Development Of Powdered Robusta Coffee (Coffea Canephora) Pericarp
Robusta coffee, coffee pericarp, acceptability, nutritional value, shelf life
The coffee growers from the upland municipalities of the province of Ilocos Sur in the Philippines are being recognized for developing market-driven Robusta coffee products. Along with the production of marketable Robusta coffee products is the yield of heavy waste disposal of coffee pericarps without proper treatment. This study aimed to develop powdered Robusta coffee (coffea canephora) pericarp by experimenting in collaboration with the associations of coffee growers and processors from the upland municipalities of Ilocos Sur, Philippines including Quirino, Gregorio del Pilar, San Emilio, Sigay, and Suyo. Furthermore, this study determined the level of acceptability, nutritional value, and shelf life of powdered Robusta coffee pericarp. Fifteen coffee growers used scoresheets to evaluate the sensory attributes of the research product. The weighted mean of evaluators’ scores was calculated to determine the level of acceptability of the research product in terms of aroma, texture, and color. A sample of the research product underwent laboratory testing at SGS Philippines to determine its nutritional value. To determine its shelf life, a real-time stability test was performed by the researcher. The results of this study confirm that powdered Robusta coffee pericarp has a high level of acceptability in terms of aroma, texture, and color. The nutritional analysis reported that it has several nutritional claims: high in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total calories, a reasonable source of sugar, and low in crude fat. Moreover, Robusta coffee pericarp has a five-week shelf life if it is stored in a sealable bag at room temperature.
