“…Color measurements have been successfully applied to predict the optimal temperature and period of roasting (Mendes, De Menezes, Aparecida, & Da Silva, ), acrylamide level (Gökmen & Şenyuva, ), and to discriminate between raw and roasted Arabica and Robusta beans (Mendonca, Franca, & Oliveira, ). Fine color correlations with sucrose content (Santos, Viegas, & Pascoa, ), acidity (Santos, Lopo, Rangel, & Lopes, ), moisture, density (Alessandrini, Romani, Pinnavaia, & Rosa, ), and caffeine content (Pizarro, Esteban‐Diez, Gonzalez‐Sáiz, & Forina, ) have also been established. Online roasting control systems via online image monitoring also work on the principle of evaluating variation in surface color/brightness and surface area of coffee beans (Hernandez, Heyd, & Trystram, ).…”
