil, Rahmat; Safrizal, S; Rizal, Khairul; Putra, Bambang Sukarno; Firmansyah, Juli
Gayo Arabica coffee is a famous specialty coffee in Indonesia and abroad. Proper roasting is needed to produce high-quality coffee, including getting the desired coffee taste. This study contributes to roasting high-quality coffee, especially regarding the appropriate time variation in the drying phase. This study aims to analyze the roasting time of Gayo Arabica coffee in the drying phase based on the cupping score and sensory assessment. Coffee roasting in this study was carried out by modifying the time in the drying phase for 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00 minutes, while in the other phases (maillard and development), it was 4:00 and 3:00 minutes, respectively. The study parameters include roasting charts, roasting profiles, cupping scores by certified panelists (Q graders) and sensory assessments by panelists identified by the TOPSIS method. The TOPSIS is a decision-making method based on various alternatives that are ranked to get the best results with the highest value. The results showed that the best time treatment in the drying phase based on the cupping score was the F2 treatment as rank 1 (score 85.00), treatment F1 as rank 2 (score 83.50), and treatment F3 as rank 3 (score 81.00). Meanwhile, the sensory assessment by the panelists using the TOPSIS method showed the same thing for rank 1, namely the F2 treatment with a value of 0.88. However, it is different for rank 2, namely the F3 treatment with a value of 0.69 and ranks 3 is the F1 treatment with a value of 0.17. It can be concluded that the assessment by certified and identified panelists, who can be considered representative of consumers, show the same conclusion that coffee roasted with the best treatment in the drying phase is 4 minutes (F2).
Analysis and technical optimization of processing condition for better quality of robusta coffee production
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-06-06) Ahmad, Usman; Sa’diyah, Khalimatus; Sathivel, Subramaniam
The wet processing of robusta coffee starts with harvesting coffee cherries, followed by sorting the cherries, pulping, fermentation, washing, drying, hard skin hulling, bean sorting, and packaging. Soaking fruit before pulping is an alternative for coffee farmers to delay the pulping process if time does not allow it. The fermentation process aims to remove mucus that is firmly attached to the hard skin. The addition of L. casei microbes can accelerate the process but affect the final taste. The study aimed to optimize the duration of soaking and fermentation processes for obtaining coffee beans with a minimum number of unpeeled beans, minimum partially black bean value, maximum taste quality, and to identify volatile components that play a role in forming the best steeping aroma after the coffee beans are roasted, ground and brewed. Experiments and data analysis were carried out using the Response Surface Method design. The optimization results showed that 24 hours of soaking and 24 hours of fermentation were the optimum treatment based on the criteria for unpeeled beans response, partially black bean value, and total taste score with a desirability value of 0.721. The identified volatile compounds (43) include 9 aldehyde group compounds, 3 alcohols, 4 furans, 5 heterocyclic N, 6 ketones, 1 organic acid, 3 phenols, 10 pyrazines, and 2 thiols. The spicy and chocolaty aroma produced was also the highest among treatments, namely 8.98% and 7.74%. The treatment without soaking and fermentation had the highest percentages of caramelly and nutty areas, namely 23.14% and 21.35%, respectively.
Effect of processing methods (washed, honey, natural, anaerobic) of catimor coffee on physical and sensory quality in Alto Inambari, Peru
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-17) Antezana, Ricardo Nahuel Valenzuela; Luna-Mercado, Genny Isabel
Coffee cultivation is an important economic activity, produced mainly by small producers, being a major exportation product in Peru. Among the coffee varieties grown in the Puno region, the Catimor variety predominates, mainly because of its resistance to yellow rust and productivity. Was investigated the effect on the physical and sensory quality of four coffee processing methods (washed, honey, natural, anaerobic) and a control sample. Samples of three kilograms of Catimor coffee were harvested for each benefit method, then the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) methodology was applied to evaluate the physical and sensory quality, and the results were analyzed with analysis of variance and Tukey's multiple comparison. The results showed that yield, the main attribute of physical quality, grouped the treatments into two different groups: (1) control 71.17%, washed 75.83%, honey 75.24% and (2) natural 44.45%, anaerobic 45.70%; regarding to the sensory quality, of the sensory attributes only fragrance and body are significantly different, the total cup score was: 82.50 (control), 84.00 (washed), 82.88 (honey), 85.75 (natural) and 87.38 (anaerobic). There is a significant difference between the treatments, despite of the lower yields of the natural and anaerobic benefits, these benefit methods significantly improve sensory quality and therefore profitability. The study gives reference to the coffee producer on the processing method to be used to generate greater profits, and the organic and volatile components related to the benefit methods should be studied.
