Item Colouring of coffee grains related to different relative humidity of the drying air after partial drying(Revista Engenharia na Agricultura, 2020-11-23) Moreira, Rodrigo Victor; Corrêa, Jefferson Luiz GomesChanges in color of coffee grains are indications of occurrence of oxidative processes and biochemical changes, which can alter the taste and aroma precursors of the grains, resulting in lower beverage quality. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the color characteristics of peeled coffee grains subjected to different relative humidity of the drying air after partial drying. Coffee (Coffea arabica) fruits were harvested in the cherry stage and were wet processed. The treatments were the results of the combination of three dry bulb temperatures and three dew point temperatures. The control of dew point temperature was performed only after the grains reach the partial drying. Considering the Tbd of 40 °C - 40 °C, the reduction of the Tpd (2.6 °C) increased the grains bleaching, while the increase of Tpd (16.2 °C) resulted in a more yellowish-red. Tbd of 40 °C - 35 °C and 35 °C - 35 °C are indicated for bluish-green color formation, associated with higher sensory quality. The Color Saturation (C*) of the coffee grains are highly correlated with the b* color parameter, while the tonality (Hue) is negatively correlated with the a* color parameter.Item Spray drying of coffee leaf extract(Editora UFLA, 2016-07) Corrêa, Jefferson Luiz Gomes; Mendonça, Kamilla Soares de; Rodrigues, Leonardo Reis; Resende, Mário Lúcio Vilela; Alves, Guilherme EurípedesThe coffee leaf extract formulation has been used as resistance inductor in plants and to control phytopathologies. This work aimed to study the influence of spray drying process variables with the use of maltodextrin as carrier on the characteristics of the powder, by using a central composite rotational design (CCRD). The independent variables were maltodextrin concentration (X 1 , 0 to 30 % w/v), coffee leaf extract concentration (X 2 , 2 to 32 % w/v), inlet air temperature (X 3 , 180 to 250 °C) and air flow rate (X 4 , 3.5 to 5.5 m 3 min -1 ). The response variables were collection efficiency (h) , moisture content (MC), phenolic compounds content (Ph), soluble solids (S) content, wettability (We) and particle size (Me). The results showed that the combination of a higher concentrations of coffee leaf extract (X 2) (32%) and lower inlet air temperatures (X 3 ) (180°C) make the best drying performance. This process condition lead to a powder with higher Ph, S, We, Me and lower MC. Therefore, the use of high air flow rates (X 4 ) increase the collection efficiency (h) of process and the use of low maltodextrin concentration (X 1 ) lead to better preservation of phenolic compounds content (Ph) on coffee leaf extract powdered.Item Drying of spent coffee grounds in a cyclonic dryer(Editora UFLA, 2014-01) Corrêa, Jefferson Luiz Gomes; Santos, Johnson Clay Pereira; Fonseca, Bruno Elyezer; Carvalho, Ana Gabriela da SilvaSpent coffee grounds is a byproduct from the soluble coffee company. Besides its use as animal feed or lipid source, it presents a high potential as biofuel. Whatever the application, to be useful, the product has to loose great part of its moisture content. The drying of spent coffee grounds in a cyclonic dryer was studied in the present work. Based on a experimental design, the effects of temperature of the air (T a ) (59 to 271 oC) and of the ratio mass flow rate of spent coffee grounds to mass flow rate of air (W c /W a ) (0.1 to 3.6) on the moisture reduction (M r ) and average residence time of the particles on the cyclonic dryer (APRT) were studied. It was observed an inverse relation between M r and the ratio W c /W a and a direct relation between M r and T a . Regarding the APRT, it presented an inverse relation to W c /W a . Additionally, the characterization of the spent coffee grounds was performed with respect to the centesimal composition, density and granulometric distribution. It was observed increasing the density and particle size with moisture increasing. It was shown that the cyclone could be an efficient dryer for particulate solids with the advantages of high moisture reduction within short residence time.
