Effect of fermentation on the quality of Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides bacteria: Sensory analysis, volatile compound, antioxidant, and proximate analysis
Effect of fermentation on the quality of Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides bacteria: Sensory analysis, volatile compound, antioxidant, and proximate analysis
Fermentation is a critical post-harvest process in coffee production because microbial metabolism can alter chemical composition and sensory quality. This study evaluated the effects of fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and their combination on the sensory properties, bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, and proximate composition of Liberica coffee. Coffee samples were subjected to single- and mixed-culture fermentation for 48 and 72 h. Fermentation altered the total phenolic and flavonoid contents and improved antioxidant activity in all fermented treatments, as indicated by lower IC50 values than the unfermented control, although the magnitude of the changes varied among treatments.
