Aplicação da cromatografia por exclusão e da cromatografia gasosa de alta resolução na análise do café.

The data obtained by the two techniques were statistically evaluated by "Principal Components Analysis" (PCA) using selected peak areas. The results showed the potential of the described techniques for coffee analysis. The HPEC technique monitored with the U.V. detector at 272 nm and followed by PCA may be correlated with sensorial data, particularly if a wider group of samples is used.pdfenOpen AccessCoffee qualityHigh performance exclusion chromatographyPrincipal components analysisCafeicultura::Qualidade de bebidaArtigo
