One for the coffee

Last Friday, Victor Hugo Flor defended his research project about adding accelerators to coffee in the fermentation process to speed up processing time -- a good thing during the peak harvest when farmers want to get their coffee processed and dried as fast as possible. He discovered that by adding baker's yeast to the recently peeled coffee reduces the fermentation process by half, and doesn't change the taste.

Hugo's mother, who works at our diocese NGO Cáritas, was at the defense. She was so proud, as were we all.
