Item Fuzzy logic in the spatial and temporal distribution in the quality of the beverage in conilon coffee(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Fonseca, Abel Souza da; Lima, Julião Soares de Souza; Silva, Samuel de Assis; Dardengo, Maria Christina Junger Delôgo; Xavier, Alexandre CandidoThe objective in this study was to evaluate the spatial and temporal variability of the beverage quality by applying the fuzzy classification in the final global sensory analysis, for Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner, in two consecutive harvests. The studied variables were: fragrance (aroma), flavor, bitterness (sweetness), set, balance, cleaning, aftertaste, mouth feel, uniformity, salinity (acidity) and drink (global note). To the average overall scores of the drinks obtained on the cup-tasting at 80.0 points of a sampling, the mesh has applied the function of association of the fuzzy classification linear model to determine the degree of pertinence. The data were analyzed by the descriptive statistics and then by geostatistics to verify the existence and quantify the degree of spatial dependence of the variables. In the interval classified as “very good coffee” is found in the global average grade, in the two harvests. The methodology fuzzy applied in the global beverage note of the coffee conilon seminal made it possible to determine their spatial variability in the same distribution pattern in the two harvests, close ranges, and adjustments to the spherical model, which was confirmed by the spatial correlation of 61.6% among the fuzzy maps for the global score.Item Sensory analysis of coffee dried with and without stirring(Editora UFLA, 2018-10) Ribeiro, Bruno Batista; Câmara, Francisco Mickael de Medeiros; Mendes, Antônio Nazareno Guimarães; Silva, Virgílio Anastácio da; Montanari, Fernanda FariaThe production of quality coffees, with different sensory characteristics, is strongly related to drying techniques. Experiments were carried out on coffee fruits, with the presence and absence of the fruit turnover process during drying, using Catuaí Vermelho 144 coffee fruits, from the Cerrado Mineiro, processed dry and wet. The treatments consisted of natural coffee, natural green coffee, pulped coffee and semi-washed coffee fruits. They were carried out in a completely randomized design, with 4 post-harvest processes, 2 types of drying (with or without Stirring) and 3 replicates, totaling 24 plots. Natural green coffee and natural coffees were more responsive in the final scores, when not stirred during the drying process, unlike the coffees obtained by wet processing. Peeled coffees obtained the highest scores for the attributes, regardless of the adoption or not of stirring during the drying process. It was possible to obtain scores above 80 points by the SCAA protocol, without stirring the coffee.Item Fuzzy logic application and cluster analysis in the quality of the beverage from conilon coffee(Editora UFLA, 2018-10) Lima, Julião Soares de Souza; Silva, Samuel de AssisThe quality of coffee beverages has been under study due to the demand of the consumer market for both arabica and conilon coffee. The aim of this work was to study beverage quality from different clones by means of sensory analysis, in 13 clones of the variety Victoria INCAPER 8142 produced at average altitudes of 100.0 m and 528.0 m and with the cherry fruits processed by natural drying or depulping. Fuzzy classification was adopted for the global scores obtained in the sensory analysis, on a scale of 70.0 to 100.0 points, with the Euclidean distance from the cluster analysis being used to define the dissimilarity between the global fuzzified scores for the different clones at the two altitudes and for the two methods of processing the fruit. Clones C4 and C10, at the intermediate maturation stage, presented a mean global score (GS) of 85.0 points for the coffee produced at the altitude of 528.0 m and for the depulped fruit, corresponding to a degree of fuzzy pertinence (FI) of 0.50, and being classified as fine coffee. These same clones presented dissimilarities in the beverage produced by the depulped fruit, with better quality for the coffee at the higher altitude. The fuzzy classification taken together with the cluster analysis to interpret the mean global scores (GS) in the sensory analysis of the beverage for the different treatments under study identified variation in beverage quality.Item Quality of natural and pulped coffee as a function of temperature changes during mechanical drying(Editora UFLA, 2018-10) Oliveira, Pedro Damasceno de; Biaggioni, Marco Antônio Martin; Borém, Flávio Meira; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Damasceno, Mariana de Oliveira VazThis research evaluated the sensory quality of processed and dried coffee beans in different ways. Two