This study evaluated consumers’ perceptions of beverages obtained from the intervarietal hybrids of Coffea canephora, Conilon and Robusta, produced in the Western Amazon, through a home-use test with 127 participants. An acceptance test and a Check-All-That-Apply procedure were applied. Two clones, BRS 2314 and BRS 2357, were studied (both in natural and fermented versions) and their roasted coffee composition was also evaluated. All beverages were described as having a mild aroma, roasted flavor, and slightly sour taste; consumers noticed both the effect of the fermentation process and genetics. Natural coffees had greater sensory acceptance than fermented ones. Natural coffees were most associated with a slightly bitter taste, and were well accepted by almost half of the participants, mainly women. Fermented coffees were both associated with fermented flavor, but also presented specific characteristics. BRS 2314F was most associated with a fruity flavor and slightly bitter taste and was well accepted by younger consumers with higher levels of education. BRS 2357F was most associated with tobacco flavor and bitter taste and was well accepted by older consumers with a lower education level and a higher coffee consumption frequency. The positive acceptance of C. canephora intervarietal hybrid beverages allowed us to confirm its material market potential. |
