| Resumo: |
The analysis of roast and ground coffee sediment is part of product quality control procedures. The aim of this study was to validate a methodology for determining sediment in roasted and ground coffee based on the principle of sedimentation with the use of organic solvent. A set of 30 samples of product was fortified in five increasing levels of sediments, 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6% and 3% and analyzed in duplicate by two operators, totaling 120 results. In the evaluation of accuracy in repeatability and intermediate conditions dispersion index was obtained in a suitable range, below 20%, suitable for use. The accuracy and precision of the method were considered satisfactory, and the uncertainty below 15%, proving appropriateness of using the method for routine analysis in the determination of sediments in roasted and ground coffee. |
