Defects of Coffee Beans with Different Postharvest Processes and Roasting Temperatures on Volatile Compounds of Coffee Beans from Coffee Small-Scale Industries of West Lampung Indonesia

Specialty coffee is processed by performing high standards nationally (SNI) and internationally (SCAA). Good handling in the small coffee industry is essential to producing coffee raw materials as a refreshing drink. The aroma released from the best coffee beans gives an emotional flavor to the drinker - the aroma produced from the best coffee beans with different post-harvest methods. This study analyzed the physical quality of moisture content, coffee bean defects from dry processing post-harvest handling (natural and honey), and different roasting temperature differences to produce volatile compound profiles from three small-scale coffee industries. Six samples of raw materials from 3 small-scale coffee industries were selected by purposive sampling with the criteria that the processing farmer had performed SNI standards. Six coffee samples from the September harvest in 2022. Observations were made in the laboratory for analysis of moisture content and quality defects of coffee beans, then roasted by the industry and analyzed descriptively and multivariate analysis for volatile compounds. The moisture content of coffee beans from all coffee industries has met the requirements following SNI 01-2907-2008, that the moisture content is not more than 12.5 %. All coffee beans produced have 50 % potential as fine robusta coffee beans because they have no primary defects. Increasing the roasting temperature on all coffee beans increases volatile compounds. Coffee beans processed with honey produced more volatile compounds than the natural post-harvest method. The caffeine content in all post-harvest processing processes in the three industries has a difference in concentration due to differences in roasting temperature and time. The study that in the three-ground coffee small-scale industries processed by the natural post-harvest method, carbamic acid compounds were suspected to be from carbamate class insect pesticides (carbofuran) and the fungicide pyraclostrobin. Considering that pesticide residues harm human health, it is essential to implement measures to educate farmers to use organic fertilizers and ensure consumer safety.

Risk assessment of four toxic heavy metals in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems around BSCIC tannery industrial estate of Savar, Dhaka,Bangladesh.

The shifting of tannery industries from Hazaribagh to Savar adjacent to Dhaleshwari River might have inevitable adverse impacts, especially the heavy metal contamination of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The study was carried out to investigate the concentrations of four heavy metals in the soil, water, and plant samples collected from around Dhaleshwari River adjacent to the Bangladesh Small & Cottage Industries Corporation Tannery Industrial Estate, Dhaka. This study revealed that average concentrations of cadmium and chromium in soil exceeded the maximum permissible limit of World Health Organization (1996) and average concentrations of lead, cadmium, and chromium in water exceeded the maximum permissible limit of World Health Organization (2011) and Environmental Conservation Rules (1997). The average concentrations of lead, cadmium, and chromium in the roots and shoots of both Eichhornia crassipes and Cynodon dactylon exceeded the maximum permissible limit of Food and Agriculture Organization/ World Health Organization (2016). Ecological risk assessment using indices model for soil pollution indicated that soil is mostly contaminated with cadmium and chromium which can pose strong ecological risk Health risk assessment using indices model for water pollution revealed the high degree of contamination and unacceptable non-carcinogenic risk and carcinogenic risk for adults as well as children through ingestion of water. Average bioconcentration factor and bioaccumulation factor were higher in Eichhornia crassipes than Cynodon dactylon for lead, cadmium, and chromium. Average translocation factor was also higher in Eichhornia crassipes for all the metals except cadmium. It is suggested remedial and mitigation measures be instituted to control environmental degradation of the newly established Tannery Industrial Estate.
