Coffee cultivation has great socio-economic relevance in Brazil for the employment and income generation and there is currently a constant search for sustainable management techniques. Among them, we can mention the use ...

Vegetative propagation of arabica coffee plants selected by their agronomic value has been accomplished routinely in Brazil for scientific purposes, through somatic embryogenesis and rooting of stem cuttings. Somatic ...

In this study, we aimed to carry out a selection of Coffea arabica progenies in areas infested by Meloidogyne paranaensis in order to select materials that are resistant to this nematode, with desirable agronomic ...

A coffee plant producing large fruit, seeds, and leaves in relation to conventional coffee plants, possibly generated by genetic mutation, was named Big Coffee VL. Seeds of this coffee plant were classified by size and ...

Drying is a fundamental step in post-harvest handling of coffee because moisture content at the end of drying affects several important aspects, such as sensory quality, storability, and color of the fruit coffee. Within ...

The production of quality coffees, with different sensory characteristics, is strongly related to drying techniques. Experiments were carried out on coffee fruits, with the presence and absence of the fruit turnover process ...

Coffee cultivation has undergone significant changes, especially with regard to the mechanization process of the various existing operations that were previously carried out manually by the workers. It is observed that the ...

This research evaluated the sensory quality of processed and dried coffee beans in different ways. Two types of processing were used: dry and wet, besides seven drying methods: drying in yard and mechanical drying with ...