Carbon footprint and carbon storing capacity of arabica coffee plantations of Central America: A review
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-17) Arellano, Carolina; Hernández, Christian
Knowing the carbon footprint of agricultural systems will allow us to create mitigation and carbon capture strategies to mitigate environmental impacts. Here we reviewed the available literature about the carbon footprint associated with the cultivation of Arabica coffee in Central America region, ranging from traditional polycultures to unshaded monocultures. Subsequently, we reviewed the carbon storage data about different C stocks of a coffee plantation (i.e. living biomass, litter and soil). Finally, actions to mitigate emissions at the farm level are suggested. The major findings of this review were: i) the carbon footprints vary from 0.51 kg CO2eq/kgcherry coffee in traditional polycultures to 0.64 kg CO2eq/kgcherry coffee in unshaded monocultures. ii) Nitrogen fertilization is the main factor contributing to the carbon footprint. iii) The amount of carbon stored in living biomass varies from 53.6 Mg/ha in traditional polycultures to 9.7 Mg/ha in unshaded monocultures. The adequate use of fertilizers, periodic monitoring of soil fertility, the incorporation of functional trees (e.g. shade trees and/or nitrogen fixers) to plantations, soil conservation practices and the use of biofertilizers are some of the recommended actions to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with coffee plantations.
Use of by-products generated in the processing of coffee berries: A review
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-17) Foresti Junior, Marcelo Paiva; Siqueira, Juliano Curi de; Souza, Aline dos Reis; Matos, Mateus Pimentel de; Fia, Ronaldo
Coffee production plays an essential role in the Brazilian economy, and a large production centre is located in Minas Gerais. In recent years, there has been an increase in coffee cultivation, consequently generating coffee wastewater (CW) and solid waste (skin, pulp, parchment, and dregs) during the processing stage. Thus, the present review study seeks to characterize these by-products from the coffee production chain and present their possible applications in agribusiness and other sectors towards a circular economy, mainly related to reuse as fertilizer or energy and biomaterial recovery. CW treatment is complex given the high concentrations of organic matter, phenols, and nutrients, especially potassium. Still, its use as a liquid fertilizer is highly recommended as it can increase crop yield. In this regard, CW should be applied to soil according to nutritional criteria, with potassium as the reference chemical element. The wastewater production and its potential for soil contamination can be reduced by applying biological, physical, or chemical treatment along with recirculation routes during the washing/peeling/pulping of coffee berries. Moreover, the solid waste from coffee production can be used for energy generation, wastewater treatment (as an organic filter material or biochar), and as organic fertilizer (in natura or composted).

(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-18) Jitjaroen, Wanphen; Kongngoen, Rungtiwa; Panjai, Lachinee
The goal is to improve the flavors of Arabica coffee by combining semi-carbonic maceration (SCM) process, with enzymatic process at various lengths and temperature. Five different variations of SCM processes were investigated: pulped natural process (control); at 15 oC for 10 days (SCM-15); at 20 oC for 10 days (SCM-20); with 0.01 g.L-1 pectinases A (polygalacturonase, pectin esterase and pectin lyase) at 20 oC for 5 days (SCM-PA); and with 0.03 g.L-1 pectinases B (polygalacturonase, pectin esterase, pectin lyase and ß-glucanase) at 20 oC for 5 days (SCM-PB). The chemical composition of intact mucilage and green bean coffee were analyzed. The environments created by using SCM fermentation process at 20 oC combined with pectinase A and pectinase B produced green bean coffee with higher content of acidity and reducing sugar. The volatile compounds of roasted coffee were examined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Fifty-one volatile compounds belonging to 12 chemical classes were identiﬁed. The different total peak area, indicates that most volatile compounds, increases during SCM, and SCM process combined with enzymatic method. The Specialty Coffee Association of America; SCAA sensory analysis was performed by trained specialty coffee judges. The final product of coffee beans, which has been treated with SCM process at 15 and 20 oC have obtained the highest score in fragrance, flavor, aftertaste, body, balance and overall impression. While the enzyme treatment has attained the highest scores in acidity. This study demonstrates that the proposed process may be useful for the improvement of the cup quality.

