On the Cover: Gracing the cover is a pretty red tea pot with a decorative and unique shape. The cups are also distinctive, reminiscent of waterlilies. This ceramic pot is made in Provence, France. It holds about a quart or 34 oz. It comes with matching “waterlily” cups. Shown in the background are hand-blown glass ornaments from Gilmor Glass, in Millerton, NY.

    Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

This solvent is a new bio-renewable agrochemical solvent, naturally produced by fermentation from corn derived feedstock, which has been recently considered as a very suitable and environmental benign solvent for food industrial applications. Static extraction assays (one step during 10 min) were carried out in an Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) system ◦ at three different extraction temperatures, namely 100, 150 and 200 C. Extraction yield and caffeine recovery were determined and compared with those obtained when using other liquid solvents, such as ethyl acetate or ethanol. High recovery of caffeine (≈60%) was found in the extracts produced using ethyl lactate, which demonstrates the potential use of this green solvent for the extraction of caffeine from different vegetable sources.

Giuria 9, 10125 Turin, Italy [email protected] (J.M.); [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (A.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-011-670-7183; Fax: +39-011-670-7162 Received: 2 August 2020; Accepted: 19 August 2020; Published: 1 September 2020 Abstract: Natural caffeine from decaffeination processes is widely used by pharmaceutical, cosmetic and soft-drink industries. Supercritical CO2 extraction (SFE–CO2) is extensively exploited industrially, and one of its most representative applications is the decaffeination process, which is a greener alternative to the use of organic solvents. Despite its advantages, extraction kinetics are rather slow near the CO2 critical point, meaning that improvements are highly sought after. The effect exerted by a combination of SFE–CO2 and ultrasound (US–SFE–CO2) has been investigated in this preliminary study, with the aim of improving mass transfer and selectivity in the extraction of caffeine from green coffee beans. This hybrid technology can considerably enhance the extraction efficiency and cut down process time. Further studies are in progress to demonstrate the complete decaffeination of green coffee beans of different types and origins. Keywords: caffeine; green coffee beans; supercritical CO2 extraction; ultrasound; hybrid technology 1. Introduction Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid widely used in beverages (soft or energy drinks), as well as in pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations [1].

  • Coffee, Tea, Or Caffeine-Free?

    Coffee, Tea, Or Caffeine-Free?

    SPECIAL REPORT: Coffee, Tea, or Caffeine-Free? Copyright 2016 by David L. Meinz, MS, RDN, FAND, CSP www.DavidMeinz.com Americans drink a whopping 500 million cups of coffee every day. That comes to over six billion gallons a year. That’s more than any other country in the world. It’s been our national drink ever since the Boston Tea Party. Coffee accounts for about 75% of the caffeine we take in and about nine out of ten Americans take caffeine in everyday in one form or another. The average American coffee drinker says they take in about 3 ½ cups per day. And the surprising good news about coffee is that there is very little bad news. The coffee bean, like all plants, contains many different naturally occuring compounds and chemicals. Some of those are the good antioxidants that help our body protect itself from damage. As a matter of fact, a recent study found that coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S; not necessarily because it’s such a good source, but simply because Americans just drink so much of it. It you really want lots of antioxidants, instead of drinking more coffee, start eating more fruit. Blueberries, dates, and red grapes are especially high in antioxidants. Of course the real issue in most peoples minds is the caffeine content of this beverage. There’s no denying that caffeine can improve your mood and help fight fatigue. It can also act as a mild stimulant to improve physical and mental performance especially on monotonous tasks that you do over and over every day.

    Characterization of Caffeine and Determination of Caffeine in Tea Leaves Using Uv-Visible Spectrometer

Gholap Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Addis Ababa University, P.O. Box 1176, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Accepted 4 November, 2010 In this research, characterization of pure caffeine and the method for determination of caffeine content in twelve commercial tea leaves have been reported using UV-visible spectrometer. The optical transition properties of caffeine were measured in different solvents (dichloromethane, water, chloroform and ethyl acetate). The results show that, caffeine has highest optical transitions in dichloromethane than the other solvents. After characterization of the electron transition, the content of caffeine in 6 Ethiopian black and green tea leaves and 5 different black tea leaves from South Africa, Kenya, 2 India, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka green teas, were analyzed at 30°C. Four Ethiopian tea samples were also analyzed at the boiling temperature using smaller extraction time. The result of the experiment at both temperatures indicates that, the caffeine content of Ethiopian green tea leaves is greatest of all the Ethiopian teas while black lion tea has the least. Of all the samples tested, Kenyan black tea had the highest caffeine content and Sri Lankan green teas had the least caffeine. The result also indicates that, caffeine can be extracted more at the boiling temperature than at 30°C.
