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 Influence of flowering and additional fertilization on physical and sensory aspects of arabica coffee(Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, 2019) Rocha, Richardson Sales; Simão, João Batista Pavesi; Peluzio, João Batista Esteves; Ferrari, Jeferson Luiz; Gravina, Geraldo de AmaralIn Caparaó region, Brazil, in areas above 1000 m high, a second flowering (called late or from March) is common to take place, causing changes in the crop management for those intending to produce specialty coffees. The objective of this study was to evaluate physical and sensory aspects of arabica coffee from the Caparaó region, produced in traditional and late plantations in the same fields, using two fertilization regimes, one recommended by specific literature and another with the addition of extra fertilizers (33%), respecting the proportions amid them. The employed factorial analysis allowed identifying the interaction between the two levels of nutrition and the two harvests, for the analyzed attributes. The extra addition of fertilizers provided a reduction in the mean score of the fragrance/aroma and overall sensory attributes in the traditional harvest; and in the late harvest, it alone was responsible for raising the scores of the following sensory attributes: flavor, aftertaste, acidity, balance and total. The added extra amount of fertilizer, unassisted, altered the coffee physical aspects, reducing their defects/imperfections.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.
