    Descriptive sensory tests for evaluating Coffea arabica: A systematic review
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2024-04-20) Nascimento, Manuella Oliveira; Ombredane, Alicia Simalie; Oliveira, Livia de Lacerda de
    Coffee is a beverage whose price is closely related to the characteristics of its flavor, necessitating reliable sensory tests. To quantify their sensory attributes, classic sensorial methods such as Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) can be useful. However, uncertainties persist due to protocol variations, which made uncertain the quality of these protocols in evaluating coffee. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess the quality of QDA protocols used for assessing Coffea arabica’s sensory attributes. The review encompassed various critical protocols control points, including pre-test procedures, coffee processing and preparation techniques, test application and data collection procedures. It was also summarized key attributes, highlighting factors impacting coffee’s sensory traits and bias risk of the studies. As the main results, it was saw that the studies have many limitations, such as not citing or controlling critical points in the tests procedures and application, which made most studies having a medium-high bias rating. The primary sensory results findings of the studies included topics such as the impact of brewing time, chemical compounds associated with sensory attributes and the effect of various roasting techniques on the sensory qualities of coffee. In conclusion, standardizing sensory evaluations in future research could enhance consistency and accuracy, yielding less biased results.

    Coverage plants in coffee production systems as weed control
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2024-05-02) Barros, Vanessa Maria de Souza; Thimothee, Jean Alex; Rodrigues, Rafael Jorge Almeida; Gonçalves, Adenilson Henrique; Medeiros, Fernanda Carvalho Lopes de; Ferreira, André Dominghetti; Carvalho, Gladyston Rodrigues
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the floristic and phytosociological compositions of weeds and the influence of cover crops between rows of organic and conventional coffee plantations. The assessment of weeds was carried out in two seasons (dry and rainy) in 2019 and 2020. A square made from welded iron bars of 0.50 x 0.50 m (0.25 m2) was launched four times in each block randomly, avoiding overlap, totaling 4.0 m2 of sampled area. A total of 41 weed species were found and described, which were distributed in 38 genera and 19 families with the predominance of Poaceae and Asteraceae. The most abundant species were Cyperus sp. and Urochloa decumbens Staf. that occurred simultaneously in all treatments and showed greater importance (IVI) among weeds. The similarity index is generally low, indicating that the weed community was affected by the presence and absence of cover crops.

    Exploratory evaluation of dry fermentation of specialty coffee from Nariño-Colombia, -using wet and honey-like methods
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2024-04-30) Guevara, Cindy Estefanía Córdoba; España, Mayerlyn Nathaly Ortega; Solarte, Fernanda Elizabeth Cabrera; Chaves, Erick Fernando Collazos; Troya, Arsenio Hidalgo; Bucheli, Andrés Darío Pantoja; Gutiérrez, Nelson Humberto Hurtado; Romo, Dolly Margot Revelo
    The aim of this investigation was to compare the quality of coffee produced by dry fermentation using wet and honey-type methods in three farms located in southwestern Colombia through an ex post facto study. Specialty coffee was produced and studied according to a post-harvest protocol that utilized traditional practices. The study revealed that the quality of coffee is primarily affected by postharvest processing (57.6%) and the coffee farm (37.9%). The honey-like processing method employed on La Mina farm obtained the highest overall quality score, as determined by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). The variation in the cup quality occurred due to the variation in the different attributes. The overall impression, fragrance/aroma, body, and flavor were the primary contributors to the total score quality variance (34.9%), whereas acidity, aftertaste, and balance accounted for 26.1% of the total variance. Regarding the environmental, physicochemical, and microbiological parameters, the principal component analysis showed that the bottom temperature (BT), surface temperature (ST), middle temperature (MT), aerobic mesophilic bacteria (AMB), and °Bx accounted for 29.5% of the variance. Also, yeast, pH, LAB, and AAB accounted for 27.3% of the total variance. The highest correlation with the final cupping score was recorded for MT, ST, environmental temperature (ET), BT, Enterobacteria, and relative humidity (RH). Pre-fermentation was found to increase the microbial count, and longer dry fermentation durations of depulped coffee promoted the growth of beneficial microbial populations. The process revealed interesting relationships between temperature-AMB and degrees Brix (°Bx), and between yeast-lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and acetic acid bacteria (AAB).
