Item A design of experiment strategy for quality control of specialty coffee drink based on sensory analysis and statistical tools(Instituto de Tecnologia de Alimentos – ITAL, 2024-12-06) Pinto, Licarion; Lopes Júnior, Hilton; Alves, Enrique Anastácio; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros; Teixeira, Alexsandro Lara; Gois, Jefferson Santos deSensory analysis is crucial for assessing food and beverage quality, but discrepancies may arise in some cases and make the quality evaluation imprecise even with statistical analysis. This issue can be mitigated by sensory analysis based on the coffee drink nuanced characteristics. Therefore, in this study, six Q-Graders, following the Specialty Coffee Association of America's sensory analysis method, evaluated various samples and the data was evaluated statistically. The experiment employed a multilevel categorical design, encompassing six evaluator levels, 44 sample levels, and two types of quality assessment. Grades were assigned to the 44 samples using traditional evaluation (no comments) and guided evaluation (prior sample information). It was possible to identify evaluators whose assessments were unbiased across both guided and traditional evaluations. This work introduced a novel strategy to identify biased evaluators, assess the impact of evaluation types, and perform a more accurate assessment of Coffea canephora Pierre ex-Froehner (coffee) quality and assurance assisted with statistical analysis.Item Variability of volatile compound profiles during two coffee fermentation times in northern Peru using SPME-GC/MS(Instituto de Tecnologia de Alimentos – ITAL, 2023-05-15) Perez, Jhordy; Calderon, Martha Steffany; Bustamante, Danilo Edson; Caetano, Aline Camila; Mendoza, Jani Elisabet; Fernandez-Güimac, Samia Littly JahavelyThe time of the fermentation process of coffee from northern Peru is variable (9 to 48 hours) since coffee farmers do not use standardized processes, causing a variety of coffee qualities. This study aimed to identify volatile compounds in both short (9 hours) and long (32 hours) coffee fermentation processes from coffee farms in northern Peru using Solid-Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS) to associate the coffee quality and diversity of volatile compounds. Sensory analyses showed that the short fermentation process (SFP) scored 77.8 ± 0.39 and had chocolate, wood, cardboard, dry, fatty and rough notes, while the long fermentation process (LFP) showed higher punctuations 85.5 ± 3.16 and citrus, fruity, floral, caramel and chocolate sensory attributes. A total of 90 compounds were found in the SFP, whereas 141 compounds were identified in the LFP. Significant differences in the relative abundance of 14 chemical compounds were reported in the SFP and LFP (p < 0.05). From these results, the presence of benzaldehyde, methional, hexanal, 2-heptanone, pentadecane, 1-butanol-3-methyl-acetate, and benzene-acetic acid ethyl ester seems to impact the quality of coffee. The analysis of similarities showed that coffee samples (5 h and 9 h) during the SFP were very variable, whereas coffee samples from LFP showed some tendency to group, which may be related to the difference in altitude and temperature in coffee farms making comparison between them difficult. In addition, this study highlights the complex relationship between coffee fermentation and flavour and the influence of several factors and variables that may affect the composition of flavour and aroma precursors in green coffee beans obtained from wet fermentation.
