Abstract

In vitro luwak coffee was produced using enzyme­microbial complexes. The coffee quality of non-fermented coffee beans (NFC) and fermented coffee beans (FC) was compared. The total free amino acid content was higher in FC than in NFC. The levels of glutamic acid and γ-amino-n-butyric acid in NFC were higher than those in FC; however, the contents of essential amino acids, such as lysine, leucine, and valine, in FC were higher than in NFC. During fermentation, the sucrose content decreased, whereas the fructose and glucose contents increased (p<0.001). The chromaticity of the coffee extract showed higher lightness (L), redness (a), and yellowness (b) values in FC than those in NFC. The caffeine content was significantly lower in FC (696.94±0.04 ㎍/mL) compared to that in NFC (1,130.22±1.55 ㎍/mL) (p<0.001). Conversely, the polyphenol and chlorogenic acid contents were significantly higher in NFC than in FC (p<0.001). Electronic nose analysis indicated considerable differences between the volatile aromatic components in NFC and FC. Sensory scores were significantly higher for FC than those for NFC. Therefore, the fermentation of coffee beans using enzyme­microbial complexes altered the chemical components, which promoted the Maillard reaction during the coffee bean roasting process. These results suggest the possibility of producing in vitro luwak coffee with better flavor and lower caffeine content.

효소 및 미생물 복합제를 사용하여 인비트로 발효 루왁커피를 제조하여 non-fermented coffee beans(NFC)과 fermented coffee beans(FC)의 커피 품질을 비교하였다. 총유리아미노산 함량은 NFC가 254.01±4.89 mg/mL, FC가 264.15±16.80 mg/mL로 FC의 함량이 다소 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이때 NFC는 glutamic acid, γ-aminon-butyric acid 등이 높았으나, FC는 lysine, leucine, valine 등 필수아미노산의 함량이 높았다. 커피 생두의 발효과정은 sucrose의 감소와 fructose 및 glucose의 유의적인 증가를 가져왔다. 커피 추출물의 색도는 NFC에 비해 FC 시료에서 높은 명도(L)와 적색도(a) 및 황색도(b)를 보였다. 카페인 함량은 NFC 1,130.22±1.55 ㎍/mL, FC 696.94±0.04 ㎍/mL로써 발효 후 약 38%의 카페인이 감소되었다. 폴리페놀 및 클로로겐산 함량은 NFC에서 각각 2.31±0.01 mg GAE/mL와 531.81±27.32 ㎍/mL, FC에서 각각 2.03±0.07 mg GAE/mL와 264.46±2.47 ㎍/mL로 발효에 따라 떫은맛 관련 성분의 함량이 유의적으로 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 전자코 분석에서 NFC와 FC의 휘발성 향성분의 차이가 뚜렷함이 확인되었고, methylethyl formate, 2-methyl-1, 3-cyclopentadiene, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, 2-methylbutanal 등의 휘발성 화합물이 발효 후 높은 강도로 감지되었다. 관능 평가에서는 NFC 추출물보다 FC 추출물의 aroma, body, aftertaste, overall에서 높은 관능 평점을 보여주었다(p<0.001). 이상의 결과에서 효소 및 미생물 복합제를 사용한 커피 생두의 발효는 유효 성분들의 변화를 일으켜 커피 원두의 로스팅 과정 중 Maillard 반응을 촉진함으로써, 향미가 증가되고 카페인 함량이 감소된 인비트로 루왁 커피의 제조 가능성을 시사하였다.
