The Need

The demand for higher quality coffee to meet the discerning tastes of consumers has always been a key driver for success. Innovative compounds and compositions that directly modulate the flavor of coffee products can enhance taste and quality but can be difficult to identify.

The Technology

These cutting-edge technologies are centered around compounds and compositions that possess the unique ability to enhance the quality of coffee products. By enhancing coffee body, flavor, and mitigating bitterness these compounds improve the coffee quality, consistently achieving higher Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) cup scores. These proprietary compounds have been meticulously developed to interact with the complex mixture of coffee compounds, whether endogenous to the green coffee beans or generated during post-harvest fermentation or roasting steps. By leveraging these compounds, coffee producers can unlock the full potential of their coffee beans and create exceptional brews.

Commercial Applications

• Convert Lower Quality to Premium: Transform lesser quality coffee beans into high-grade, premium coffee products that fetch higher retail prices.
• Enhance Coffee Quality: Elevate the overall flavor profile of coffee brews, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
• Improve Product Differentiation: Gain a competitive edge by offering coffee products with superior body and overall taste.
• Cater to Specialty Markets: Seamlessly address the evolving tastes of specialty coffee consumers, meeting the demands of the "third wave of coffee" era.

Benefits/Advantages

• Sustainability and Cost-Efficiency: Optimize the use of coffee beans by enhancing quality and transforming lower-grade beans, reducing waste and maximizing returns.
• Scientific Precision: Leverage data-driven insights from chemical drivers to fine-tune coffee attributes, resulting in targeted flavor modifications.
• Consistency and Reliability: Attract and retain a loyal customer base by offering consistent and exceptional coffee products with unparalleled taste, aroma, and mouthfeel.
