    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 Freitas
    This 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.

    Otimização por Page do processo de secagem em leito de espuma para produção de café solúvel
    (Instituto de Tecnologia de Alimentos – ITAL, 2020) Silva, Gustavo Henrique Souza; Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Junqueira, Mateus da Silva
    A expansão da produção de café solúvel é uma alternativa ao consumo do café tradicional, tornando-se necessária para atender às novas exigências dos consumidores que buscam conveniência e praticidade. Diante desse cenário, o estudo de técnicas que simplificam e reduzem custos para a obtenção de café solúvel se torna mais pertinente. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi otimizar o processo de secagem de extrato de café em leito de espuma, por meio do ajuste ao Modelo de Page por regressão não linear. Foram avaliados dois métodos para a concentração do extrato: (A) em evaporador rotativo e (B) em recipiente de inox aberto. A cinética de secagem do extrato de café em leito de espuma sob as temperaturas de 40, 50, 60, 70 e 80 °C foi descrita pelo modelo. Além disso, foi proposta uma equação multivariada para a secagem mediante detecção da influência da temperatura no parâmetro k, do Modelo de Page, e posterior validação dos resultados. O tempo para obtenção do extrato concentrado foi próximo para os dois métodos de concentração (A: 2 horas e 30 minutos; B: 2 horas e 40 minutos). O modelo de Page apresentou ótimo ajuste com valores de coeficientes de determinação acima de 99%. Por meio dos resultados obtidos, foi confirmado que a temperatura é um fator determinante na velocidade de perda de umidade do produto, apresentando tempos de secagem menores com o aumento da temperatura. A correlação entre os dados experimentais e preditos foi satisfatória para validar os resultados. O modelo matemático também pode auxiliar na correlação dos parâmetros de secagem com alterações físico-químicas e sensoriais do café solúvel, a fim de melhorar os parâmetros tecnológicos.

    Coffee protein profiles during fermentation using different yeast inoculation methods
    (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - Embrapa, 2020) Bressani, Ana Paula Pereira; Martinez, Silvia Juliana; Vilela, Leonardo de Figueiredo; Dias, Disney Ribeiro; Schwan, Rosane Freitas
    The objective of this work was to evaluate the protein profiles of natural and semidry fermented Coffea arabica, either subjected to treatments with different yeast inoculation methods with starter culture or to na uninoculated control. Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCMA 0543 and Candida parapsilosis CCMA 0544 were separately inoculated into coffee by directly spraying the cherries on a terrace or in buckets, for 16 hours before sun drying. Protein quantification showed a significant difference between the protein profiles of the samples collected after natural dry fermentation. The MALDI-TOF MS analysis generated a list of 96 peaks with different massto- charge ratios (m/z) in the samples collected at the beginning and the end of fermentation. The highest number of peaks in the natural dry coffee was observed at the end of fermentation in the samples inoculated with S. cerevisiae CCMA 0543, in bucket, and in C. parapsilosis CCMA 0544 sprayed on the terrace. However, in the semidry processed coffee, the highest number of peaks was observed in the initial fermentation, with a decrease in the peptide peaks after fermentation. The fermentation with different microorganisms, processing types, and inoculation methods affects m/z profiles, influencing the types of proteins found in coffee.
