This research aimed to compare the composition profiles of roasted Coffea canephora varieties (conilon, robusta, and intervarietal hybrids) grown in the Western Amazon. Ten coffees of each variety were evaluated. No difference in the contents of caffeine (1427 to 3364 mg 100 g 1) and kahweol (absence to 25.7 mg 100 g 1) was observed. Hybrid coffees were discriminated from traditional varieties (conilon and robusta) and stood out for their higher content of trigonelline, chlorogenic acids, and total diterpenes (mean values of 613,3791, and 471 mg 100 g 1, respectively), higher cafestol/kahweol ratio (7.6 to 15.0), and higher frequency of kahweol presence. Traditional varieties only differed in cafestol and 16-O-methylcafestol contents. Robusta coffees stood out for their lower cafestol content (116 mg 100 g 1), and conilon for their lower 16-O-methylcafestol content (139 mg 100 g 1). Differences between the traditional varieties are smaller than that observed among them and the intervarietal hybrid coffees.
Maturation cycle and fruit-to-bean conversion ratios in amazon robusta coffee cultivars
(Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido, 2024-12-02) Sousa, Andrey L. B. de; Rocha, Rodrigo B.; Tadeu, Hugo C.; Lopes, Maria T. G.; Espindula, Marcelo C.; Silva, Raniel C. da; Ferreira, Fábio M.
This study aimed to characterize the outturn index, field outturn index, uniformity of maturity, and maturation cycle of fifteen Coffea canephora genotypes grown in different environments of the Western Amazon. Conducted in Amazonas (Itacoatiara and Manaus) and Rondônia (Porto Velho), the research evaluated the performance of ten cultivars and five promising genotypes from Embrapa. The genotype × environment interaction was significant, indicating different performance of clones across environments. Genotypic coefficients surpassed environmental ones, indicating a genetic influence on outturn indices and uniformity of maturity. The mean outturn index was 24.68%, and the field outturn index was 22.57%, with Itacoatiara having the highest mean values. The overall mean fruit uniformity of maturity was 63.02%, with Porto Velho achieving the highest mean uniformity value (71.78%). The cultivar BRS1216 exhibited the best performance for outturn indices and provided the highest gain from selection across environments, showing wide adaptability for the outturn index and adaptability to environments favorable for field outturn. Cultivars BRS3210 and BRS3220 achieved more than 82% uniformity of maturity across locations, with BRS3210 adapting to favorable environments and BRS3220 adapting to unfavorable ones. Additionally, BRS3220 had a high mean field outturn index, indicating wide adaptability and high phenotypic stability. The evaluated Amazon Robusta clones and cultivars displayed the expected maturation cycles.
