Title Effect of solid-state fungal fermentation on the non-volatiles content and volatiles composition of Coffea canephora (Robusta) coffee beans.
Journal Food Chem
Abstract In this study, the effects of fungal fermentation on green canephora coffee beans were evaluated by observing the changes to selected non-volatile parameters before roasting, and subsequently the volatile profile after roasting. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus spp. and Mucor spp. on green canephora coffee beans was shown to modulate the contents of free sugars, free amino acids and polyphenolic compounds such as caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs). Significant strain-specific differences were observed in the contents of aroma compounds after roasting. A significant increase in pyrazines was observed in the Aspergillus oryzae-fermented samples, while higher levels of furans were detected in the Mucor plumbeus-fermented samples. The present work shows that fungal fermentation of green canephora coffee beans is a potentially promising method for the modulation and improvement of coffee flavour and aroma.
