How Luwak Coffee(Civet coffee) is Produced?



Obtained from the civet coffee beans are separated from the dung of civet, wild animals ferret. Coffee is popular because it has a unique taste. Unlike the regular coffee flavor though produced from the same tree. Civet coffee production is still very limited. Do not be surprised if the price can be exorbitant. 

Civet coffee could be said Indonesian coffee, even if it is found also in the Philippines. Nation we know civet coffee since the days of the colonial government. Plantation coolies when it used to consume civet coffee, because the planters allow porters take fallen fruit for their own consumption. Including civet coffee beans are left in the feces. This custom is believed to be the earliest known civet coffee. 
There are two types of civet coffee, kopi luwak is wild and captive civet coffee. Wild civet coffee from civet droppings found in the wild. Usually the civet droppings collected from forests around the coffee plantations. Wild civet coffee is believed to have a better quality than captive mongoose. 

Captive civet coffee obtained by cultivating a mongoose in a cage. Then civet coffee is fed. Accommodated stools and coffee beans contained therein are sorted for further processing. 
animal mongoose 

Mongoose is a carnivorous animals included in the weasel tribe. The scientific name is Paradoxurus hermaphroditus mongoose. These animals love the secondary forests adjacent to the plantations and human settlements. Civet is found into the residential areas. 
Mongoose has a habit of throwing dirt in places that are often passed. Dirt left behind is usually still contain whole grains. Digestion mongoose too can digest grain perfectly. 
One grain is often eaten civet coffee fruit. Civet coffee is believed to only select excellent quality fruit to eat. The fruit is fermented in the digestive tract. Her skin was discharged while the seeds remain intact digested and excreted with feces. 

Civet coffee production 
With the increasing market demand, resulting civet coffee a wild mongoose increasingly difficult to obtain. This encourages businesses to cultivate special civet coffee bean that can be taken. They produce civet coffee with the following steps: 
Selecting a good quality coffee fruit to give to the mongoose. Then the fruit is washed and cleaned. 
After the fruit given to civet coffee. These animals would still choose it again. Mongoose has a keen sense of smell. He knows the best coffee fruit edible. 
After that wait until the feces or droppings of civet issued. Taking stool is usually done early in the day. 
Feces containing coffee beans are collected and cleaned in running water. Then dried in the sun to dry coffee beans. Coffee beans from civet droppings still have a layer of horn that must be processed further. 
Coffee beans that have been washed and dried further processed with wet process. For more details on how the treatment process please refer to the processing of coffee beans. 
technological developments 
Today found a way to produce civet coffee is more practical. IPB food scientist, Dr. Erliza Noor, successfully researched how to make coffee luwak without the civet. The process mimics the enzymatic fermentation as it occurs in the stomach mongoose. 
Enzymatic reactions were carried out involving bacterial cell crusher (selulotik), destroyer of proteins (proteolysis) and xilanolitik. The bacteria obtained from the civet droppings isoloasi and selection. 
Fermentation method adapted digestive system mongoose. Where the coffee fruit peel used as media for microbial growth. From this process produced an enzyme that acts to change the chemical components of the coffee bean. 
According to the researcher this process can be an alternative of making civet coffee. Amid the various limitations in producing civet coffee using animals. With this method civet coffee production could be more mass, faster, cheaper and cleaner. "Without prejudice to the quality and taste" he said. 
Controversy civet coffee 
Behind the popularity of the higher, civet coffee is also controversy. Many terms are questionable. Ranging from health and food safety issues to issues of environmental conservation and animal welfare. 

a. food safety 
Given this type of coffee produced from animal waste, many people question the cleanliness and health for humans. Because the waste is considered as the growth of harmful microbes. 
These concerns are ignored BBPPPP research team. In a research report, they wrote that civet coffee-making process affect the food safety of the product. Both the poor depend on subsequent processing. Indeed, the process of washing and drying is wrong can trigger mold and harmful microbes in civet coffee. However, when the process is done correctly, the resulting coffee is safe for consumption. 

b. animal welfare 

Some time ago, a number of supermarkets in the UK boycotted civet coffee. This incident sparked a protest among animal lovers. They consider the process of civet coffee production in Indonesia ignoring animal welfare. Civet coffee forced to eat feces just to be taken. It is considered to exploit and abuse animals. 
But the government dismissed the notion that, they think it makes no difference to the cows milked. After all, although fed coffee berries breeders also still give another feed. Because if luwaknya exploited later died, manufacturers are also losers. 
Given this controversy all parties take a different stance. Some choose only sell wild civet coffee. There also choose to improve the breeding process. For example, with more attention to animal welfare. Civet coffee cherries are not forced to eat in excess. Others remained supplied feed and allowed to choose their own mongoose.

Civet Coffee

Civet Coffee is brewed using coffee beans taken from the remaining dirt mongoose / palm civet. Coffee beans are believed to have a different flavor after being eaten and passed through the digestive tract mongoose. The fame of this coffee in Southeast Asia has long been known, but only became widely known in gourmet coffee enthusiasts after its publication in the 1980s. Beans are the most expensive in the world, reaching USD 100 per 450 grams.
The origin of Luwak coffe is closely linked to the history of coffee cultivation in Indonesia. Inthe early 18th century, the Dutch commercial crop plantations in their colony in Dutch East Indies, especially in Java and Sumatra. One is the Arabica coffee seedlings imported from Yemen. In the era of "Cultivation" or Cultuurstelsel (1830-1870), the Dutch forbade native plantation workers picking coffee berries for personal consumption, but locals will want to try the famous coffee drinks. Then plantation workers eventually find that there is a kind of weasel who likes to eat the coffee fruit, but only the flesh is digested, and the coffee bean husk still intact and undigested. Coffee beans in civet droppings then be collected, washed, roasted, ground, then brewed with hot water, it creates a civet.The news about the pleasures of aromatic coffee is finally wafted by Dutch citizens planter, then the coffee then this becomes the craze rich Dutch. Because of its rarity and unusual manufacturing process, civet coffee is coffee that was expensive since the colonial era.
