dc.description.abstract | Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world and brings a high
economic value for developing countries. To increase soluble solids content, many
methods were studies such as chemical methods, physical methods and
biochemical methods. However, biochemical methods is one of the best way that is
more safety, friendly with environment and budget saving to increase soluble solids
content in coffee production. Therefore, biochemical method was applied for this
task. In this study, Pectinex Ultra SP-L and Leafcell were applied to carry out the
optimal conditions for coffee treatment. Enzyme ratio of Leafcell was 0.3% while it
was 0.4% with Pectinex Ultra SP-L. The soluble solids content increased after study
by Leafcell (16.1%) and Pectinex Ultra SP-L (18.6%). The best result in this study
was Pectinex Ultra SP-L and Leafcell combination. The soluble solids content of
enzyme combination increased up to 20.18% in comparison with control sample. In
addition, instant coffee was produced by using Spray dryer. The contribution of this
study is that Pectinex Ultra SP-L and Leafcell combination can be applied in pilot
scale to achieve highly expected results.
