Green Robusta beans were subjected to pre-treatment with the aim of reducing the perceived aroma difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee. Treatment was a short soaking procedure with varying concentrations of acetic acid (up to 5%). Samples were subjected to thermal treatment (roasted) and ground to a standardized particle size distribution. Aroma compounds were evaluated by headspace anal. using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry. Pre-treatment significantly affected aroma formation during roasting and resulted in a modified level of pyrazines, furanic compounds and sulfur-containing compounds (p < 0.05). Principal component anal. illustrated that the aroma profile of the pre-treated Robusta coffee was closer to the target Arabica coffee after roasting. Sensory results confirmed that the aroma of the 2% acetic acid pre-treated Robusta brew was similar to Arabica; the maximum inclusion level of Robusta coffee in a blend could be increased from 20% to 80%. Food Chemistry published new progress about Coffee beans, green beans. 14667-55-1 belongs to class pyrazines, name is 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine, and the molecular formula is C7H10N2, Formula: C7H10N2.