(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-19) Lima, Amador Eduardo de; Castro, Elisa de Melo; Cunha, Samuel Henrique Braga da; Guimarães, Rubens José; Chalfun, Nilton Nagib Jorge; Carvalho, Alex Mendonça de; Alves, Eduardo; Carvalho, Milene Alves Figueiredo
The production of seedlings is a determining factor for the establishment and success of the coffee plantation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production of Coffea canephora seedlings by cuttings in a modified hydroponic system and in a conventional nursery, using different containers. At the end of the experiment, growth (height, stem diameter, total number of pairs of leaves, leaf area, root area, dry matter weight of leaves, stem and root), physiological (chlorophyll a, b and total and stomatal conductance) and anatomical (stomatal density, functionality and opening) characteristics were analyzed. For statistical analysis, a completely randomized design (CRD) was used, with five treatments and six replications, with ten plants per plot. Seedlings produced in a modified hydroponic system using 50- and 120-cm³ tubettes show better vegetative growth and physiological characteristics compared to those produced in a nursery. Seedling management in a modified hydroponic system using 120-cm³ tubettes provides greater cutting survival percentage, number of remaining leaves and emission of shoots. In nurseries, the use of polyethylene bags provides better seedling quality and survival in relation to the use of tubettes, regardless of volume.

The results showed that the most preferred by panelists was the cold canistel coffee of 70:30. It has dominant sensory of caramelly aroma and taste, green aroma, creamy taste and sweet taste. Overall, the consumers have high preference to the sensory attribute of caramelly aroma, caramelly taste and creamy taste.
Initial growth of Coffea canephora: Simulation of organomineral system and Limnoperna fortunei as soil improvement
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-08-17) Barbosa, Mariana Cristina; Sena, Karla Nascimento; Maltoni, Kátia Luciene
The use of residues can be an alternative to mineral fertilization. Manures, sources of nutrients and organic matter, are successfully used in family farming. Another residue that can be used for soil acidity amelioration is the shell of the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei), which is rich in CaCO3. This work evaluated the contribution of ground golden mussel shells (GMS) in combination with cattle (CTM) and sheep (SHM) manure to the initial growth of Conilon coffee in an acidic sandy soil. The experiment was carried out in protected cultivation in pots (30 kg) with two Conilon coffee cultivars. The treatments consisted of two doses of CTM (0 or 67 t ha-1) and four doses of GMS (0, 1, 2 and 3 t ha-1), with three replications. Each treatment was incorporated into the soil before the introduction of the seedlings in the experimental units, and 60 days later, a dose of SHM was applied on the soil surface (20 t ha-1). After 180 days, the soil fertility was analysed, and the seedling height, stem diameter, root volume and fresh and dry mass of the aerial parts and roots were measured. Furthermore, the Dickson Quality Index (DQI) was calculated. Both the sheep and the bovine manure increased the pH, the contents of P, MO, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+, and the cations exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil. The addition of GMS increased the pH and the Ca2+ content while reducing the potential acidity of the soil. A pH above 6.0 reduced the levels of micronutrients in the soil. The use of CTM and SHM shows promise in the initial growth of coffee seedlings (height - H, FMAP, fresh and dry mass of the aerial parts - DMAP, FAR, fresh and dry mass of the root system – DMR diameter, RV root volume and Dickson Quality Index ). Ipiranga 501 surpassed Verdebras G35 in aerial fresh and dry mass, root volume and IQD, with or without the addition of 3 t ha-1 of ground GMS.