types of processing were used: dry and wet, besides seven drying methods: drying in yard and mechanical drying with heated air at 50 oC until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with air heated to 35 oC until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 45 °C until coffee reached 30% moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 35 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; and drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 40 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 35 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 50 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 45 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content; drying in fixed-layer dryers with heated air at 35 °C until coffee reached 30% (w.b.) moisture content, followed by drying with heated air at 40 °C until reaching 11% (w.b.) moisture content. The mechanical drying system consisted of three fixed-layer dryers, allowing the control of temperature and drying flow. Coffee was tasted according to the evaluation system proposed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Physicochemical composition and physiological quality of the beans were analyzed, involving: grease acidity, potassium leaching, electrical conductivity, color and germination. The results show that pulped coffee is more tolerant to drying than natural coffee, regardless of how it was dried.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 Quality of natural coffee dried under different temperatures and drying rates(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Borém, Flávio Meira; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Alves, Guilherme Euripedes; Ribeiro, Diego Egídio; Siqueira, Valdiney Cambuy; Taveira, Jose Henrique da SilvaThe final quality of coffees depends on the preservation of the cell membranes of the coffee beans, which can be damaged during the drying. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the immediate and latent effects of the air temperature and drying rate on the sensorial quality of natural coffees, as well as its relationship with the chemical e physiological characteristics of the coffee beans. Mature fruits of arabica coffee were harvested and sundried to moisture content of approximately 35% (wb) and then moved into a mechanical drier under different conditions of drying. This process involved the combination of three dry bulb temperatures – DBT (35°C, 40°C, and 45°C) and two dew point temperatures – DPT (2.6°C and 16.2°C). Thus, the relative humidity of the air used for drying was a dependent variable of DTB and DPT, and as consequences, different drying rates were achieved for each DBT. The increase in the drying rate for the temperatures 35°C and 40°C has a negative effect on the final quality of natural coffee beans. However, for the temperature of 45°C, the effects of the drying rate on the coffee beans are overlaid by the thermal damages that are caused at this level of heating. Higher sensory scores for coffee are linked to lower values of electrical conductivity and potassium leaching of the exudate of the coffee beans, as well as lower values of fatty acids. It is emphasized that while the temperature of 35o C is recommended for the production of specialty coffees the temperature of 45o C is not.Item Aplicación del proceso analítico jerárquico AHP para definir la mejor taza en evaluación de cafés especiales(Editora UFLA, 2017-07) Tapiero, Stefany Oyola; Barrios, Daniel Trujillo; Guzman, Nelson GutiérrezSe propone una metodología basada en la resolución de problemas complejos haciendo uso del Proceso Analítico Jerárquico (PAJ), para establecer los rankings en procesos de evaluación sensorial cuantitativa de varias muestras de cafés especiales. Se estableció una estructura de problema complejo en tres niveles en la que se consideraron simultáneamente diez atributos de calidad y seis muestras de cafés especiales, se conformó un panel catación con cuatro jueces entrenados en análisis sensorial de café, los juicios individuales emitidos por los catadores fueron agregados con la media geométrica y procesados con el software Expert Choice 2000. Se obtuvieron tres rankings para tres grupos de seis muestras de café; los resultados encontrados con la metodología soportada en el Proceso Analítico Jerárquico fueron comparados con los resultados obtenidos al valorar los mismos grupos de muestras con la metodología tradicional propuesta por la Asociación Americana de Cafés Especiales (SCAA), no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los dos métodos de evaluación utilizados, de acuerdo a la prueba de Chitest (p>0,05). El método propuesto facilita la toma de decisiones en los concursos de valoración de la mejor taza en cafés especiales.Item Ambiente e variedades influenciam a qualidade de