    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 César
    Mid-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.

    Sensory quality prediction of coffee assessed by physicochemical parameters and Multivariate model
    (Editora UFLA, 2020) Domingues, Laricia Oliveira Cardoso; Garcia, Aline de Oliveira; Ferreira, Marcia Miguel Castro; Morgano, Marcelo Antônio
    Beverages from roasted coffee can be classified according to their sensory quality into Gourmet, Superior, Traditional, and not recommended for supply coffees. However, the sensory evaluation of coffee has been questioned as it can induce a subjective bias, since the assessors may be influenced by psychological, physiological, and/or emotional factors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop multivariate models for predicting the overall quality of Gourmet, Superior, and Traditional coffees, based on the physical and physicochemical parameters. One hundred and eight ground roasted coffee samples were evaluated for particle size, degree of roasting, histological identification, moisture, ash, aqueous extract, soluble solids (Brix), pH, and sensory profiling. All categories presented fine grinding. No significant differences were observed in the moisture content and soluble solids (Brix) of Gourmet, Superior, Traditional, not recommended for supply coffee samples. The Traditional and not recommended for supply presented higher levels of aqueous extract, ash, and pH. Light degree of roast and higher acidity values were observed with the increase in coffee quality grades. The results of the physical and physicochemical parameters and the principal component analysis allowed the separation of coffees into only two classes: high-quality (Gourmet and Superior) and low-quality (Traditional and not recommended). Furthermore, the one-class classification (OCC) method showed good sensitivity and was able to satisfactorily distinguish the Gourmet coffee samples from the other samples, in this way, this model can be used to corroborate but not replace the sensory analysis.

    Chemical and sensory perception of robusta coffees under wet processing
    (Editora UFLA, 2020) Oliveira, Emanuele Catarina da Silva; Guarçoni, Rogério Carvalho; Castro, Eustáquio Vinicius Ribeiro de; Castro, Marina Gomes de; Pereira, Lucas Louzada
    The quality of the coffee is determined by the sensorial analysis, using subjective methods and it is known that this quality is related to the chemical constituents of the grains. The present study used infrared spectroscopy to correlate the chemical composition of the grain with the final quality of the product and to assist in the current evaluation method, generating more reliability in the process. This study applied the spontaneous and induced fermentation with starter cultures (yeast) to evaluate the sensory potential from the impacts generated by the types of processes adopted. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design with five replicates, in a 3x4 factorial scheme, with three fermentation times: 24, 48, and 72 hours and four wet processes: Washed, Yeast fermentation, Fully washed without yeast, and Fully washed with yeast. Infrared spectra were taken in the medium region (FTIR-ATR) of the 34 samples generated by the treatments. Given that the method of determining the quality of coffee is subjective, based on scores given by cuppers, the FTIR-ATR spectra were used in the construction of chemometric models to predict sensory ratings given to the attribute ‘acidity’. The mean error of prediction of the model constructed for the sensory score was 0.11. Sensory results indicated a higher score for the acidity attribute, in dry fermentation with yeast at the time of 48 hours, suggesting a new strategy for the production of quality robusta coffee.
