    The aim of this study was to evaluate the color behavior (L* and Ag) and the stability of melanoidin molecules in roasted coffees with different roasting levels, types of packaging and storage conditions. Two roasting intensities were performed (medium roast and dark roast), following the SCA protocol for specialty coffees. The samples were stored in two types of packaging (permeable packaging and hermetic packaging with valve) and evaluated in eight storage times (1, 24, 48, 72, 240, 480, 1080 and 1440 hours) after roasting. The packaging interfered in the preservation of both the color of the roasted coffee and the melanoidin content over time. The permeable packaging allowed greater color loss, a difference also noted when evaluating the L*. For medium roast coffees stored in hermetic packaging, the maximum storage time should be up to 200 hours, while for dark roast beans when stored in hermetic packaging, the storage time was up to 480 hours. Greater stability of melanoidins was observed for coffees stored in hermetic packaging, with averages of 0.37 g.100 mL-1, while for coffees stored in permeable packaging the average was 0.34 g.100 mL-1, probably due to the oxidation of melanoidin molecules that reacted with oxygen and relative humidity of the ambient air. It is concluded that hermetic packaging presented a greater capacity for preserving the initial characteristics over the storage time, while permeable packaging allowed the loss of color of the roasted beans due to storage and possible modifications of the melanoidin molecules.

    Coffee fermentation has emerged as an innovative post-harvest process in recent years. The effectiveness of this process is in conferring sensory notes to the coffee that would please the consumer and allow for the positive differentiation of the coffees. This is achieved by monitoring the different parameters of the procedure of coffee fermentation. In this regard, the present study aimed to conduct a natural fermentation of the coffee fruit for up to 96 hours followed by the sensory (sensory characteristics for aroma, flavor, acidity, body and overall score of the 0 to 100) and chemical analyses (bioactive compounds, volatiles, organics, and fatty acids) to evaluate the influence of fermentation on sensory quality and on chemical compounds. The coffee (Coffeea arabica L.) samples for the study were collected from Presidente Olegário – MG (Harvest 2018/19) in the cerrado of Minas Gerais. The effects of fermentation and fermentation duration on the sensory quality and chemistry of coffee were evaluated. It was observed that after 48 h of fermentation, significant sensorial differentiation occurs, including an increase of the approximately two points in the final grade. In addition, time was revealed as the most relevant factor in the chemical analyses for the categorization of samples into different groups. Accordingly, it was concluded since coffees with subjected to 48, 72, and 96 h of fermentation got higher final grades, higher levels of palmitic fatty acid and characteristic compounds of fermented coffees (1,3-dioxolane 2,4,5-trimethyl, 2-furan methanol acetate, and butanoic acid) checking out the coffees wine-like notes and sweet notes to the beverage.

    Fermented natural coffee followed by pulping: Analysis of the initial sensory quality and after six months of storage
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-09-01) Salvio, Luís Gustavo Amaral; Cirillo, Marcelo Ângelo; Borém, Flávio Meira; Alves, Ana Paula de Carvalho; Palumbo, Juliana Maria Campos; Santos, Cláudia Mendes dos; Haeberlin, Luana; Schwan, Rosane Freitas; Nakajima, Makoto; Sugino, Ryosuke
    In recent years, different methods of fermentation have emerged for coffee, with the intention of adding complexity to its flavor. To be able to clearly identify the information from sensory analysis, tools capable of detecting small differences are needed. One such tool is multiple factor analysis (MFA). Thus, the objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of fermentation time and storage on the quality of sensory attributes using MFA. The coffee (Coffea arabica L.) samples collected for the study were from the Serra da Mantiqueira region – Brazil. In the present study, two natural coffee fermentation methods were evaluated, one using natural coffee microbiota (NF) and the other using a starter culture (Y), along with different times of anaerobic fermentation (0, 24, 48, 72, and 96h), followed by the pulping of the samples without the use of water. Sensory analysis of fermented coffee samples was performed immediately after drying and after six months of storage in permeable packaging in a refrigerated environment. Thus, the experiment was conducted in an intirely randomized design with a 2 x 5 x 2 factorial scheme (2 fermentation treatments; 5 fermentation times; 2 storage times). The highest scores and the attributes described in higher quality coffees, such as sweetness, acidity, and aftertaste, were attributed to coffees fermented for 96 hours. Results indicated that inoculation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCMA 0543 was responsible for maintaining the sensory qualities of the coffee fermented for 96 hours after 6 months of storage.
