Abstract
Aroma and taste have long been considered important indicators of quality coffee. Specialty coffee, that is, coffee from a single estate, farm, or village in a coffee-growing region, in particular, has a unique aroma that reflects the coffee-producing region. In order to enable the traceability of coffee origin, in this study we have developed an e-nose system to discriminate the aroma of freshly roasted coffee in different production regions. In the case study, we employed the e-nose system to experiment with various machine learning models for recognizing several collected coffee beans such as coffees from Yirgacheffe and Kona. Additionally, our contribution also includes the development of a method to create an aromatic digital fingerprint of a specific coffee bean to identify its origin. The experimental results show that the developed e-nose system achieves good recognition performance for coffee aroma recognition. The extracted digital fingerprints have great potential to be stored in an extensible coffee aroma database similar to a comprehensive library of specific coffee bean aroma characteristics, for traceability and reconfirmation of their origin.
