Resumo
Os diferentes tipos de processamentos pós-colheita empregados nos frutos de café podem originar diferentes bebidas, cujo perfil sensorial depende de fatores ambientais e do manejo no processo de produção. Todos os processos envolvidos na produção de café, desde as características edafoclimáticas da área de cultivo até o sistema de armazenamento adotado, interferem na qualidade de bebida do café. Objetivou-se neste trabalho descrever o perfil sensorial de diferentes cultivares de café processados por via seca (natural) e via úmida (desmucilado), após um ano de armazenamento. Foram avaliados sensorialmente quatro cultivares de café (Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144, Iapar 59, Bourbon Amarelo e Paraíso MG H 419-1), da espécie Coffea arabica L. da safra de 2012/2013, com a realização de dois processamentos pós-colheita (natural e cereja desmucilado) após um ano de armazenamento. A análise sensorial foi realizada por dois provadores credenciados e habilitados por meio do protocolo da Specialty Coffee Association of America – SCAA. As cultivares se comportam de maneira diferenciada na qualidade em função do processamento adotado. Os cafés do processamento natural se destacaram na maioria dos atributos sensoriais avaliados em relação aos cafés desmucilados após um ano de armazenamento. As cultivares Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 e Iapar 59 apresentaram melhor qualidade quando submetidas ao processamento natural. Já nos cafés desmucilados, maiores notas foram atribuídas às cultivares Bourbon Amarelo e Paraíso.
The different types of post-harvest processing employed in coffee fruits may yield different beverages, whose sensory profile depends on environmental factors and management in the production process. All the processes involved in coffee production, from soil and climatic characteristics of the growing area to the adopted storage system, interfere in the coffee beverage quality. The objective of this research was to describe the sensory profile of different coffee varieties processed by dry (natural) and wet (demucilated), after one year of storage. Were evaluated sensorially four coffee cultivars (Red Catuaí IAC 144, Iapar 59, Yellow Bourbon e Paraíso MG H 419-1), of Coffea arabica L. of the 2012/2013 season with the completion of two post-harvest processing (natural and demucilated cherry) after one year of storage. Sensory analysis was performed by two accredited tasters and enabled through the protocol of the Specialty Coffee Association of America - SCAA. Cultivars behave differently in quality according to the adopted process. Coffees of the natural processing stood out in most sensory attributes evaluated in relation to demucilated coffees after one year of storage. The Red Catuaí IAC 144 and Iapar 59 showed better quality when subjected to natural processing. Already in demucilated coffees, highest scores were awarded the Yellow Bourbon cultivars and Paraíso.
