Abstract: | "The aim of this review is to describe the volatile aroma compounds of green coffee beans and evaluate sources of variation in the formation and development of coffee aroma through postharvest processing. The findings of this survey showed that the volatile constituents of green coffee beans (e.g., alcohols, aldehydes, and alkanes) have no significant influence on the final coffee aroma composition, as only a few such compounds remain in the beans after roasting. On the other hand, microbial-derived, odor-active compounds produced during removal of the fruit mucilage layer, including esters, higher alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones, can be detected in the final coffee product. Many postharvest processing including drying and storage processes could influence the levels of coffee aroma compositions, which remain to be elucidated. Better understanding of the effect of these processes on coffee aroma composition would assist coffee producers in the optimal selection of postharvest parameters that favor the consistent production of flavorful coffee beans" |
