Abstract

Lampung Robusta coffee got a geographic indication (GIs) protection from Indonesian government since 2014 with certificate number of ID G000000026. This GIs coffee come from three different geographic origins: West Lampung, Tanggamus and Way Kanan. In this research, we evaluate the possible application of simple analytical method based on UV-visible spectroscopy coupled with SIMCA for authentication of Lampung Robusta coffee with GIs. Two types of Lampung Robusta coffee were used: GIs coffee from West Lampung and Tanggamus and non-GIs coffee from Pesawaran. Each type consists of 60 samples of ground roasted coffee with 1 g weight. The all samples were extracted using a hot distilled water and 3 mL aqueous samples were pipetted into 10 mm quartz cuvette. UV-visible spectral data were recorded in the range of 190-1100 nm. The PCA result showed that GIs coffee and non-GIs coffee can be well separated. The SIMCA classification was accepted with 100% of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.
