その他の書誌記述:Weather and soil conditions of Costa Rica give to the country the possibility of having an economy based in agricultural activities. Coffee had been for centuries the most important crop for economic and social development in Costa Rica. However, international agreements avoid coffee producers to give an attractive added value to the grain. They have to export the product as a dried grain. They get prices that depend of weather con­ditions in other countries that produce coffee. Furthermore the coffee activity produces a big quantity of agricultural residues. It is estimated that every year, around 400 000 tons of pulp (broza) are produced. This material have a high moisture and a high sugar content (85 and 15%), characteristics which gives it a very perishable nature. Obviously, this material is difficult to manipulate, and producers have to expend a lot of money to avoid contamina­tion problems. Motivated by this situation, the INSTITUO NACIONAL DE FOMENTO COOPERATIVO (INFOCOOP) asked the INSTITUTO TECNOLÓGICO DE COSTA RICA (ITCR) about the possibility to propose a research project to develop new products from the coffee remains.This article presents a way to develop a fermented drink from the coffee pulp. Each process step is analyzed in order to choose the best mechanism and the best equipment.The project had been developed by three big steps; an artisanal one, using plastic bins, a pilot step using a NEW BRUNSWICK bioreactor of 3 liters capacity and a third one; the scaling step developed at the Centro Nacional de Innovaciones Biotecnológicas (CENIBIOT). In this last step, APPLIKON bioreactors had been used. The levels production were 15, 50 and 100 liters which were developed by triplicate. The final chart process is represented in figure 4. A fermented drinking from coffee pulp had been obtained, with a high degree of acceptability. Sensory analysis of the fermented drinking had been applied by the Centro Nacional de Investigación en Tecnología de Alimentos. (CITA). The same research center applied the analysis to compare the accep­tability of the final product using different yeast strains: Bayanus, Davis 522, Levuline, Vitilevure and the “bread making strain”. No significant difference in product acceptance had been found. Then; the “bread making strain” had been used in the scaling step.
