OQS overall quality score of all combined crust and crumb characteristics, GCE green coffee extract, TPA texture profile analysis. Values in the row with the same letter in superscript are not significantly different from each other at p ≤ 0.05

L lightness, higher values indicate lighter colour, a, greenness; b, yellowness; higher colour intensity is indicated by higher values
