Abstract:

The quality and shelf life of coffee are crucial factors in the global coffee industry, directly impacting consumer satisfaction and market value. Proper packaging and storage are essential in maintaining coffee's quality, as they protect against environmental factors that can deteriorate its flavor, aroma, and overall quality. This review highlights the critical role of packaging and storage in preserving coffee quality and extending its shelf life. Effective packaging materials and advanced techniques, such as vacuum sealing and nitrogen flushing, significantly reduce oxidation and preserve freshness. Optimal storage conditions, including controlled temperature, humidity, and light exposure, are equally important in preventing quality degradation. Innovations in major coffee-producing countries have demonstrated the practical benefits of these methods in maintaining coffee quality, enhancing marketability, and reducing post-harvest losses. The adoption of high-barrier packaging materials, advanced packaging techniques, and proper storage conditions is recommended to optimize packaging and storage practices in the coffee industry.

Keywords: Coffee Quality, Packaging Materials, Storage Conditions, Shelf Life, Packaging Techniques.
