When the seeds are in the digestive system mongoose, occurs naturally during the fermentation process of approximately 10 hours. Prof. Massiomo Marcone from Guelpg University, Canada, said fermentation in the digestive mongoose is to improve the quality of coffee because besides Barada at optimal fermentation temperature of 24-260 Celsius was also aided by enzymes and bacteria that exist in the digestive mongoose. Civet coffee protein content is lower than regular coffee because reshuffle more optimal protein through fermentation. These proteins act as building blocks the bitter taste of coffee when roasted so that the mongoose is not as bitter coffee regular coffee because of low protein content. The evaporated components were different between civet coffee and regular coffee. Proven Luwak coffee aroma and flavor is very distinctive.