Case study of modeling covariance between external factors and sensory perception of coffee
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-08-18) Resende, Mariana; Borém, Flávio Meira; Cirillo, Marcelo Ângelo
Analysis and inference of sensory perceptions in coffee beverages are complex due to numerous random causes intrinsic to productivity, preparation, and especially consumer and/or taster subjectivity. In this context, latent variables often composed of a combination of other observed variables are discarded from conventional analyses. Following this argument, this study aimed to propose a model of structural equations applied to a database, geographical indication of coffees in Serra da Mantiqueira, with a methodological contribution characterized by inclusion of a treatment effect, contemplated by different altitudes at which coffees were produced. From the methodology used, a covariance structure was estimated, and used in another statistical methodology to discriminate the effects. It is concluded that the proposed model proved to be advantageous for allowing the analysis of the relationship of latent variables, production and environmental variations, which are not considered in a sensorial analysis, and showed that, in fact, they influence the sensorial perception, for the coffees produced in the Serra da Mantiqueira region. The correlation structure generated from the covariance matrix adjusted by the model resulted in estimates that could be used in other statistical methodologies more appropriate to discriminate the effects, exemplifying the use of principal components.
Differences in chemical characteristics due to different roasting of robusta coffee beans
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-08-23) Ramadhani, Aji Fajar; Nisa, Fithri Choirun; Yunianta
Roasting is a process that contributes to the formation of compounds and flavors in coffee beans. Temperature and length of time are the main factors in the roasting process. Generally, the range of temperatures and roasting times varies significantly for different varieties of coffee beans. This study aims to determine the effect of roasting on changes in the chemical characteristics of robusta coffee beans (Coffea canephora) from Sidomulyo Village. This study used different brewing methods to brew roasted robusta coffee beans with the best chemical characteristics used a factorial randomized block design with two factors: roasting temperature, which consisted of three levels (185, 190, and 195 ⁰C), and roasting time, which consisted of three levels (10, 13, and 16 minutes). The roasted coffee beans were analyzed for water content, ash content, caffeine content, total phenol, and pH. The results of this study obtained a water content value of 3.523 ± 0.129% to 1.939 ± 0.025%, ash content of 8.119 ± 0.115% to 4.315 ± 0.260%, a caffeine content of 2.494 ± 0.015% to 2.176 ± 0.021%; total phenol of 6.251 ± 0.101% to 4.334 ± 0.117%; and a pH value of 6.675±0.126 to 4.075±0.171. At this stage, the best treatment (Zeleny method) is produced by robusta coffee beans roasted at 185⁰C for 10 minutes. Robusta coffee beans with the best treatment have a moisture content of 3.523 ± 0.129%; ash content of 4.315 ± 0.260%, the caffeine content of 2.494±0.015%; total phenol of 6.251±0.101%; and a pH value of 4.075±0.171.

The low yield of Coffee arabica could be caused by several factors such as low soil characteristics and depending on the plant age. This study aimed: (1) to obtain information on soil physicochemical characteristics and productivity of Coffee arabica in different age groups, (2) to evaluate the land suitability for C. arabica plants and obtain the relationship between land characteristics and C. arabica yield. This study was conducted on C. arabica smallholders in Tarutung Subdistrict, North Tapanuli District, North Sumatra, Indonesia from October 2021 to February 2022 and used a descriptive-analytic method. Overlay maps of soil type, altitude, and slope to obtain a Soil Map Unit (SMU) then surveyed for the plant age distribution of 6-10 and 11-15 years. Land characteristics were analyzed by matching method, multiple linear regression, and t-test of yielding characters using IBM SPSS software. The results showed that the soil physicochemical characteristics were classified as low, the soil texture was slightly sticky, and higher productivity was found at 11-15 years old. It was found that the potential and actual land suitability classes were not suitable (N) in SMU-1 at 11-15 years, and other SMUs were classified as marginally suitable (S3). Altitude, silt, and clay fractions significantly affect the productivity of C. arabica plants at 6-10 years. However, an increase in altitude, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, and organic-C could be increased the productivity of C. arabica at 6-10 years.
