Description | Each constituent of the product undergoes a meticulous process, starting with submerged fermentation utilizing carefully selected microbial strains, followed by purification and precise formulation. Drawing upon the specific mucilage composition of coffee cherries and insights gained from field trials, the product has been meticulously crafted to effectively eliminate the mucilage from depulped coffee cherries. |
Mechanism | Coffee mucilage is composed of pectic substances, cellulose, and neutral noncellulosic polysaccharides. This product contains a comprehensive set of enzymatic activities, including polygalacturonase, pectin lyase, and cellulase, to effectively degrade coffee mucilage. The enzymatic breakdown of mucilage components ensures rapid solubilization into the water phase, facilitating efficient demucilaging of coffee beans. |
Benefits |
• Higher bean yield from cherry due to much reduced fermentation time. • Cleaner beans, more consistent bean quality, better cupping taste and faster drying of beans. • Less molded bean, off-flavor and environmental load. • More flexibility during peak season to process more cherries. • Less use of water and labor. |
Dosage | The recommended dosage is 80-150 ppm based on coffee cherry weight. However, the dosage has to be optimized based on the maturity of cherry, temperature and expected demucilage time. It is better to begin the test with the smallest quantity. |
