PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The product is a blend of different activities, and
the individual components of the product are respectively produced by submerged fermentation of selected microbial strains followed by purification and
formulation. Based on mucilage composition of
coffee cherries and field trials, the product is so carefully formulated as to
efficiently remove the mucilage of depulped coffee cherries with improved yield
and quality.
MECHANISM
Coffee mucilage consists of pectic substances, cellulose, and
neutral noncellulosic polysaccharides. The present product contains all
necessary activities to degrade coffee mucilage, such as polygalactronase,
pectin lyase and cellulase. The efficient degradation of mucilage components
results in quick solublization of mucilage into water phase, leading to efficient
demucilage of coffee beans.
BENEFITS
l Higher bean yield
from cherry due to much reduced fermentation time.
l Cleaner beans, more
consistent bean quality, better cupping taste and faster drying of beans.
l Less molded bean,
off-flavor and environmental load.
l More flexibility
during peak season to process more cherries.
l Less use of water
and labor.
