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.

Coffee fermentation process: A review.

In recent years, the importance of controlling coffee fermentation in the final quality of the beverage has been recognized. The literature review was conducted in the Science Direct and Springer databases, considering studies published in the last ten years, 74 references were selected. Several studies have been developed to evaluate and propose fermentation conditions that result in sensory improvements in coffee.

High Gravity and Very High Gravity Fermentation of Sugarcane Molasses by Flocculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Experimental Investigation and Kinetic Modeling.

Substantial progress has been made in ethanol fermentation technology under high gravity (HG) and very high gravity (VHG), which offer environmental and economic benefits. HG and VHG processes increase the productivity of ethanol, reduce distillation costs, and enable higher yields. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of sugarcane molasses as the medium component along with flocculating yeasts for fermentation in a fed-batch process employing this promising technology.
