Microbiota of arabica coffee: insights from soil to fruit.

Studies have shown that a diverse and metabolically active microbiota exists throughout different stages of coffee processing, from pre- to post-harvest. This microbiota originates from both the cultivation and processing environments. Additionally, microorganisms from the soil can be found on the fruit due to the transfer between them.

Enhancing Sensory Quality of Coffee: The Impact of Fermentation Techniques on cv. Catiguá MG2.

Fermentation, a critical post-harvest process, can be strategically manipulated to augment coffee quality. This enhancement is achieved through the activity of microorganisms, which generate metabolites instrumental in the formation of distinct sensory profiles. This study investigated the impact of different fermentation methods on the quality of coffee beverages, specifically utilizing the Catiguá MG2 variety.

Evaluation of Arabica Coffee Fermentation Using Machine Learning.

This study explores the variances in the organic, chemical, and sensory attributes of fermented coffee beans, specifically examining how post-harvest processes influence cup quality. Coffee fruits from the Catuaí IAC-144 variety were processed using both natural coffee (NC) and pulped coffee (PC) methods. The fruits were then subjected to self-induced anaerobic fermentation (SIAF) using one of the following fermentation methods: solid-state fermentation (SSF) or submerged fermentation (SMF).
