Part 3/5:
The team embarked on experiments to chemically modify date pits to emulate coffee beans' aromatic compounds. Their goal was to replicate the complex array of 28 compounds that give coffee its distinctive aroma and flavor. These compounds include various volatile elements responsible for the nuanced notes found in different coffee varieties. Interestingly, among the complex notes detectable in certain coffees, hexed enthusiasts may note subtle hints of green pepper, a flavor nuance appreciated by connoisseurs with a keen palate.
