Resumo
Avaliar a qualidade do café conilon (Coffea Canephora Pierre) depois da secagem em terreiro híbrido e de concreto, processado por via seca para as condições climáticas do Estado de Rondônia, foi o principal objetivo deste trabalho. O café foi colhido, manualmente, pelo sistema de derriça no pano, com teor de água de aproximadamente 50% (b.u.), separado por diferença de massa específica em três grupos: cerejas, boia e café mistura. Posteriormente, cada um dos grupos foi dividido em dois lotes e submetidos à secagem em terreiro híbrido e terreiro de concreto. A análise sensorial foi realizada pela degustação por especialista e a qualidade química do produto foi avaliada por meio das análises da acidez titulável, sólidos solúveis totais e condutividade elétrica. Conclui-se que o tempo necessário para que os cafés boia, mistura e cereja atingissem o teor de água de 9,5 ± 0,5 (%b.u.) foi de 168 horas no terreiro de concreto e no terreiro híbrido foi de 48, 54 e 60 horas, respectivamente. O café submetido à secagem em terreiro de concreto obteve melhor qualidade em comparação ao café secado em terreiro híbrido, decorrente da taxa de remoção de água mais lenta, em média 3,1 vezes menor que no terreiro híbrido, e em função das condições climáticas favoráveis à secagem em terreiro de concreto.
The main objective of this work was to analyze the conilon (Coffea Canephora Pierre) coffee berry quality after drying in hybrid terrace and concrete yard processed by dry and drying under the climatic conditions of the state of Rondônia. The coffee berries were manually harvested on the cloth, at moisture content of approximately 50% (w.b.), separated by differences of bulk density in three types: cherries, float and coffee mixture. Thereafter, each group was divided into two lots and subjected to drying in hybrid terrace and concrete yard. The sensory analysis was carried out by specialist tasting and the chemical quality was assessed by analysis of acidity, soluble solids and electrical conductivity. The results showed that the drying time needed for all the types to reach the moisture content of 9.5 ± 0.5 (% w.b.) was 168 hours in the concrete yard, and for hybrid terrace was 48, 54 e 60 hours respectively. The coffee berry drying in concrete yard obtained better quality compared to the hybrid terrace, mainly due to smaller rate of removal of water in drying system, on average three times lower than in the concrete yard and according to the fortunate climatic conditions in the drying concrete yard.
