Item Espectroscopia no infravermelho médio e análise sensorial aplicada à detecção de adulteração de café torrado por adição de cascas de café(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2012) Tavares, Katiany Mansur; Pereira, Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga; Nunes, Cleiton Antônio; Pinheiro, Ana Carla Marques; Rodarte, Mírian Pereira; Guerreiro, Mário CésarMid-infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics were used to identify adulteration in roasted and ground coffee by addition of coffee husks. Consumers’ sensory perception of the adulteration was evaluated by a triangular test of the coffee beverages. Samples containing above 0.5% of coffee husks from pure coffees were discriminated by principal component analysis of the infrared spectra. A partial least-squares regression estimated the husk content in samples and presented a root-mean-square error for prediction of 2.0%. The triangular test indicated that were than 10% of coffee husks are required to cause alterations in consumer perception about adulterated beverages.Item The use of fatty acid profile as a potential marker for brazilian coffee (Coffea arabica L.) for corn adulteration(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2008) Jham, Gulab N.; Berhow, Mark A.; Manthey, Linda K.; Palmquist, Deborah A.; Vaughn, Steven F.Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition of the coffee (Coffea arabica L.) varieties Catuai, Catucaí, Bourbom, Mundo Novo, Rubí and Topázio known to produce beverage of intermediate, excellent, excellent, intermediate, intermediate and poor quality, respectively, was determined for the first time. Average area % of the FAMEs of the six varieties was: palmitic (38.2), stearic (8.3), oleic (8.6), linoleic (38.5), linolenic (1.6) and arachidic (3.6) acids, respectively. The method was very quick with complete characterization (>99%) of the samples studied being possible in less than 6 min. While these values may provide insights for evaluating the coffee quality, no significant effect (p < 0.05) of coffee variety was found on area % of the FAMEs. In addition, FAMEs of six corn samples, six commercial coffee brands and one commercial coffee sample intentionally contaminated with three levels of corn were compared. Although the linoleic/stearic ratio was significantly different in coffee and corn FAMEs, this probe could not be used a marker to detect corn adulteration in commercial coffees.Item Differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometric analysis to the determination of coffee adulteration by corn(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2017) Brondi, Ariadne M.; Torres, Claudia; Garcia, Jerusa S.; Trevisan, Marcello G.Roasted and ground coffee is targeted by fraudulent addiction of products. In this way the determination of contaminants in coffee has economic and nutritional importance. In this study, the coffee adulteration by corn were detected using DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) coupled to PCA (principal component analysis), and PLS (partial least squares) models. Three different levels of roasted and ground Coffea arabica L. were used to prepare mixtures with roasted and ground corn. The level of adulteration used was between 0.5 to 40% (m/m). It was observed that both DSC and FTIR coupled with PCA are able to discriminate adulterated from unadulterated samples of coffee by corn at levels below 1%. PLS models were built with DSC and FTIR data reaching good correlation between the values of estimated and reference concentrations, with RMSECV (root mean square error of cross-validation) lower than 3.5% for DSC data and 2.7% for FTIR data.
