This study investigated the volatile composition of coffee blends of different cup quality, roasted in an industrial-scale semi-fluidized bed roaster (SFBR) and in a lab-scale fluidized bed roaster (FBR), at three roasting speeds/profiles, to reach medium roast degree. Thirty volatile compounds were selectively investigated. Roasting the specialty coffee blend in both roasters produced lower concentrations of total volatile compounds, compared to the low cup quality blends. Higher concentrations of pyrazines and phenols were observed in low cup quality blends. In SFBR, quality and roasting speed affected all groups of compounds, including impact compounds such as 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2-ethylpyrazine, 2,3-dimethylpyrazine, 2-methoxyphenol and 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol. In FBR, only phenols were affected. The present results help explain why different roast profiles should be used for coffees with different cup quality for better sensory outcome and why blending should be performed after roasting of green seeds. They also show that results obtained in lab scale roasters are not necessarily reproduced in industry under the same settings.
