Production and characterization of a new distilled beverage from green coffee seed residue

This study evaluated green coffee seed residue (GCSR) as an alternative substrate for producing distilled beverages. Two proportions of GCSR, 10% and 20% (w/v), were fermented and distilled in a copper alembic still. The spirits were characterized by GC-FID, HS-SPME GC–MS, and sensory analysis by trained panelists. Most of the 62 identified volatile compounds were affected by the GCSR concentration. Total terpenes, higher alcohols, and acetals showed the highest concentrations in the 10% GCSR spirit. Esters, acetates, and aldehydes were most abundant in the 20% GCSR. In the sensory analysis, the 10% GCSR spirit was characterized by floral, dairy, and almond aromas, while the 20% GCSR spirit was embodied coffee, vegetable, hazelnut, cooked cabbage, and nut descriptors. The results demonstrate the potential of GCSR as a substrate for producing coffee spirits with chemical and sensory qualities, with the 10% GCSR being the better option for fermentation.
