Summary
After a long storage period, green coffee beans turn white and quality deteriorates. Green Coffea arabica beans were stored at 10, 20, 30 or 40 °C and 52, 67, 75 or 85% RH. Except for beans stored at 10 °C and 52, 67, or 75% RH, and 20 °C and 52% RH, all others showed a significant loss of colour. The higher the temperature and RH, the faster was the discoloration. A considerable colour loss was evident as early as the 8th day of storage.
