Sensory Profile on Robusta Coffee by Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA)

Comparison of Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) and Descriptive sensory Analysis (DA) of model double emulsions with subtle perceptual differences

The Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method, an intensity-based Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) variant, has recently been developed for sensory characterization involving untrained panellists. The aim of this study was to investigate the sensory profiles of ten model (double) emulsions with subtle perceptual differences obtained from the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method with untrained panellists (n = 8...

Improvement of Robusta Coffee Fermentation with Microbial Enzymes

Pectinase was produced by solidstate fermentation utilizing coffee pulp with Aspergillus niger CFR 305. The exogenous pectinase contained 7539 ±70 U/g of enzyme activity. Further the pectinase enzyme was partially decolorized with activated carbon and 80 % recovery of enzyme activity was obtained. The optimum pH and temperature of the crude decolorized pectinase was 4.5 and 50°C respectively. T...

Identification and Analysis of Jasmonate Pathway Genes in Coffea canephora (Robusta Coffee) by In Silico Approach

BACKGROUND Coffea canephora is the commonly cultivated coffee species in the world along with Coffea arabica. Different pests and pathogens affect the production and quality of the coffee. Jasmonic acid (JA) is a plant hormone which plays an important role in plants growth, development, and defense mechanisms, particularly against insect pests. The key enzymes involved in the production of JA a...

Profile of the GMC. 1978 and all that.

Since its inception in 1858 the General Medical Council has struggled with the difficult job of maintaining both public and professional interests, and many of the criticisms made of it now have been made since then. Its latest "revolution" grew out of protests mademostly by doctors-during the late 1960s and early 1970s and culminated in the Medical Act 1978. Now a new head of steam is building...
