How to Identify Roast Defects in Coffee Beans Based on the Volatile Compound Profile.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to detect and identify the volatile compounds in coffee that was obtained in defect roast processes versus standard roasting and to determine the type and strength of the correlations between the roast defects and the volatile compound profile in roasted coffee beans. In order to achieve this goal, the process of coffee bean roasting was set to produce an underdeveloped coffee defect, an overdeveloped coffee defect, and defectless coffee. The "Typica" variety of Arabica coffee beans was used in this study. The study material originated from a plantation that is located at an altitude of 1400-2000 m a.s.l. in Huehuetenango Department, Guatemala. The analyses were carried out with the use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and an electronic nose. This s
