Item Influência de fatores extrínsecos ao produto no julgamento hedônico e percepção de sabor de cafés especiais(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2020-05-26) Sousa, Maísa Mancini Matioli de; Pereira, Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga; Carvalho, Fabiana Mesquita de; Leme, Paulo Henrique Montagnana VicenteThe multisensory attributes of the packaging of a food product create sensory and hedonic expectations and its main focus is to attract the consumers‘ attention. The various elements and characteristcs contained in the packaging may affect the selection and/or judgment of the product. In this way, two studies were carried out: the first aimed to assess whether the colour and/or shape of the design elements on the labels of specialty coffee packaging would influence the sensory and hedonic judgments by amateur consumers; and the objective of the second study was to investigate whether the typeface of packaging labels on specialty coffee would influence the sensory and hedonic judgments by amateur consumers. In the two experiments, the participants first evaluated their expectations of coffee acidity and sweetness only by looking at the labels on the coffee package. Subsenquently, they rated their experiences of the same attributes when tasting a cup of coffee, in addition to rating their liking and purchase intent. In each study, the same coffee was served to all participants. Both followed a between-subjects experimental design, that is, each participant assesed only a single coffee packaging and the data were analysed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). In the first experiment a 2 × 2 factorial design was used, for the evaluation of four different types of labels (green or pink, round or angular). For the second experiment, two different types of labels were developed, varying between roundness and angularity of typeface. The results of study I demonstrated that both colour and shape significantly affected consumers' sensory expectations, but had no significant effect after tasting on sensory rating regarding the specialty coffee. It was also observed that the interactions between colour × shape affected the hedonic measures, since the coffee associated with the congruent label (angular/green and round/pink) received higher liking and purchase intent ratings than the coffee associated with incongruent label (angular/pink and round/green). In study II, it was observed that the angular typeface increased expectation and perception of the coffee acidity, as well purchase intent ratings. However, contrary to the frequently suggested correspondence between sweetness and roundness, no association was found between the round typeface and sweet taste ratings. Therefore, these results demonstrate the importance of the visual attributes of packaging to define sensory expectations and affect the perception of specialty coffees.Item Into the minds of coffee consumers: perception, preference, and impact of information in the sensory analysis of specialty coffee(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos, 2021-02-22) Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Martinez, Silvia Juliana; Batista, Nádia Nara; Simão, João Batista Pavesi; Schwan, Rosane FreitasThis study aimed to analyze the knowledge, perspectives, and preferences of consumers about specialty coffees and to investigate how information can influence the perception of taste and the sensory characteristics of consumers. A descriptive-analytic survey was conducted through a questionnaire in a digital format with 1005 respondents. Four trained Q-Grader tasters evaluated a sample of cherry coffee fermented. The Specialty Coffee Association developed the cupping protocol used. According to the perceived descriptors, a sensory analysis was performed with the same coffee with 101 consumers to evaluate the influence of information received before the analysis. The chocolate flavor is the most expected in coffee. However, the participants are willing to try different specialty coffees. The coffee has been considered excellent (85.15 points) by Q-Grader tasters and widely accepted by consumers. Check-all-that-Apply (CATA) test showed that consumers could be influenced by information. When the coffee has been presented without information, the consumers noticed a more caramel flavor. However, when the information has been added to the same coffee, the citric flavor was more noticeable. In conclusion, information on specialty coffees should be more widespread. Consumer's expectations can be influenced by information, which in turn can modify their sensory perception.Item Tasters’ performance in a coffee quality contest in Brazil(Editora UFLA, 2021) Pinheiro, Aracy Camilla Tardin; Fabri Júnior, Marcos Antônio; Cruz, Cosme Damião; Rufino, José Luis dos Santos; Sakiyama, Ney SussumuThe objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of coffee tasters in five annual editions of Minas Gerais Coffee Quality Contest. The repeat ability coefficients of the tasters’ scores for sensory attributes were estimated, as well as the minimum numbers of tasters required for consistent sensory results, and the groups of tasters by (dis)similarity of sensory scores. For the repeatability analysis, the treatments (coffees) were tested with the repeti tions, constituted by the tasters. The repeatability coefficients were estimated using the analysis of variance, principal component and structural analysis methods. The minimum number of tasters was obtained based on pre-established determination coefficients. Euclidean distance matrices between tasters were determined, which were used as a measure of dissimilarity for cluster analysis by the Tocher optimization method. The tasters’ performance in five annual editions of Minas Gerais Coffee Quality Contest is reliable using COE or SCA sensory analysis protocols. Although not fully calibrated, most tasters are grouped with similar cupping results. Unless efficient calibration prior to the contest is adopted, the number of tasters to be used in the next contest editions can not be drastically and randomly reduced, since the estimated minimum number varied over the years. Calibration activities are sug gested to improve two main aspects of the Minas Gerais Coffee Quality Contest: distinguishing the best coffees and trainning tasters.Item Sensory analysis and mid-infrared spectroscopy for discriminating roasted specialty coffees(Editora UFLA, 2021) Debona, Danieli Grancieri; Oliveira, Emanuele Catarina da Silva; Caten, Carla Schwengber ten; Guarçoni, Rogério Carvalho; Moreira, Taís Rizzo; Pereira, Lucas Louzada; Moreli, Aldemar PoloniniIn general, the process of roasting coffee uses a rotated fix drum or fluidized bed. Theoretically, the fluidized bed can provide more homogenous roastings throughout the process. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the sensorial and chemical attributes for two different coffees submitted to three roasting profiles using fluidized bed roaster. The coffees were roasted for a high temperature for a short time (HTST), medium temperature for a medium time (MTMT), and low temperature for a long time (LTLT). Sensory analysis was performed on the roasted coffees according to the SCA methodology and chemical analy sis through mid-infrared spectroscopy. The results of sensory analysis indicated a preference for MTMT roasting for coffee grown at high altitude and HTST roasting for coffee grown at low altitude. Chemically, coffees show that LTLT and MTMT roasts are most distant from each other in their chemical com position when roasting low altitude coffee, whereas the HTST and MTMT roasts are the most distant from each other when roasting high altitude coffee.Item Into the minds of coffee consumers: perception, preference, and impact of information in the sensory analysis of specialty coffee(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos, 2021) Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Martinez, Silvia Juliana; Batista, Nádia Nara; Simão, João Batista Pavesi; Schwan, Rosane FreitasThis study aimed to analyze the knowledge, perspectives, and preferences of consumers about specialty coffees and to investigate how information can influence the perception of taste and the sensory characteristics of consumers.
