“…Some results align with Farah et al, showing that coffees grown at lower altitude have higher overall chlorogenic acids in green coffee and lower cupping scores in roasted coffee (Martins et al 2020); but other experiments show opposing results of higher chlorogenic acids at higher growing altitudes and a subsequent improved cup score and floral flavor (Worku et al 2018). In green robusta coffee, FCQA, diCQA, FQA, CQA, ferulic, and caffeic acid were all associated with positive cup quality, and only quinic acid was associated with lower scores (Lemos et al 2020). With green Coffea arabica, one study showed 3,4-diCQA was associated with sweetness and full body while 3,5-diCQA was associated with astringency and immature bean taste (De Maria et al 1994), whereas another study found that concentrations of 3,5- (a) Succinic Sour, bitter, odorless (a,c) Oxalic Bland, caramel, mild, some results suggest it is a flavor enhancer (a,d) Fumaric Sour, odorless alone, enhances fruit flavors (a,e) Tartaric Sour, odorless alone, enhances fruit flavors (a,e) Lactic Sour, astringent, acrid (b,e) Glycolic Mild buttery aroma (a) Caffeic Intensely bitter (f) a The Good Scents Company Information System n.d; b Hartwig and McDaniel 1995;c Rubico and McDaniel 1992;d Holm, Aston, and Douglas, 1993;e Neta, Johanningsmeier, and McFeeters 2007;f Frank et al 2007.…”
