Item Physiological and sensorial quality of Arabica coffee subjected to different temperatures and drying airflows(Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2017-04) Alves, Guilherme Euripedes; Borém, Flávio Meira; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Siqueira, Valdiney Cambuy; Cirillo, Marcelo Ângelo; Pinto, Afonso Celso FerreiraThe objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between a group of physiological variables (electrical conductivity, potassium leaching, and germination percentage) and a group of drying kinetics variables (drying time and drying rate) in addition to verifying the relation between drying kinetics variables and coffee quality as a function of processing type, temperature, and drying airflow. Coffee drying was conducted in a fixed-layer dryer at two temperatures and two airflows. After drying, an evaluation of the physiological and sensorial quality was conducted. Based on the results obtained, the following conclusions were drawn: coffee that is processed via a dry method is more sensitive to mechanical drying with heated air than coffee processed via a wet method, resulting in poor physiological performance; airflow does not interfere with the physiological quality of pulped and natural coffees; a temperature increase from 40 to 45°C resulted in a decrease in the physiological quality only for pulped coffee; and an increase in the drying rate as a result of an increase in the drying temperature to 40°C had a negative effect on the sensorial quality of pulped coffee.Item Quality of natural and pulped coffee as a function of temperature changes during mechanical drying(Editora UFLA, 2018-10) Oliveira, Pedro Damasceno de; Biaggioni, Marco Antônio Martin; Borém, Flávio Meira; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Damasceno, Mariana de Oliveira VazThis research evaluated the sensory quality of processed and dried coffee beans in different ways. Two types of processing were used: dry and wet, besides seven drying methods: drying in yard and mechanical drying with heated air at 50 oC until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with air heated to 35 oC until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 45 °C until coffee reached 30% moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 35 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; and drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 40 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 35 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 50 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 45 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 40 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content. The mechanical drying system consisted of three fixed-layer dryers, allowing the control of temperature and drying flow. Coffee was tasted according to the evaluation system proposed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Physicochemical composition and physiological quality of the beans were analyzed, involving: grease acidity, potassium leaching, electrical conductivity, color and germination. The results show that pulped coffee is more tolerant to drying than natural coffee, regardless of how it was dried.Item Qualidade do café cereja desmucilado submetido ao parcelamento da secagem(Editora UFLA, 2011-01) Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Borém, Flávio Meira; Cirillo, Marcelo Ângelo; Oliveira, Pedro Damasceno de; Cardoso, Rennan Alves; Fortunato, Valquíria AparecidaA interrupção do processo de secagem do café (Coffea arabica L.) com elevados teores de água, e a conclusão da secagem após um determinado período de repouso, já é uma técnica comumente adotada pelos cafeicultores. Porém, são escassos os relatos científicos que recomendem essa técnica. Objetivou-se, no presente trabalho, avaliar os efeitos da secagem na qualidade do café. Após a pré-secagem em terreiro, o café foi secado mecanicamente até atingir os teores de água de 16%, 20% e 24% (bu); em seguida, o café permaneceu em repouso durante dois, seis e doze dias em caixas de madeira. Após cada período de repouso, a secagem foi completada até que o café atingisse o teor de água de 11% (bu). A testemunha constituiu-se na secagem contínua até 11% (bu). Para a caracterização da qualidade do café foram realizadas as análises de condutividade elétrica, lixiviação de potássio, açúcares totais, redutores e não redutores, coloração dos grãos beneficiados e análise sensorial. Verificou-se que os valores de condutividade elétrica e de lixiviação de potássio foram significativamente menores quando a secagem do grão foi interrompida com o teor de água de 24% independente do tempo de repouso, indicando que, para esse tratamento, os danos ao sistema de membranas foram menores em relação aos demais. Verificou-se também que, para as análises de açúcares totais, redutores e não redutores, análise de coloração dos grãos e análise sensorial não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos. Conclui-se que, para as condições desse experimento, não foram observadas alterações indesejáveis na qualidade do café cuja secagem foi interrompida com o teor de água de até 24% (bu) e que permaneceu em repouso por até 12 dias.Item Teores de acidez titulável total nos frutos imaturos de café arábica processados por via seca e via úmida(Embrapa Café, 2010) Torres, Diego Fonseca; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Borém, Flávio Meira; Cardoso, Rennan Alves; Alves, Guilherme EuripedesEste trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade de frutos imaturos de café submetidos a diferentes períodos de repouso, com presença e ausência de água e processados por via seca e via úmida, através de análises dos teores de acidez titulável total.
