Abstract

A laboratory model spouted bed roaster for roasting coffee beans (Arabica and Robusta types) was investigated. The roaster chamber is connected to a hot air generator and a simple air classification technique is used for chaff separation and collection at the chamber outlet. Inlet temp. of 180-260C were used and coffee beans were roasted in 500 g quantities. The spouted bed effectively handled coffee beans of different varieties, sizes, shapes and blends. The model roaster increased yield, soluble solids contents, aroma and flavour and enhanced bean swelling ratio of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, in comparison to the conventional process.
