    (Editora UFLA, 2024-09-19) Freitas, Aline Silva; Pinho, Édila Vilela de Resende Von Pinho; Santos, Heloisa Oliveira dos; Pereira, Elise de Matos; Pereira, Wilson Vicente Souza
    Antioxidant enzyme expression plays a vital role in the stress response in plants. This study evaluated the physiological quality and antioxidant enzyme expression of coffee seeds and plants subjected to drying. Coffee seeds were conventionally dried to 40% and 10% water content, representing nonstressed and stressed conditions, respectively. The tests included germination, accelerated aging, and emergence. The expression of enzymes (SOD, CAT, POX, APX, and 1-cys-prx), together with lipid peroxidation, was analysed. The results showed no significant differences in the physiological test results, except for germination in stressed seeds. We found differences in antioxidant system enzymes according to the condition applied to the seeds; however, only for peroxidase, lipid peroxidation, and 1-cys-prx were the observed patterns more strongly correlated with seed germination. Nevertheless, only lipid peroxidation and 1-cys-prx were more strongly correlated with germination, indicating its potential as a marker for coffee seed quality.

    Global competitiveness of coffee products: A comparative study of Indonesia and Vietnam
    (Editora UFLA, 2024-09-19) Suryana, Anggita Tresliyana; Saleh, Yopi; Dewi, Triana Gita; Rahayu, Heni Sulistyawati Purwaning
    The competition and performance gap between Indonesia and Vietnam coffee underscore the importance of Indonesia assessing its global competitiveness against Vietnam. The study aims to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian and Vietnamese coffee in international trade, focusing on green beans, roasted coffee, and instant coffee as the primary products of the coffee industry. Assessing export performance necessitates comparative analysis with competitor countries like Vietnam. The data comprises export statistics of both robusta and arabica coffee from Indonesia and Vietnam obtained from the UN Commodity Trade database, covering 2004 to 2021. The Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) methods were used to analyze Indonesia’s and Vietnam’s coffee competitiveness. The study analyzed the Trade Balance Index (TBI) to measure the trade balance of export commodities. The study result stated that Indonesia’s competitiveness in green bean coffee is lower than Vietnam’s. Vietnam surpasses Indonesia in the instant coffee market after facing reduced competitiveness from Indonesia between 2014 and 2020. Regarding roasted coffee exports, the two countries do not have a comparative advantage in international trade. In comparing TBI results, it is evident that green beans and instant coffee products from Vietnam and Indonesia possess a comparative advantage for export, with an average TBI of 0.97, 0.63, 0,91, and 0.52, respectively. Moreover, although roasted coffee in both countries lacks a comparative advantage, it still focuses on exports. To improve the competitiveness of Indonesian coffee, it is necessary to implement good agricultural practices to ensure consistency and quality, and government policies and regulations are vital to incentivize investment and innovation in upstream coffee processing, thereby fostering a solid industry.

    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2024-07-29) Sulaiman, Ismail; Marsyanda; Erika, Cut
    Coffee drinks are trendy drinks around the world, and they usually contain caffeine. However, this research focuses on creating a coffee drink that does not contain caffeine so that those who cannot consume it can enjoy it. The resulting coffee drink is a colorless coffee drink. The coffee production process initially produces a black-colored drink, but it can turn it into a clear-colored drink through distillation and chemical methods. This research aims to study the process of making clear coffee by varying roasting and brewing levels with various variations to obtain clear-colored coffee and low caffeine levels. Preparation of clear coffee drinks is done by brewing espresso and Tobruk, which is then analyzed for pH, caffeine, and color tests on the results of the clear coffee drink. Based on the ranking test on each parameter tested on clear coffee drinks, the best treatment is using the distillation method, espresso brewing, and medium roasting level. The analysis results of this selected formulation produced a transparent beverage color (clear), pH 3.5, and caffeine levels of 4.639 mg/mL.

    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-18) Jitjaroen, Wanphen; Kongngoen, Rungtiwa; Panjai, Lachinee
    The goal is to improve the flavors of Arabica coffee by combining semi-carbonic maceration (SCM) process, with enzymatic process at various lengths and temperature. Five different variations of SCM processes were investigated: pulped natural process (control); at 15 oC for 10 days (SCM-15); at 20 oC for 10 days (SCM-20); with 0.01 g.L-1 pectinases A (polygalacturonase, pectin esterase and pectin lyase) at 20 oC for 5 days (SCM-PA); and with 0.03 g.L-1 pectinases B (polygalacturonase, pectin esterase, pectin lyase and ß-glucanase) at 20 oC for 5 days (SCM-PB). The chemical composition of intact mucilage and green bean coffee were analyzed. The environments created by using SCM fermentation process at 20 oC combined with pectinase A and pectinase B produced green bean coffee with higher content of acidity and reducing sugar. The volatile compounds of roasted coffee were examined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Fifty-one volatile compounds belonging to 12 chemical classes were identified. The different total peak area, indicates that most volatile compounds, increases during SCM, and SCM process combined with enzymatic method. The Specialty Coffee Association of America; SCAA sensory analysis was performed by trained specialty coffee judges. The final product of coffee beans, which has been treated with SCM process at 15 and 20 oC have obtained the highest score in fragrance, flavor, aftertaste, body, balance and overall impression. While the enzyme treatment has attained the highest scores in acidity. This study demonstrates that the proposed process may be useful for the improvement of the cup quality.

