Identification of potential quality markers in Indonesia's Arabica specialty coffee using GC/MS-based metabolomics approach.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The cupping test is a widely used method for quality assessment of Arabica coffee. However, the cupping test is limited by the low number of certified panelists and the low throughput. Therefore, an analytical-based quality assessment may be a promising tool to complement the cupping test. A present, there is no report investigating quality marker candidates, focusing only on "specialty" grade Arabica coffee from Indonesia.

Objective

This study identified the potential quality marker(s) in Arabica Specialty coffee at different stages (green beans, roasted beans, and brewed coffee.

Methods

The metabolite profiles of ten different Arabica specialty-grade coffees were analyzed with different cup scores using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). From
