Item Sensory and chemical analyses of spontaneously fermented coffees(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-11-08) Borém, Flávio Meira; Alves, Ana Paula de Carvalho; Santos, Cláudia Mendes dos; Haeberlin, Luana; Salvio, Luís Gustavo AmaralCoffee 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.Item Fermented natural coffee followed by pulping: Analysis of the initial sensory quality and after six months of storage(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-09-01) Salvio, Luís Gustavo Amaral; Cirillo, Marcelo Ângelo; Borém, Flávio Meira; Alves, Ana Paula de Carvalho; Palumbo, Juliana Maria Campos; Santos, Cláudia Mendes dos; Haeberlin, Luana; Schwan, Rosane Freitas; Nakajima, Makoto; Sugino, RyosukeIn 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.Item 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, SubramaniamThe 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.