    Characterization of active-aroma wheel in contemporary coffee processes via gas chromatography–olfactometry, and sensory perspective
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-04-28) Jitjaroen, Wanphen; Chaisri, Daorung; Panjai, Lachinee
    This research is to study the difference in chemical changes during fermentation, between the new fermentation processes. Aroma descriptors and sensorial assessments can be effectively used to tailor made fermentation processes. Coffee cherries (Coffea arabica L. var. Catimor) were treated with three different processes as followed: 1) Dry process (control), 2) Semi-carbonic maceration process (SCM): Carbon dioxide gas was injected to replace oxygen, and 3) Yeast process: coffee cherries were fermented by commercial yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae var cerevisiae. SCM and Yeast processes were both incubated at 17±1oC until mucilage of pulped coffee and pectin layer reached to 4.2-4.3 of pH value. Low air temperatures (20-33 oC), low relative humidity (25-60%) to dry coffee samples to the desired 12.5% moisture content was used. The chemical component of the intact mucilage during fermentation was analyzed. The active-aroma attributes of roasted coffee were qualified and intensified by gas chromatography–olfactometry, categorized as followed: Enzymatic, Sugar browning, Dry distillation and Aromatic, and translated into an active-aroma wheel. The quality cup scores were evaluated by certified Q arabica graders, according to the standard of the Specialty Coffee Association. Results shows that, when compared to Control, SCM and Yeast process had a greater potential when it comes to increasing active-aroma attributes (twenty, twenty-nine, and twenty-two active-aroma attributes respectively). The fermentation process of SCM and Yeast process changes the post fermentation chemical composition of coffee cherry, a decrease in pH value, and an increase in acidity and ethanol. Both processes resulted in an improvement in aromatic attributes of roasted coffee, in both types and intensities. In line with the cup quality’s final scores of 81.50, and 82.83 (specialty coffee), respectively, both processes scored higher than the Dry process (79.42 cup score), with coffee from Yeast process scoring the highest in significant difference.

    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-01-11) Andrade, Ednilton Tavares de; Rezende, Renan Pereira; Borém, Flávio Meira; Rosa, Sttela Dellyzete Veiga Franco da; Rios, Paula de Almeida; Oliveira, Filipe da Silva de
    The market value of coffee is strongly influenced by loss of quality, which makes storage one of the main steps in the entire production chain. The finite element method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are numerical and computational techniques that facilitate the simulation of agricultural product storage systems. Computational modeling satisfactorily represents real experimentation, simplifies decision-making, and reduces costs. This study aimed to analyze mocha coffee storage for 6 months in a cooled environment with temperatures between 15 and 18 °C and in a natural environment. The water content, bulk density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity were determined and colorimetry and sensory analysis were applied to compare initial and final samples of the product after storage. It was found that the water content and specific heat were the only properties that presented significant changes. Through sensory analysis, it was observed that the quality of the coffee was the same for both systems. A computational model was developed to simulate the heat transfer process during storage. The comparison of the simulation results with the experimental results for the temperature distribution in the grain mass showed overall mean relative errors of 2.34% for the natural environment and 5.74% for the cooled environment.

    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2022-12-29) Silva, Dvany Mamedes da; Vieira Júnior, José Roberto; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros; Espindula, Marcelo Curitiba; Rudnick, Vaneide Araújo de Sousa; Fernandes, Cléberson de Freitas; Uchôa, Francisco Paiva; Bastos, Jéssica Silva Felix; Freire, Tamiris Chaves; Sangi, Simone Carvalho; Fonseca, Aline Souza da
    Many factors can affect coffee production, such as the root-knot nematode, a soil pathogen that can kill plants up to two years old. In infested areas, the cultivation of resistant genotypes is an economical and ecologically appropriate alternative. The present study aims to evaluate the resistance of Coffea canephora clones to Meloidogyne incognita. Evaluations were carried out in a greenhouse at Embrapa Rondônia (Porto Velho -RO) between September 2019 and November 2020. Genotypes were inoculated with M. incognita in four experiments with six replications with a completely randomized design. Root dry weight (RDW), the number of galls (NG) and the reproduction factor (RF) were evaluated. Eighty-six coffee clones were evaluated, with 50 clones showing resistance to Meloidogyne incognita and 36 clones showing susceptibility. Clones classified as resistant had an average reproduction factor of 0.33 with a range of 0.00 to 0.95, while clones classified as susceptible had an average reproduction factor of 3.48 with an amplitude ranging from 1.02 to 14.46. The number of galls was also higher in susceptible clones than in resistant clones. Considering the ten most cultivated clones, the genotypes GJ8, GJ25, P50, SK80, AS2, P42 and LB10 were classified as resistant, and the genotypes GJ3, GJ5 and SK41 were classified as susceptible. Taken together, the results identify resistant C. canephora clones as an important and sustainable tool for controlling M. incógnita.

    Nowadays coffee is a popular beverage around the world used in many food industries such as chocolate, dairy industry and also confectionery. Therefore, its quality required special attention. On the other hand, heavy metals have been attracted the attention in food products due to their toxicity and health risks in the food chain. Since coffee is a desirable widely used drink in the world for different age groups, this study aims to measure the concentration of heavy metals and some other elements in several brands of coffee powder from Iran and Turkey markets. After sample collection and preparation, heavy metals were measured using ICP-MS according to the AOAC method. The results showed that fortunately lead, cadmium, cobalt, silver, chromium, and mercury were not detected in any coffee samples. Also, it was observed that Nickel was only found in 3 samples, which was less than the standard limits. The pH of all samples was measured and the range was 5.03 to 6.32 in Iranian and Turkish samples. However, there was a lack of evidence in heavy metals amounts in coffee, this study reveals successful practical information in this field in Iranian and Turkish market but also according to the importance of this issue, further comprehensive studies is needed all over the world.
