“…The deterioration of coffee brews during storage is generally accompanied by acidity development, detectable by a pH decrease, even at refrigeration temperatures (Nicoli, Severini, Dalla Rosa, & Lerici, 1991). In fact, pH has been used by some authors to establish the shelf-life of stored coffee beverages (Dalla Rosa, Barbanti, & Nicoli, 1986), even though other studies have shown that this factor is not enough to predict the shelf-life of coffee brews stored for a period of time (Pérez-Martínez, Sopelana, de Peña, & Cid, 2008a). In order to avoid or, at least, minimize, the increase of acidity of coffee brews during storage, some strategies have been used.…”
