Fat:

The fat in coffee plays a very important role in flavor. It is found that there are many kinds of fat in coffee, the most important of which are acidic fat and volatile fat. Acidic fat means that the acid in fat varies with the type of coffee, and volatile fat is the main source of coffee aroma. Once the fat contained in roasted coffee beans comes into contact with the air, chemical changes may occur and the taste and flavor will become worse.

Crude fiber:

The fiber of raw beans will be carbonized after baking, which combines with the caramelization of sugar to form the hue of coffee, but the fiber turned into powder will have a considerable impact on the flavor of coffee. Therefore, we do not encourage the purchase of powdered coffee beans, because we are unable to taste the flavor of the coffee.

Minerals:

There are lime, iron, sulfur, sodium carbonate, phosphorus, chlorine, silicon and so on, because the proportion of very little affect the flavor of coffee is not big, combined to bring only a little astringent taste.

Aroma:

Aroma is the life of coffee quality, and it can best represent the coffee production process and baking technology, as well as the climate, elevation, variety, refined treatment, harvest, storage, and the appropriateness of baking technology in the consuming country. The results of gas chromatographic analysis showed that the aroma of coffee was composed of acid, alcohol, acetaldehyde, ketone, ester, sulfur compound, phenol, nitrogen compound and nearly hundreds of volatile components. Generally speaking, fat, protein and sugars are important sources of aroma, while lipids blend with the sour and bitter of coffee to form a smooth taste. Therefore, the disappearance of fragrance means that the quality is getting worse, and the relationship between aroma and quality is very close.

The bitter mellow aroma of coffee:

The color, aroma and taste of coffee are caused by some complex chemical changes that take place during the baking process. Therefore, raw beans must go through appropriate chemical procedures to achieve the most balanced state of its essential ingredients in order to be regarded as the best baked beans. The aroma of coffee changes with the heat, so the baking time should be shortened as much as possible, and the heat should be controlled at the lowest temperature that can produce effective chemical composition of coffee beans, that is, the time and heat of the shortest process, so that coffee beans can produce the most suitable composition ratio.
