Monitoring Coffee Roasting with NIR
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors: Determination of Moisture and Color during Coffee Roasting
Coffee is one of the most famous drinks worldwide. Beyond variety and geographical origin of the coffee beans, the key factor for its taste is the roasting of the beans themselves. Roasting not only extends the shelf life by reducing the moisture of the coffee beans, it is also crucial for developing and highlighting typical flavors.
Real-time control of the roasting process ensures a consistent high-quality of the final product and that customer expectations are met. Applying NIR spectroscopy during the coffee roasting process reduces operating costs and helps to increase the margin by optimizing roasting results and moisture content.
Find out how NIR can optimize the coffee roasting process in this application note.
