    Yield Stability of Indonesian Coffee Production - Comparison Between Arabica and Robusta
    (Editora UFLA, 2025-06-03) Ma'ruf, Muhammad Imam; Bacsi, Zsuzsanna; Hollósy, Zsolt; Kamaruddin, Citra Ayni; Astuty, Sri
    Coffee is a significant commodity in Indonesia, and the two most widely cultivated coffee species are Arabica and Robusta. This study aims to compare the yield stability of Arabica and Robusta coffee in Indonesia, and the performance of regions from the viewpoint of yield stability. Using the Yield Stability Index, the study measures yield stability over a 10-year period (2011-2020) using data from Directorate General of Estates, Ministry of Agriculture. Results show, that the two coffee varieties considerably differ in their stabilities, and the stability of yields across regions also show large discrepancies. While Robusta yields were stable in all the 33 analyzed regions, though to a different extent, for Arabica, produced in 20 regions, only 4 could produce stable yields. The yield stability of Indonesian coffee is influenced by a complex interplay of environmental factors, agronomic, and socio-economic factors. Mitigating these yield stability challenges requires a multifaceted approach.

    Agricultural Practices, Climate Resilience, and Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Coffee Value and Productivity in Vietnam
    (Editora UFLA, 2025-05-20) Trung, Ha Quang; Tu, Le Minh; Quang, Luong Hong
    This study examines the factors affecting coffee value and yield among farming households in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Utilizing data from the Vietnam Household Agriculture Research Survey and applying ordinary least squares regression, we examine how key variables such as Arabica cultivation, organic certification, input costs, labor, household characteristics, infrastructure access, and climate resilience impact coffee productivity and profitability. The results indicate that increasing the proportion of Arabica coffee significantly enhances both coffee value and yield. Efficient management of economic inputs, particularly irrigation and pesticide use, is found to be crucial in boosting productivity. Household characteristics, including education level and social organization membership, also positively impact coffee yield and profitability, reflecting the role of knowledge dissemination and community engagement. Conversely, high labor costs and remote farm locations negatively affect coffee productivity, while drought events significantly reduce coffee value, highlighting the vulnerability of coffee production to climate change. The findings provide empirical support for policy interventions aimed at strengthening Vietnam’s coffee sector through infrastructure investment, climate adaptation strategies, and the promotion of diversified coffee varieties. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of balancing economic inputs with sustainable farming practices to enhance both environmental and financial resilience.

    Development a novel and comprehensive cupping protocols for wine coffee assessment using Qualitative Description Analysis
    (Editora UFLA, 2024-11-28) Hasni, Dian; Sulaiman, Ismail; Nazira, Mimi Misna
    Diversification of coffee product and cnsumer demands attempt to create a new product such as wine coffee, a fermented coffee product which undergo the coffee cherries fermentation process up to 30 days or longer. As a new product, coffee wine does not have quality standard, which barriers the coffee trade and trust between coffee producers and buyer. This research aims to develop a novel and comprehensive cupping protocol for wine coffee using Qualitative Description Analysis with the presence of Specialty Coffee Association of America as guidelines. QDA is parted to three section panellist screening, panellist training and product evaluation. From 20 screened panellists, 12 are undergo to training panellist, but only 8 panelists shows consistent results, share similar understanding about wine coffee quality. The results showed that fragrance, aroma, flavour, body, aftertaste and acidity have different definition than specialty coffee from SCAA cupping protocols.

    Post-harvest processing of coffee: an overview
    (Editora UFLA, 2021) Das, Suryatapa
    Coffee is known as one of the most popular beverages around the world. Coffee belongs to the botanical family Rubiaceae and genus coffea. The two most economically important species are C. arabica (arabica coffee) and C. canephora (robusta coffee).The health benefits of coffee are due to presence of many biologically active components such as caffeine, chlorogenic acid, nicotinic acid, quinolinic acid, trigonelline, tannic acid, and pyrogolic acid. The postharvest processing of coffee cherry involves dry or wet processing, grading, sorting, marketing, blending, and roasting. A series of physical and chemical changes occur during coffee roasting that are responsible for the development of pleasant aroma and flavour of coffee.

    Discrimination of commercial roasted and ground coffees according to chemical composition
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2012) Souza, Romilaine M. N. de; Benassi, Marta T.
    Roasted and ground 38 commercial coffees and coffees of known species (arabica, robusta) were characterized by principal component analysis using as variables nicotinic acid, trigonelline, 5-o-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), caffeine, kahweol and cafestol, which are potentially indicative of species. The objective of the study was to assess the relevance of such parameters in coffee discrimination. Nicotinic acid allowed the characterization of roasting degree. Trigonelline and 5-CQA presented variability among arabica and robusta coffees as well as among comercial ones. Thermostable parameters (caffeine, kahweol and cafestol) had high discriminative potential between the species. In general, high levels of caffeine and low levels of diterpenes (kahweol and cafestol) were related with higher proportions of robusta in the products, which were observed by the decreasing kahweol/cafestol ratio and increasing caffeine/kahweol ratio. The use of these new parameters (kahweol/cafestol and caffeine/kahweol ratios) was suggested as tools for assessing the addition of robusta in commercial coffees.

    Statistical procedure for the composition of a sensory panel of blends of coffee with different qualities using the distribution of the extremes of the highest scores
    (Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2019) Cirillo, Marcelo Ângelo; Ramos, Mariana Figueira; Borém, Flávio Meira; Miranda, Felipe Mesquita de; Ribeiro, Diego Egídio; Menezes, Fortunato Silva de
    The identification and interpretation of discrepant observations in sensory experiments are difficult to implement since the external effects are associated with the individual consumer. This fact becomes more relevant in experiments that involve blends, which scrutinize coffees with different qualities, varieties, origins, and forms of processing and preparation. This work proposes a statistical procedure that facilitates the identification of outliers while also evaluating the discriminatory powers of a sensory panel concerning the differentiation of pure blends and coffees. For this purpose, four experiments were performed that tested coffees with different qualities and varieties. The results suggest that the statistical procedure proposed in this work was effective for discriminating the blends relative to the pure coffees and that the effects of the concentrations and types of processing did not interfere with the statistical evaluations.
