Effect of roasting on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of coffee (Coffea arabica var. Pacas) with various processing methods.

Coffee is typically processed in three ways: dry method (Natural coffee), semi-dry method (Honey coffee) and wet method (Washed coffee). The choice of processing method has a significant impact on the overall taste and aroma. Roasting is another critical stage in coffee production. Light, medium, an...

Natural coffee presented higher yield regardless of the roasting level and lighter color compared to the other two processing methods.

In conclusion, this study highlighted the influence of roast level and postharvest processing methods on consumer preferences and physicochemical changes. 2024-01-11T16:55:46Z 2024-01-11T16:55:46Z 2023 Thesis https://hdl.handle.net/11036/7746 eng Copyright Escuela Agrícola Panamericana, Zamorano https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ application/pdf Zamorano: Escuela Agrícola Panamericana
