palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).
Page 44
Kopi luwak
• Producers of the coffee beans argue that the process may improve coffee through two mechanisms, selection and digestion. Selection occurs if the civets choose to eat coffee berries containing better beans. Digestive mechanisms may improve the flavor profile of the coffee beans that have been eaten. The civet eats the berries for the beans' fleshy pulp, then in the digestive tract, fermentation occurs. The civet's proteolyticenzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids.
