Condutividade elétrica e lixiviação de potássio do exsudato de grãos de café: alguns fatores que podem influenciar essas avaliações

Abstract: Os procedimentos de avaliação comercial da qualidade do café são baseados em parâmetros subjetivos, pois dependem de sensações e habilidades pessoais, adquiridas com muitos anos de experiência. Assim, a complementação dos procedimentos em uso com a adoção de métodos físicos e químicos tornaria mais objetiva a determinação da qualidade do café. A determinação da condutividade elétrica e da lixiviação de potássio dos grãos tem sido considerada por vários pesquisadores como bons indicadores da integridade do sist… Show more

“…Malta, Pereira and Chagas (2005), in work conducted with Coffea arabica L. (Rubiaceae), also found that small seeds presented greater values of electrical conductivity. This occurs because small seeds have larger specific area than large seeds, allowing greater release of electrolytes in 24 hours due to more rapid imbibition as viewed in this work.…”

“…Costa and Carvalho (2006) were able to sort coffee seed lots into different levels of physiological quality by using the individual method in the evaluation of the electric conductivity. Differently, Malta et al (2005) did not obtain consistent information when assessing the electric conductivity of seeds of that species; what had also been found by Lima et al (2003). The disorganization of the cellular membranes of defective coffee seeds allows for the easier penetration and diffusion of water within the seed (Illy et al, 1982), factors that are also related to the electric conductivity of seeds.…”

“…For Soto et al (1995), the electrical conductivity test was more efficient in evaluating the viability of coffee seeds than the tetrazolium test. According to Malta et al, (2005), however, the electrical conductivity values are significantly influenced by the presence of defective seeds or seeds mechanically damaged, thus favoring an inadequate interpretations for the quality of the seed lots analyzed.…”
