Abstract:
Coffee quality is determined by several factors and, in the chemometric domain, the multi-block data analysis methods are valuable to study multiple information describing the same samples. In this industrial study, the Common Dimension (ComDim) multi-block method was applied to evaluate metabolite fingerprints, near-infrared spectra, sensory properties, and quality parameters of coffee blends of different cup and roasting profiles and to search relationships between these multiple data blocks. Data fusion-based Principal Component Analysis was not effective in exploiting multiple data blocks like ComDim. However, when a multi-block was applied to explore the data sets, it was possible to demonstrate relationships between the methods and techniques investigated and the importance of each block or criterion involved in the industrial quality control of coffee. Coffee blends were distinguished based on their qualities and metabolite composition. Blends with high cup quality and lower roasting degrees were generally differentiated from those with opposite characteristics.