cafés das matas de Minas(Editora UFLA, 2017-04) Zaidan, Úrsula Ramos; Corrêa, Paulo Cesar; Ferreira, Williams Pinto Marques; Cecon, Paulo RobertoO café é um produto agrícola que tem seu valor de mercado ajustado de acordo com a qualidade final da bebida, que pode ser influenciada por vários fatores, tais como: fatores ambientais e variedade. Diante disso, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar os efeitos da orientação da encosta da montanha, altitude e variedade da planta, sobre a qualidade potencial dos cafés produzidos na região das Matas de Minas (entre altitudes que variam de 600 a 1200 m). Frutos de café (Coffea arabica) das variedades “Catuaí Vermelho” e “Catuaí Amarelo”, provenientes de 14 municípios da região, foram colhidos manualmente no ponto de maturação fisiológica, os quais foram processados, beneficiados e armazenados. Em seguida foram feitas análises descritivas qualitativas por Juízes Certificadores, pelo teste de degustação segundo critérios da Brazil Specialty Coffee Association. Por meio da análise sensorial da bebida, foram atribuídas notas aos atributos de qualidade dos cafés objetivando classificá-los de acordo com a influência dos fatores do ambiente e da variedade. Para análise das notas foi adotada a “Estatística Descritiva” e o “Método de Tocher”. A partir dos resultados obtidos, pode-se observar que os fatores ambientais e a variedade não exercem influência sobre a qualidade da bebida de forma isolada, todavia, contribuem de forma conjunta para formar as características da bebida produzida na região. A maior pontuação média foi obtida pela combinação de fatores, variedade “Catuaí Amarelo” estrato de altitude abaixo de 700 m e encosta Noruega da montanha, mostrando grande potencial de expressão da qualidade sensorial da bebida.Item Alterações na coloração de grãos de café em função das operações pós-colheita(Editora UFLA, 2015-10) Abreu, Giselle Figueiredo de; Pereira, Cristiane Carvalho; Malta, Marcelo Ribeiro; Clemente, Aline da Consolação Sampaio; Coelho, Luis Filipe Serafim; Rosa, Sttela Dellyzete Veiga Franco daA avaliação da cor de grãos de café torna-se importante uma vez que cafés com coloração atípica ou com diferentes níveis de branqueamento receberão menores preços no mercado. Além da desvalorização comercial, a alteração na cor é indicativos da ocorrência de processos oxidativos e alterações bioquímicas que podem modificar os precursores do sabor e aroma dos grãos, reduzindo a qualidade da bebida. Objetivou-se, neste estudo, avaliar as características de cor de grãos de café de diferentes qualidades, os quais foram processados e beneficiados por meio de diferentes métodos, e armazenados em diferentes condições. Frutos de Coffea arabica foram colhidos no estádio cereja e processados, por via úmida e por via seca. Os grãos foram secados até atingirem 11% de teor de água e submetidos a três formas de beneficiamento (manual, mecânico e sem beneficiamento) e a duas condições de armazenamento (10 oC e 50% de umidade relativa; e 25 oC sem controle de umidade relativa). Após o armazenamento por oito meses, os parâmetros de cor dos grãos e a qualidade fisiológica e sensorial foram avaliados. A intensidade das cores verde e azul e a luminância dos grãos de café são afetadas pelos métodos de processamento, beneficiamento e condições de armazenamento. Cafés despolpados apresentam coloração verde mais intensa, em comparação aos cafés naturais. O resfriamento do ar de armazenamento de grãos de café a 10oC propicia menores índices de luminância e da coordenada b, bem como melhor qualidade fisiológica.Item Avaliação química e sensorial de blends de Coffea canephora Pierre e Coffea arabica L.(Editora UFLA, 2014-04) Ribeiro, Bruno Batista; Mendonça, Luciana Maria Vieira Lopes; Assis, Gleice Aparecida; Mendonça, José Marcos Angélico de; Malta, Marcelo Ribeiro; Montanari, Fernanda FariaA mistura dos cafés das espécies C. arábica e C. canephora, realizados pelas torrefadoras com a estratégia de unir as características sensoriais de destaque desses cafés são denominadas blends. Considerando a diversidade de cafés que podem ser obtidos, em função do tipo de processamento, na elaboração dos blends é importante considerar a correta proporção de ambos os cafés para assegurar a qualidade final do produto. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho analisar blends em diferentes proporções das espécies C. canephora e C. arabica, por meio de avaliações químicas e sensoriais. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e posteriormente à análise de regressão. Foram detectadas diferenças significativas para todas as variáveis das análises químicas e nos atributos sensoriais dos blends com maiores proporções de café canephora, observando-se a mudança nos atributos fragrância, aroma e acidez e alterações nos atributos amargor e corpo.
