Abstract

Colombia, as one of the world's leading coffee producers, faces productivity challenges due to climate change and the degradation of natural resources. Although global production volatility has driven up coffee prices on the New York Stock Exchange, quality remains a key factor for competitiveness in specialized markets. In this context, fermentation has become a crucial strategy for enhancing the sensory profile of coffee, as it directly influences aromatic complexity and cup perception (De Bruyn et al., 2017).
