Summary

Flavor and the sensory attributes of coffee are formed through roasting, which makes it possible to generate different reactions inside the bean where the chemical composition is crucial to achieve quality during the production process. This research evaluated the effect of the initial temperature and roasting time interaction on the sensory quality of six improved coffee varieties: Cenicafé 1, Castillo® General, Castillo® Naranjal, Castillo® Pueblo Bello, Castillo® El Tambo and Tabi. Five roasting curves per variety were generated. The base curve had an initial temperature of 200°C (CB), two curves with temperature increases at 215°C (I-15) and 230°C (I-30), and two curves with temperature decreases of the base roasting curve at 185°C (D-15) and 170°C (D-30). The final roasting time was defined by the color of the grain 55-65 on the AGTRON/SCA scale for roasting. The roasting times ranged from 8 to 12 minutes, the highest roasting times were obtained in the D-30 treatment with an average of 11.47 minutes and the lowest occurred in the I-30 treatment with an average of 8.39 minutes. The interaction of the initial roasting temperature and the variety had an effect on the total time of the process, while the sensory attributes fragrance/aroma, taste and total score only had effect for the variety.
