  1. Green Coffee General Content • An optimal quality green coffee has moisture content of about 8-12%. • The water activity can range between 0.45aw – 0.55aw. • Both of these are two most important features which need to be preserved to increase the shelf life and keep the freshness intact.

  2. Threats to the Commercial Quality of Coffee • Excessive Light • High Humidity • Temperature Fluctuations. • Packaging material used. • Oxygen exposure and moisture ingression • High temperature in warehouses. • Rodents and insects

  3. Microbial Reactions • Another crucial threat is the microbial reactions with green coffee. • Molds, especially those that contain mycotoxins and ochratoxins, can be a health hazard. • This leads to certain flavors getting affected by mold. That causes the coffee to taste moldy, earthy, and even phenolic.

  4. Temperature • High temperatures are particularly bad for green coffee as fragile aromatic compounds and flavors can evaporate. • Coffee being hygroscopic in nature tends to absorb atmospheric moisture and can lead to mold growth. Ruining the taste and cupping score of the coffee.

  5. Hermetic Packaging • The list of endless potential threats to coffee can effectively and efficiently be avoided with the use ofEcotact hermetic Packaging. • The 9 layers of protection keep the moisture, oxygen levels; the key indicators of freshness of green coffee at optimal levels.

  6. Things to be kept in mind while packing the coffee beans in hermetic packaging • Is the green coffee dried properly before packaging? • Not sealing the vacuum sealed coffee bags properly. • Keeping an eye on tampered or broken coffee packaging bags. • Not using the correct hermetic packaging.

  7. Ecotact Hermetic Packaging Bags • The core idea behind the Ecotacthermetic packaging bags is to cut off any probable entry of atmospheric oxygen and moisture. • The 9 layers are meant to act as a high barrier to preserve the coffee for a long duration by keeping the moisture and rodent/insect infestation away.
