Summary

In order to know the performance of storage and preservation packaging material of germinative potential, five packaging materials were evaluated for the Coffea arabica seed, stored for 12 months in a cold room, under controlled temperature and relative humidity conditions at 10.5°C and 65%, on average. The packaging materials evaluated were: polyethylene (PE) 6 gauge; kraft paper, trilaminate (PE, aluminum and paper), fique and bilaminate polyethylene (multilayer PE). Mature coffee from the Naranjal Experiment Station was used, harvested from plots of 4-year-old C. arabica, in good phytosanitary conditions and processed in the Coffee Seed Process Unit at Cenicafé. The dried coffee parchment obtained in the post-harvest processing had values between 10.3% and 11.5% of humidity and germination percentage of 96%, with a standard error of 0.94. The seed was packed and randomly placed inside a cold room at Cenicafé. In the laboratory, the moisture content and the percentage of germination were measured. The packing materials with the highest water vapor barrier are polyethylene, trilaminate and bilaminate polyethylene, which preserve the quality of the seed during all 12 months, with germination percentage above 94%, on average. The packs that offered the lowest barrier were kraft paper and fique, which affected the germination of the seed to a greater extent, with values between 87% and 88%, on average, from six months. The kraft paper bag, which is currently used for packaging, is a material suitable for the storage of coffee seeds, for periods of less than six months.
