    Multivariate analysis of sensory characteristics of coffee grains (Coffea arabica L.) in the region of upper Paranaíba
    (Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2010-10) Pereira, Marcelo Cláudio; Chalfoun, Sara Maria; Carvalho, Gladyston Rodrigues de; Savian, Taciana Villela
    This study aimed to examine the sensory characteristics of the grains of 21 cultivars of Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre from the essays of genetic improvement of EPAMIG, located in Patrocínio Municipality, Minas Gerais State, where they were collected through cloths stripping method and washed. Subsequently to dry (11 to 12% moisture b.u.), we obtained the coffee designated as “natural”. The evaluated varieties were: Acaiá Cerrado MG 1474; Bourbon Vermelho DATERRA; Catiguá MG 1; Catiguá MG 2; Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62; Catuaí Vermelho IAC 15; H 419-3-1-4-2; H 419- 6-2 -5-2; H 419-6-2-5-3; H 419-6-2-7-3 Vermelho; H 493-1-2-10; H 514-7-10-1 Vermelho; H 514-7-10-6; H 515-4-2-2; H 518-3-6-1; Icatú Amarelo IAC 3282; Mundo Novo 379-19; Mundo Novo IAC 376-4; Rubi MG 1192; Sacramento MG 1 and Topázio MG 1190, from 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 seasons. The cultivars according to the first principal component with notes above 80 points, regarded as superior drink according to attributes with the highest scores (flavor, sweetness, balance, acidity, clean drink, and aspect) were: Catiguá MG2, Rubi MG 1192, 514-7-10-6 H, H 419-3-1-4-2, H 419-6-2-5-2, 493-1-2-10 H, H 514-7-10-1 Vermelho, Catiguá MG1, Sacramento MG1, 419-6-2-5-3 H, H 515-9-2-2 and Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62.

    Simulation of coffee fruit drying using computational fluid dynamics
    (Editora UFLA, 2018-10) Amaral, Rudney; Andrade, Ednilton Tavares de; Gomes, Francisco Carlos; Borém, Flávio Meira; Lemos, Isabela Avila; Dias, Camila de Almeida
    Drying is a fundamental step in post-harvest handling of coffee because moisture content at the end of drying affects several important aspects, such as sensory quality, storability, and color of the fruit coffee. Within this context, the aim of this study is to determine water distribution within the natural coffee fruit during and at the end of the drying process. For that purpose, simulations were made through finite elements using computational fluid dynamics. Experimental data on moisture content of coffee fruit in the “cherry” stage were collected during drying, which was carried out at a temperature of 40°C and relative humidity of 25% to 0.18 decimal l(dry basis – d.b.) to compare the results of the experiment with the results of the simulations. Ten mathematical models of the drying process were developed for the collected data. The two-term exponential model best fit the data. The results of the simulations in computational fluid dynamics were compared to the results from experimental drying, and a satisfactory fit was obtained. The effective diffusivity coefficient (D eff ) was developed for the model proposed, obtaining the value of 2.87 x 10 ‐11 m 2 s -1 . At the end of drying, the model exhibited 57.1% of the projection area of the coffee fruit with moisture content below 0.18 decimal (d.b.). Thus, the model can be used for other applications.
