Item Particle size and roasting on water sorption in conilon coffee during storage(Editora UFLA, 2016-04) Corrêa, Paulo Cesar; Oliveira, Gabriel Henrique Horta de; Oliveira, Ana Paula Lelis Rodrigues de; Vargas-Elías, Guillermo Asdrúbal; Baptestini, Fernanda MachadoThe aim of this work was to evaluate alterations on the water sorption of coffee due to the effect of roast, grind and storage in two temperatures (10 and 30 oC) during 180 days. Crude grain coffee (Coffea canephora) with average initial moisture content of 12.61 % (d.b.) was used. Grain was roasted at two levels: medium light (ML) and moderately dark (MD). Afterwards, grain was processed in three different particle sizes: fine (0.59 mm), medium (0.84 mm) and coarse (1.19 mm), besides the whole coffee lot. Samples prepared were then stored in two temperatures (10 and 30 oC). These were analyzed during six months, at five distinct times (0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 days) regarding moisture content and water activity. Furthermore, mathematical modeling and thermodynamic properties acquisition of the coffee moisture adsorption process were accomplished. A split plot design was used, in which plots consisted of storage period and split-plots consisted of a 2 x 4 x 2 factorial (two roasting degrees, four particle sizes and two storage temperatures), with five repetitions.It was concluded thatparticle size did not significantly affectedmoisture content of coffee, independently of roast degree; Sigma-Copace model best represented hygroscopic equilibrium for sorption of roasted coffee; with moisture content reduction, an increase of differential enthalpy and entropy of sorption and Gibbs free energy occurs.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 .Item Drying kinetics of natural coffee for different temperatures and low relative humidity(Editora UFLA, 2013-04) Alves, Guilherme Euripedes; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Borém, Flávio Meira; Siqueira, Valdiney Cambuy; Oliveira, Pedro Damasceno; Andrade, Ednilton TavaresFaced with the importance of the drying in the post-harvest phase of coffee and its influence in the final quality of the product, the current study had the aim of evaluating the kinetics of the drying in different temperatures of the drying air for a low temperature at dew point of fruits of arabic coffee (Coffea arabica) dry processed. The cherries were manually picked and submitted to hydraulic separation. After that, the fruits with initial water contents of 1.9 ± 0.1 kg.kg -1 (bs) were submitted to the drying process under three temperatures of dry bulb (35 °C, 40 °C e 45 °C) for the same temperature of dew point (2.6 °C) of the drying air. Seven mathematical models were adjusted to the experimental data to characterize the dry process of coffee cherries. Henderson and Pabis modified and Successive Residue models with two terms were the most adequate to describe the dry process, being the Henderson and Pabis modified model chosen, for being more simple. The elevation of the temperature of the dried bulb under the low temperature of dew point causes an increase of the effective diffusivity coefficient, the drying rate and reduces the time of drying. For the conditions which were studied, the effective diffusivity coefficient of water for coffee fruits varies between 1.908 e 3.721 x 10 -11 m2.s -1 . The activating energy for the liquid diffusion, described by the equation of Arrhenius, was of 52.89 kJ.mol -1 .
