Item Efficiency of absorption, translocation, and use of nitrogen by water-stressed coffee(Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2024) Martinez, Herminia Emilia Prieto; Bohorquez, Cesar Augusto Avellaneda; Cecon, Paulo RobertoClimate change and the expansion of agricultural lands to low-fertility soils have prompted studies on the effects of water and nutritional stress on nutrient uptake and use. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of absorption, translocation, and use of N in coffee cultivars under water stress (WS) and different N doses. The experiment was performed hydroponically and arranged in a 4 × 2 × 4 factorial randomized block design with three replications. These factors consisted of four coffee varieties, two N doses, and four levels of WS. At the end of the experiment, the dry matter production, N concentration, and N accumulation of plants, as well as nutritional efficiency indices were evaluated. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and regression. The results showed that in plants previously well-supplied with N, N stress induces greater allocation of dry matter in roots, mitigating the effects of subsequent water deficits on shoot dry matter production. Young Mundo Novo plants subjected to N stress followed by increasing water stress maintained a high utilization efficiency (UE). Young Acauã plants well-supplied with N, maintained their N utilization efficiency up to -1.6 MPa of water stress; however, when they were N starved, they underwent a drastic reduction in UE at potentials below -0.22 MPa.Item Armazenamento de grãos de café cereja descascado em ambiente refrigerado(Revista Engenharia na Agricultura, 2009-08-19) Rigueira, Roberta Jimenez de Almeida; Lacerda Filho, Adílio Flauzino de; Volk, Marcus Bochi da Silva; Cecon, Paulo RobertoA redução da temperatura da massa de grãos, abaixo de 15 ºC tem sido eficiente para reduzir a atividade de água dos grãos e, consequentemente, a atividade de insetos e de fungos. Objetivou-se, com esse trabalho, resfriar a massa dos grãos de café (Coffea arabica L.) cereja descascado, por meio de ar à temperatura ambiente e ar refrigerado. Foram usados grãos de café cereja em pergaminho, com teor de água de 12 ± 0,061% b.u.. Utilizou-se um experimento em parcelas subdivididas, tendo nas parcelas um esquema fatorial 3 x 7 e, nas subparcelas, sete avaliações, com três repetições. Adotaram-se três condições de armazenamento (à 15 e 25 °C e em armazém convencional à temperatura ambiente) e sete intervalos de tempo de armazenagem (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 e 180 dias). Avaliaram-se possíveis alterações dos grãos em função das diferentes condições de armazenamento durante um intervalo de tempo, para as variáveis cor, tipo e bebida do café, contaminação por microrganismos, teor de água, peso de mil grãos, cinzas, nitrogênio total, teor de proteína (proteína bruta), potássio total, potássio lixiviado, fenol e condutividade elétrica. Concluiu-se que o método de resfriamento foi eficaz na preservação e conservação das características qualitativas iniciais de grãos de café cereja descascado, mantendo a qualidade da bebida, diminuindo a incidência e o desenvolvimento de microrganismos.Item Effects of nitrogen and potassium on the chemical composition of coffee beans and on beverage quality(Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2015-07) Clemente, Junia Maria; Martinez, Herminia Emilia Prieto; Alves, Leonardo Corrêa; Finger, Fernando Luíz; Cecon, Paulo RobertoThe ratio of nitrogen (N) to potassium (K) is important in the production of specialty coffees because the relative amounts of N and K can either suppress the formation or increase the concentration of compounds that are essential to the flavor and aroma of specialty coffees. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different N:K ratios (w/w) and K doses on the cup quality of coffee. The concentrations of chemical compounds essentials to achieve good flavor and aroma, the N and K contents, and the caffeine contents of coffee leaves and beans were evaluated in this study. The N:K ratio and the K dose were found to be important factors in cup quality, the best quality corresponding to an N:K ratio of 1:1.56. The best cup quality was obtained from beans with greater PPO activity, caffeine, color index, and sugars and lower total tritatable acidity, pH, electrical conductivity and leached potassium.
