Extraction of Caffeine from Thea sinensis Abstract Extraction of Caffeine from Thea sinensis main objective is to isolate‚ purify characterized caffeine from tea leaves. Sublimation technique was used to get the % yield which is 0.07%. The melting point of the standard caffeine with the sublimate is 229°C. Introduction The active ingredient that makes tea and coffee valuable to humans is caffeine. Caffeine is an alkaloid; a class of naturally occurring compounds containing nitrogen and

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water

Subject:Experiment # 2: Extraction and Evaporation. Separating the Components of “Panacetin” Introduction: The problem proposed in the experiment is an unknown ingredient found in generic Panacetin tablets that must be discovered. Panacetin tablets are known to contain aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ and sucrose; therefore‚ the tablets tested‚ containing aspirin and sucrose‚ are thought to contain an unknown of something similar to that of acetaminophen such as acetanilide or phenacetin. Another problem

Gene Cloning Methodology of DNA What is DNA? DNA was discovered by the Swiss biochemist‚ Johann Friedrich Miescher‚ in 1869‚ while he was working in Tubingen‚ Germany. He found that the DNA molecule is large; acidic in nature and rich in phosphorus‚ but only in the 1930s was the real and complex structure of DNA fully studied. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material in all prokaryotes and eukaryotes‚ i.e. it is the material responsible for the transfer of hereditary traits from
