The sentences
The amounts of simple sugars (fructose and glucose) in fermented beans exhibited a decreasing trend, reaching trace levels or becoming undetectable after 12 h for Arabica beans and after 24 h for Robusta beans.
Upon roasting, Arabica controls generally showed an increasing trend in redness and yellowness with longer processing times; in Robusta beans significant increase was observed at the earlier stages, however with prolonged duration, values of color parameters decreased to the levels observed after 6 h of fermentation.
