Abstract

Integrating diverse measurement platforms can yield profound insights. This study examined Brazilian Canephora coffees from Rondonia (Western Amazon) and Espirito Santo (southeast), hypothesizing that geographical and climatic differences along botanical varieties significantly impact coffee characteristics. To test this, capixaba, indigenous, and non-indigenous Amazonian canephora coffees were analyzed using nine distinct platforms, including both spectroscopic techniques and sensory evaluations, to obtain results that are more informative and complementary than conventional single-method analyses. By applying multi-block PathComDim analysis to the multiple data sets, we uncovered crucial correlations between instrumental and sensory measurements. This integrated approach not only confirmed the hypothesis but also demonstrated that combining multiple data sets provides a more nuanced understanding of coffee profiles than traditional single- method analyses. The results underscore the value of multiplatform approaches in enhancing coffee quality evaluation, offering a more detailed and comprehensive view of coffee characteristics that can drive future research and improve industry standards.
