Item Mathematical modeling of dehydration resistance of pericarp tissues and endosperm in fruits of arabic coffee(Editora UFLA, 2020) Dias, Camila de Almeida; Andrade, Ednilton Tavares de; Lemos, Isabella Àvila; Borém, Flávio Meira; Westerich, Diogo Nogueira; Silva, Ana Claudia Almeida daCoffee represents an important source of income for producers and for the Brazilian economy, being the second product in the country’s agricultural exports. Unlike other agricultural products, freshly harvested coffee has a high fruit water content, approximately 60% (dry base). It is fundamental to optimize the drying process for cost reduction and quality maintenance, making it necessary to understand the interdependence relation of the tissues of the pericarp and the coffee endosperm during the dehydration of the fruit. The objective of this work was to elaborate a drying model for the constituent parts of coffee fruits evaluating the resistance of each of the pericarp tissues and endosperm. The experiment was set up in a 4x6 factorial scheme (4 relative humidity of the drying air and natural, pulped natural coffee, pericarp tissues and endosperm: 1 - natural coffee and 2 – pulped natural coffee, 3 - exocarp + a portion of mesocarp, 4 - mesocarp, 5 - endocarp, 6 - endosperm]) in a completely randomized design with four replicates. The results were analyzed through analysis of variance and regression, using the statistical software STATISTICA 5.0®. The resistance to water outflow, regardless of the processing or the fruit part of the coffee, is greater when the coffee is dried with the lowest relative humidity. The natural coffee was the treatment that presented greater resistance, while the lower resistance was presented by the exocarp + a portion of mesocarp.Item Profile of organic acids and bioactive compounds in the sensory quality discrimination of arabica coffee(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Ribeiro, Diego Egídio; Borém, Flávio Meira; Nunes, Cleiton Antônio; Alves, Ana Paula de Carvalho; Santos, Claudia Mendes dos; Taveira, José Henrique da Silva; Dias, Laryanne Lopes de CarvalhoThis study was conducted to investigate the potential of organic acids and bioactive compounds present in rawbeans to differentiate the sensory quality of coffee from different genotypes and processing methods. During the 2010, 2011 and 2012 crop seasons, beverage quality was analyzed, as well as the profile of organic acids and bioactive compounds caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids (3,4 and 5-CQA) in raw coffee beans from genotypes Bourbon Amarelo and Acaiá. The samples were collected in commercial fields with altitudes ranging from 932 to 1391 m, in the municipality of Carmo de Minas, MG, Brazil. Two processing methods were adopted: dry process (natural) and wet process (mechanically pulped and demucilaged coffee). All harvest and post-harvest procedures were carried out according to the main technologies for the production of specialty coffees. The sensory analysis was performed using the methodology proposed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Chemical analyses were performed by High performance liquid chromatography. Data were investigated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The variations in the contents of organic acids and bioactive compounds were due to the coffee processing method. For genotypes Bourbon Amarelo and Acaiá, the differences in the organic acid profile, associated with caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids (3,4 and 5-CQA), were essential to differentiate the quality of mechanically pulped and demucilaged coffee. No significant differences were observed in the sensory quality of natural coffee due to the analysis of organic acids and bioactive compoundsItem 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 Cinética de secagem de café natural para diferentes temperaturas e baixa umidade relativa(Editora UFLA, 2013-04) Alves, Guilherme Euripedes; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Borém, Flávio Meira; Siqueira, Valdiney Cambuy; Oliveira, Pedro Damasceno; Andrade, Ednilton TavaresDiante da importância da secagem na fase da pós-colheita do café e seu reflexo na qualidade final do produto, objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar a cinética da secagem em diferentes temperaturas do ar de secagem, para uma baixa temperatura de ponto de orvalho de frutos de café arábica (Coffea arabica L.), processados via seca. Os frutos foram colhidos manualmente e submetidos à separação hidráulica. Para a secagem dos frutos, com teor de água inicial de 1,9 ± 0,1 kg.kg -1 (bs), utilizou-se secador mecânico a três temperaturas de bulbo seco (35 °C, 40 °C e 45 °C) para a mesma temperatura de ponto de orvalho (2,6 °C) do ar de secagem. Sete modelos matemáticos foram ajustados aos dados experimentais para caracterizar o processo de secagem dos frutos do cafeeiro. Os modelos de Henderson e Pabis modificado e de Resíduos Sucessivos com dois termo, foram os mais adequados para descrever o processo de secagem, sendo escolhido o de Henderson e Pabis modificado, pela maior simplicidade. A elevação da temperatura de bulbo seco, sob baixa temperatura de ponto de orvalho, provoca aumento no coeficiente de difusividade efetivo, na taxa de secagem e redução no tempo de secagem. Para as condições estudadas, o coeficiente de difusividade efetivo de água para os frutos do cafeeiro varia entre 1,908 e 3,721 x 10 -11 m2.s -1 . A energia de ativação para a difusão líquida, descrita pela equação de Arrhenius, foi de 52,89 kJ.mol -1 .
