Abstract

The cultivation of coffee as a raw material is highly appreciated for the resulting beverage with a pleasant taste and socioeconomic value. Our objective was to design an intelligent fermentation device with controlled fermentation technology to standardize fermentation processes for specialty coffees. For this, we carried out a study with a comparative descriptive design with an approach based on technological development that we divided into four construction stages and to validate it, 150 batch kilos of fresh pulped coffee grade were used. We managed to build an intelligent fermentation device with controlled fermentation technology to standardize specialty coffee fermentation processes with which an efficient prototype operating protocol is applied, with the ability to standardize controlled fermentation processes for specialty coffees. The built prototype allows, through a protocol, to ferment the coffee in a controlled and efficient way, from which we obtained 84 SCAA assessment points and the temperature control achieved helps to balance the biochemical processes that is reflected in the rate scores with characteristics of flavors, uniform fragrances and smooth profiles that give the coffee 84 points.
