What is the extract of pectin in coffee beans

What is the pectin extract in coffee beans?

In the coffee bean sorting process (the process of distinguishing the size and picking out the poor quality coffee beans), the "round beans" are selected from the "flat beans." Because coffee beans are scarce, they should be sold differently from the usual coffee beans. Brazil, Blue Mountain and other places coffee round beans are very famous, than coffee flat beans sold at a higher price. But for farmers, there should be two coffee beans in a fruit, but only one grows, which greatly affects the production of coffee beans, so this is not a happy thing. Oh, and some coffee beans grow only one seed.(5% to 20% of the total), which is caused by fertilization or environmental factors, causing one side of the seed growth seriously deteriorated, looks round (in this case, the other side of the seed will not be produced), this round coffee beans, we call it "round beans" Coffee beans are basically two together to grow. So the beans will be flat on one side. This coffee bean has one side, we call it "flat bean". After peeling the pulp, you will see that the seeds have a thin layer of skin, which is the endocarp of coffee beans, and the seeds wrapped in the inner pulp are also called "parchment coffee beans." The endocarp is also attached to the surface of a layer of sticky material, this layer of sticky material is called pectin. To remove coffee beans, remove the pulp, pectin and endocarp.

After all the above steps are completed, the coffee with the endocarp is placed in a sack and allowed to stand for 2-3 months, commonly known as green bean rest in Latin America, to stabilize the coffee quality.

Finally, the coffee is shelled, the endocarp that protects the coffee beans is removed, repackaged, exported and sold.

General characteristics of washed coffee: clean, bright, sour, medium body; tends to apple, lemon and berry acids, milk and sweet chocolate, caramel, nutty flavor.

Common in Central America, South America, Africa and a small part of Indonesia coffee.

In addition, washing treatment method and its waste of water, so usually rich in water resources will choose this treatment method.

What is sunburn?

Solarization has long existed in Ethiopia and Yemen. It doesn't waste much water or electricity, but processing a good sun-cured coffee takes a lot of time and labor to separate the green beans from the defective beans.

After coffee is picked, immediately enter the drying field to dry. This process takes up to a month and must be carefully observed and stirred to prevent excessive fermentation, spoilage and uneven drying.

Of course, it can also be dried on African beds (grids that isolate the ground). The benefit of this is to make coffee dry more evenly and avoid spoilage.
