Item Drying kinetics of processed natural coffee with high moisture content(Editora UFLA, 2017-07) Siqueira, Valdiney Cambuy; Borém, Flávio Meira; Alves, Guilherme Eurípedes; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Pinto, Afonso Celso Ferreira; Ribeiro, Diego Egídio; Ribeiro, Fabiana CarmaniniThe present study proposes a new processing and drying method and evaluates the behavior of grains subjected to this process through the water reduction rate and the adjustment of different mathematical models. Mature beans were divided into three batches. The first batch was continuously dried at 40±1 °C. The second batch consisted of natural coffee dried to moisture contents of 0.56±0.02, 0.41±0.02, 0,28±0.02 and 0.20±0.02 decimal (dry basis, d.b.), followed by processing and continuous drying at 35±1 oC and 40±1 oC. For all parcels, the drying process was ended when the coffee beans reached the moisture content level of 0.12±0.05 (d.b.). The third batch corresponded to the continuous drying of hulled and demucilated coffee at 40±1 °C. The experimental data were adjusted to ten mathematical models used to represent the drying of agricultural products. The grain water reduction rate was also evaluated. We concluded that the water reduction rate was highest for the drying temperature of 40±1 °C, especially at higher moisture contents. The total drying time for processed coffee with high moisture content was significantly reduced compared with the total drying time of natural coffee. The Midilli model satisfactorily describes the drying kinetics of processed coffee.Item Spray drying of coffee leaf extract(Editora UFLA, 2016-07) Corrêa, Jefferson Luiz Gomes; Mendonça, Kamilla Soares de; Rodrigues, Leonardo Reis; Resende, Mário Lúcio Vilela; Alves, Guilherme EurípedesThe coffee leaf extract formulation has been used as resistance inductor in plants and to control phytopathologies. This work aimed to study the influence of spray drying process variables with the use of maltodextrin as carrier on the characteristics of the powder, by using a central composite rotational design (CCRD). The independent variables were maltodextrin concentration (X 1 , 0 to 30 % w/v), coffee leaf extract concentration (X 2 , 2 to 32 % w/v), inlet air temperature (X 3 , 180 to 250 °C) and air flow rate (X 4 , 3.5 to 5.5 m 3 min -1 ). The response variables were collection efficiency (h) , moisture content (MC), phenolic compounds content (Ph), soluble solids (S) content, wettability (We) and particle size (Me). The results showed that the combination of a higher concentrations of coffee leaf extract (X 2) (32%) and lower inlet air temperatures (X 3 ) (180°C) make the best drying performance. This process condition lead to a powder with higher Ph, S, We, Me and lower MC. Therefore, the use of high air flow rates (X 4 ) increase the collection efficiency (h) of process and the use of low maltodextrin concentration (X 1 ) lead to better preservation of phenolic compounds content (Ph) on coffee leaf extract powdered.
